Monster Mondays!

With the Halloween Countdown coming up next month, I may do shorter Monster Mondays in September -- especially since there are five Mondays this month! Let's see if I manage that.

This week, it's Frankenstein collectibles!

frankenstein_maniaktransfer.JPG

First up, this Frankenstein Maniak transfer, still in the package! You'd think by now, I'd have all the variations of how I could get photos of this posted... and maybe I have!

frankenstein_necklace.JPG

Here's something I keep half-expecting to find at the Dollar Stores every October... this cheap (and cheap-looking) Frankenstein Monster necklace, part of the "Wear a Weirdo" line! Cheesy as this may be, I'd like to have one -- not that I'd probably ever wear it!

frankenstein_scarecycle.JPG

Next up, the Frankencycle from the Scare Cycles toy line! Note that the Monster's skin is pure white - probably closer to the way it should be depicted, instead of green, come to think of it! As I'm sure I've mentioned before, this uses the same kind of gyro technology that was used for Ideal's Evel Knievel toys.

frankenstein_sharpener1.JPG

Here's a fun-looking Frankenstein Monster pencil sharpener! Well, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to evoke the Monster, anyway!

And when you tilt it, here's the picture that appears! And I'm pretty sure those knobs are supposed to make it look like a TV set.

frankenstein_soaky.JPG

Next up, a Frankenstein Monster Soaky! I wish I had a pic of one with more paint left on it...

frankenstein_spoon.jpg

Hopefully, the photo of this Frankenstein Monster figural spoon won't be cut off!

frankenstein_squirtgun

Check out this Monster Squirt Gun! Looks great, but you know it's another one that basically has the Monster spitting when you play with it!

And we'll wrap up this week's installment with this vintage still from the first Universal movie!
