Looking for a loose one, doesn't have to be in perfect shape (though not too beat up), glow or regular version.
If you have one you don't mind giving up, email me at reisobrien@gmail.com.
Need it kinda soon! Thanks!

MILB: Mummy I'd Like to Buy!
Hey gang! Does anyone out there have a spare vintage Remco Mummy they'd be will to part with on the somewhat cheap? I need one for a project at work and I'd rather not pay the $32.00 that they're going for on eBay.

Collection Dump! Remco Universal Monsters!
When I was a kid, it was pretty much mandatory that you loved monsters, and I was no exception. I used to pore through books about the classic Universal Monsters, devoured countless vampire and werewolf themed comics and probably watched Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein at least twice a year (whenever it showed up on our local UHF channels).
But one area concerning Universal Monsters that I missed out on was in the realm of toys and action figures. Remco had come out with a brilliant and sublime series of figures in the early '80s, which I would often see in stores, always intending to get a few, but always passing them over for yet another Star Wars or G.I. Joe figure.
I still have a vivid memory of a kid in my third grade class having all of these figures and bringing them for show & tell, and being insanely jealous. I vowed to get them the next time I saw them, but if I remember correctly, I never saw them again.
I managed to finally score an almost complete (I'm still missing the Mummy) set on a little-known auction site called eBay a while back, and now I can go back into my past, through the hazy miasma of memory, all the way back to third grade, and hold up my finally-procured Remco Universal Monsters figures and tell my fellow classmate to suck it. BAM!

Vintage Imperial Monsters!
Greeting boys and ghouls! MuuuaaaHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!!!
So, I've got to be honest; I'm hella short on time and have a ton to do today, so I don't have a lot of time to wax poetically about some toy I had when I was a kid and how I had a multitude of adventures with it and all that nonsense, so I'm just going to post some pics of toys I never had, but saw them on eBay and just had to have them.
I scored this lot of monster figures by Imperial a few weeks back and they have been dominating my Universal Monsters shelf ever since, mostly because they are just massive, about 8 or 9 inches tall, and made of a bulky, heavy plastic. These figures could be used as murder weapons.
Anyway, like I said, I never had these before, but I do have vague memories of seeing them in stores when I was younger, and maybe some kids I knew had them, but whatever, these are mine now! Now all I have to do is find the Wolfman figure, and possibly a Gillman one (if they ever made one of him).
So, there it is. Enjoy the pics!
(By the way, I happen to have two Frankensteins, if anyone wants to make a trade for a Wolfman or Creature!)
