Stuck for what to get that Horror fan in your life for Christmas, or looking to buy yourself something spooky as you inevitably receive no toys at all from your friends and family as you are now way into your thirties and they assume you just want aftershave, chocolate and socks? Well allow me to offer up some ideas on gruesome gifts to to make them grateful ghouls come Christmas!
In this first post, we have a load of vintage-style, custom created characters from various old horror and sci-fi flicks, packaged in a similar style to those Star Wars figures you maimed as a child! You can pick them up from the Old Colony Hobbies Ebay store (click here!)...but be quick, as some of these seem to have disappeared already!
Smashing idea there, good one Kenner!
ReplyDeleteLoving the Jaws figures, wonder if Forbidden Planet have any?
I think the Kenner label might only be there for the sake of sticking a name on them to make them look more authentic. As far as I can tell, these are just some custom-created toys made by someone over at Old Colony Hobbies...So sorry, I should have made that a bit clearer in the text!
DeleteI could be wrong though! Info is a little sparse on these things!
Aha, they ARE custom-made! Sorry, never clicked on the link the first time. Looks like there'll be no Jaws toys for me this Xmas, what with them being $50 each. Ah well.
DeleteStill good to look at though.
Those are great I would sink some money into them.
ReplyDeleteYeah...I just wish they actually were made by Kenner and were on sale at places over here! Be great seeing these in the shops... :)
