Remco's Universal Monsters 8 inch

[beckley]

Has there ever been a thread about these guys? I don't know if I even put this thread in the right section, I couldn't find one for monsters!
I love the 8' figures with the "monster crush" action! I have a complete Frankenstein and Creature, Dracula w/o his cape, a naked Mummy and a Wolfman minus his pants.
Does anyone else share my love for these guys? I think they're even cooler than Megos, with awesome head sculpts and they glow in the dark! Does it get any better?

I like them, although I only have Dracula and a naked Frankenstein so far.

I can never decide who's monster line up I like the best, I think my ideal set would consist of characters made by AHI, Remco, Lincoln, Tomland and Mego.

The Frankenstein and Dracula were two of my favorite figures growing and i still have parts of them somewhere. I have been collecting the little 3 3/4 inchers again recently. This is one of my favorite 80's toy lines!

The monsterizer from this line is sweet. If they made the monsterizer for the 3 3/4 like the one for the large line then I would definitely buy one. Who knows I still might set my sights on the large monsterizer someday, it's pretty sweet.

They did make one for the smaller line. You can see that here:

Also here is a monster pic just for fun:

Awesome setup, I love the way the Glow in the Dark Creature looks. I used to have all those guys, now all I have is the Wolf Man.

Oh I know, I just think it's plain jane compared to the larger one.
Cool playset picture, the distorted phantoms look spoooooky.

Finally started recollecting these. I love the Lon Chaney Jr. Wolfman! He is so squinty and upset.

Awesome Turnbolt! I just recently purchased my second Wolf Man off ebay, his shirt was torn, but I was able to give his pants and belt to my original, so I finally have a complete Wolf Man! He's my favorite of the line.

[turnbolt]

Me too! He is so perfect. Do you think it's wierd that I want to iron all of these figures cloths. Is this too nerdy?

[ryan0001]

Turnbolt, you got the large monsterizer! Nice! Is it fully operational? It will be mine someday, oh yes it will be. And you got the Mad Monster Castle, you're a bad man.

[ryan0001]

Nice picture too, those guys are ready to do some damage.

[turnbolt]

It is complete and mostly works. Just needs a little help. It is my favorite toy I never had as a kid. Glad I finally got one!!!!

What castle.....what r u talking about......

I love this line also and search for these daily. Just need the 8" creature and phantom to complete my collection.
