RANKIN/BASS' DRACULA from MAD MONSTER PARTY



and some ONE STEP AHEAD monsters! Always liked this sculpt!

RANKIN/BASS' MAD MONSTER PARTY 'The Mummy'




I have had this one for many, many years...I think before my first book came out or shortly after. It is the favorite of the ones I have left! Another EBAY item! w/ the little monster to his left!


Monkeying Around!

Another old painting from my portfolio (Hence my short hair)

CHOO CHOO CHARLIE

Another cool gift from my pal Ron Murphy! He gave me several CHOO CHOO ads and puzzles!



Always liked my friend Ron's drawing for my book!


ZACHERLE'S MONSTER MASH PARTY CD cover by my pal Jack Davis



Love this one too! Always enjoy this CD and one of Jack's better covers! My pal Rich Koz..SVENGOOLIE is showing THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US on ME TV. I have 4 behind-the-scenes realist 3d slides from the MAKING OF CREATURE WALKS AMONG US! So glad they have SVENGOOLIE on ME TV at 9pm SATURDAY NIGHTS now....and showing all of the classic UNIVERSAL MONSTER films!

THUNDERCATS banner

Our friend Jeff Hubbard made this banner for a Larry Kenney appearance!


JAMES ARNESS



Our friend Tom Frederick called a little while ago to tell us James Arness passed away... We watch him every late night on ME TV. His brother Peter Graves passed a few years back. ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT didn't even mention it BUT they had a full report on Kim Kardashian (Not sure if that is spelled right because I could care less about her).

More cool paintings of this famous duo!

Our friend Jim Engel sent this over!

SOAKY Fun Toys!

Do you have a SOAKY Fun Toy that would display better with a box? I have some cool repro boxes printed on card stock and ready to be cut and glued. I have used several on some of my SOAKY Fun toys!
