It's almost Halloween, and while I don't have as many monster toys to review as you might think, I've still got plenty of ephemera. Come on in for a pic heavy look back at a lunchbox from our youth.

You are going to need a smoke after watching this video.

I always thought Daiapollon was one of the uglier vintage characters out there. Now I am not so sure...

Our first TRUE HD video! This one comes from the collection of Josh C10 Fraser.. Bask in the glory of the tin..

First, I want to apologize for the condition of the toy that I’m going to review. I received this one from my mother (thank you mom) around 1984. It’s over 20 years old, so the condition may not be to good. But at least it’s still intact, eh.

The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known! A little late for Halloween, but I finally scored me a wind-up Dracula to complete the Universal Monsters set. Check it out!

"A Monster Science Created - But Could Not Destroy!"

Quite possibly the most iconic movie monster of all time, Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster.

"Not since the beginning of time has the world beheld terror like this!" ...My favorite Universal Monster of all time, the Gill-Man...The Creature from the Black Lagoon!

Hired goon, Kharis, of ancient Egypt is back from the dead. It's been about 3000 years. 3000 loooong years. ...Watch out, ladies!!

Yep, Sanjeev's back writing reviews! And just in time for the Halloween season, we have the first in a line of gorgeous tin wind-up Universal Monsters: The Wolf Man!

This toy was released in large numbers and is among the easiest to find Popy Jumbo Machinders today.

One of two Kamen Rider Jumbos, "X-Rider" is the more difficult of the two to find.

Each tin comes in a slipcase box. The toy is wrapped in a plastic bag, with a separate bag for the key.

In 2002 Marmit released a series of scaled down reproductions of classic Tin Robot toys. Retailing for 4800 yen, these reproductions are the perfect way to get some tin without spending a ton of dough.
