Imperial monster toys

Hey Dave, crazy stuff! I had never looked into Imperial Toys, always thought they were an old, passed away company, but was I ever wrong. At a recent collector show, I found a set of the Imperial 6" strechable Universal Monster rubber figures from 2005. ..and a set of old goofy monster-headed flashlights.

Y'know, I actually took pics

Y'know, I actually took pics of both the carded and tagged Imperial jigglers from the last couple of years, but never posted a "review" of them. Didn't think anyone would be interested and there's not much to say about them anyway. I've probably seen the flashlights, but just don't remember. There's so much monster ephemera, it's really hard to remember it all (for me, anyway..) There's a bunch of Imperial stuff out there, but most of it really isn't that great. But they have their fans.

My GF gave me a full set (I guess?) of those Imperial stretchy Universal guys. They're pretty cool,but what would the review consist of?

Exactly

It would be almost nothing but pictures. Granted, I've done plenty of reviews that are basically nothing but saying "look, this exists", but usually for older and stranger stuff. Not something that anyone who's gone into a Walgreens around Halloween has likely seen. Who knows, maybe someday on a really, really slow day... lol.

Oh and for the record, the figures released were Frankenstein, the Bride, The Creature, The Mummy, The Wolf Man and Dracula. So if you've got those 6, you've got the full set.

Dave,
Are you sure this isn't Suckadelic's Gay Kong?
