Monster Fun

---

---

As promised... I got a hold of all 3 of the new Monster boxes and here they all are:



I think I like the Count the best, even though he has typically been my least favorite of the 5 (ok, maybe he wasn't as lame as Yummy Mummy... but he's definetely #4 on my list).

I wasn't crazy about Boo when I first saw it, but now he's growing on me.

I don't think I really care for the Frank much yet, but, like Boo, he'll prolly grow on me soon.

Custom Addams Family bobbles

---

---

Mr. Frothy just presented me with a set of Addams bobbles that he hand sculpted, molded, cast in resin & painted... they are beautiful! I love the grey scale paint job on them and I'm really impressed with how his sculpting skills have progressed over the years - now only if we can get his molding/casting skills to do that same. He only made 2 sets (one for him, one for me) as he hates the molding/casting part of doing these projects. Enjoy.

666

---

---

I don't normally buy older advertising stuff... I try to stick to only kids stuff from the 60s-70s... But today, as I was scrounging through some antique store in some small town in the middle of Wisconsin, I came across this goofy fan:

It's for an 'amazing' product that comes in liquid, tablet, salve or nose drop form and cures everything from colds, headaches, fever, biliousness, malaria & constipation! But WHAT were they thinking by calling it 666? There is NO indication that it has anything to do with Satan or anything of that nature. In fact, it even has a glowing recommendation by an archbishop!!! I'm no bible expert or anything... but I'm pretty sure '666' was a well known number for 'the devil' even way before it was so popularized in the many heavy metal songs of years later. But I may be wrong.

Back from DragonCon...

---

---

I just rolled in from an 18+ hour drive back from Atlanta. This past labor day weekend was DragonCon- the biggest costuming convention around... It's full of every goofball group out there that you can think of. From goth kids, to trekkies, to Star Wars fans, to furries, to gawd knows what and more. This year it took over 3 huge hotels with a gazillion people. My friend Art was gracious enough to do some "professional" photos of a few of his friends at his house before the con. Here I am in my completed Mayor McCheese costume:

Here I am being über-dorky:


I'll post some more pix later. Thanks for visiting.
