Very cool stuff! Did you do all the in the dark photos?
ReplyDeleteNo sadly Im a horrible photographer with sub standard equipment.I have an 11 year old camera and my wife just got our very first cellphone that has a camera that she hasn't got the hang of using yet.
DeleteThat Fighting Furies guy was one of my all time favorite figures. I kept him in my light so that he would glow at night. Very cool. Of all the figures I lost he is on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteHe is definitely the best figure out of that set.I have one that is completely irreparably broken and Im always watching for another at a good price.
DeleteLove that Matchbox action figure! He right down my alley for sure. I have the Classics version of Scareglow and he is great you should try and grab yourself up one sometime if you can plus have you seen the new Glow In Dark Robocop that Neca has released? Saw it the other day at Toys R Us and it was pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe Captain Kidd is completely awesome! He is very mego like.I have the old and new versions of Scareglow but my old one is in terrible condition and the cape on the new one aggravates me a little but I still love him.Iv seen pictures of the new gid Robocop but not in person I have the old Kenner one tho.
DeleteThe Remco Glow in the Dark Creature is the big winner for me here too. : )
DeleteYeah that Robocop is pretty neat but i spent my money on a Marvel Legends Captain Steve Rogers so no Robocop this week for me.
I love that Creature also but they seem to have a flaw that make one or both of their feet break off
DeleteAren't those Scooby Doo guys by Character Options?
ReplyDeleteThat glow in the dark Swamp Thing was my only Swampy for years. Loved him, but not necessarily because he glowed in the dark.
Also, no Night Fighter Robocop?!
Toys r us has them listed as Charter Limited.Charter Limited a subsidiary of Character Options Ltd so pretty much the same thing. I have the Robocop but he didnt make it to the list because Im really not a big fan of Robocop.
Deleteof # 19... I still have Brother Mortimer, Baby Spookum, and Tina Terror... And the still will glow...
ReplyDeleteThose things sell for a crazy high price these days. I never see them under $100.00 each
DeleteThey were one of my favorite toys as a small child.... Still have my 3 ("Brother Mortimer", "Baby Spookums" & "Tina Terror") They are atop my (seldom used) TV...
ReplyDeleteI read one of your other glow in the dark posts earlier and it made me think of a friend of mine who is getting into glow in the dark artwork. He's a comic creator. Even though it's not monsterish, I thought you might enjoy a link to his FB page. The artist's name is Danny Silva. He's got some really great artwork.
