Description
This lot features a collection of three authentic 3.75-inch poseable action figures from the Universal’s Famous Mini Monsters collection, manufactured by Remco Toys, Inc. in 1980. Each figure depicts the iconic Creature from the Black Lagoon and is constructed from glow-in-the-dark plastic. The figures are officially licensed by Universal City Studios and were produced in Hong Kong. Each item remains in its original factory blister pack packaging, featuring the distinctive graphic cardback art associated with the series. The packaging is marked with Model No. 871 and Asst. No. 874. These figures were a staple of early 1980s monster toy culture, capitalizing on the enduring popularity of the Universal Monsters franchise. Packaging dimensions approximately 8.5 x 6 x 1 inches.
Condition: The figures are complete and remain sealed in their original packaging. The cardboard backing cards exhibit varying degrees of age-related wear, including visible creasing, corner blunting, and surface paper loss, particularly concentrated near the hanging tabs. The clear plastic bubbles show yellowing consistent with age. One figure displays a more pronounced amber-colored discoloration in the torso area compared to the other two figures in the lot.
