Pop-Top Unbreakable Horrors Creature of Doom & Mummy (MPC, 1964)....

Description

Pop-Top Unbreakable Horrors Creature of Doom & Mummy (MPC, 1964). Multiple Toymakers a division of Multiple Product Co. (MPC) delivered a brilliant blend of horror and hilarity with its Pop-Top Unbreakable Horrors line-simple plastic monsters with interchangeable heads designed to "create your own monsters." The figures were sold in bagged sets, backed by eerie illustrations and ghoulish branding that struck a chord with monster-loving kids of the 1960s. With evocative names like "Creature of Doom" and "Mummy," these stylized sculpts capture the spirit of dime-store horror during the golden age of Aurora kits and Famous Monsters magazines. The offered set includes both the orange Creature of Doom and the yellow Mummy, still sealed in their original bag with illustrated header card. Packaging shows moderate wear including creasing around the hang hole, edge wear, and slight yellowing. The interior tray has a few small holes and a tear along the front edge. Figures inside appear untouched, stapled to the tray, and retain bold color. See images for further condition details. Items are sold as is. Unhinged and unforgettable, Pop-Top Horrors are a perfect snapshot of mid-'60s monster merchandising at its most imaginative. Whether you're a fan of MPC oddities or a seeker of obscure monster toy lines, this pair offers a frightfully fun addition to any vintage horror shelf.
