Monster Paper Dolls

I missed Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) by one day, I couldn't think of anything new. That was until I came across my copy of (Universal) Monster Paper Dolls that I have had and never used.

 

If I were ambitious (and/or knew how to go about it), I'd put the following photos up as PDFs and offer them for sale on Etsy or something. As it stands, feel free to scam these photos that I shall now upload.

Choose Frankenstein's Monster or his Bride and there are many different scenarios in which you can dress them up.

 

Or similarly, you can utilize Count Dracula or the Wolfman as your template.

 

Several more backgrounds have been provided. Go for it, cut and paste to your heart's desire.

 

 

 

And a final setting for you.

Pretty cool artwork, you can thank Walter Velez for that.

 

Another book I unearthed can give me hours minutes of fun by moving stickers around.

 

 

Amazing what one can find when one tidies up. Since Bruce Campbell is undergoing treatment for a treatable cancer right now, this was a nice find indeed. 

 

Happy Hina Matsuri, have fun with your paper dolls and Have a Nice Shopping!

 

Happy Lupercalia!

I didn't get a chance to disembowel a dog or a goat today for Lupercalia, so I guess I'll just share some Gojira Valentine's chockies and cards that I scammed off the net.

There is always next to NO chocolates for Godzilla fans, lots for dinosaurs and Ultraman and One Piece and Dragonball and Gundam, yet nada for Godzilla. Although I did manage to find some very early on in the chocolate season at Aeon Supermarket. They were sold out shortly thereafter.

 

I gave one of these to each of my graduating students, and saved the remaining ones for myself.

I gave one of each of these to my Wedding singers and staff yesterday. (The leftovers were also yummy.)

Disappointingly, the chocolates themselves weren't stamped with any Kaiju upon them nor did you even get a sticker. Ah well.

Tomorrow, I plan to give one of these to each of my 1st year students. I think they're gumballs.

At least I get to keep the container.

This is the only Godzilla item I own that is Valentine-based, it's from a calendar from 1988.

 

These cards are all scammed from the internet. They look great, though the captions are lame. (Yet, isn't that the point?)

So Happy Valentine's Day/ Lupercalia/ Galileo's Birthday/ Ides of February! Whatever you wish to celebrate...

Bonus: Universal Monsters Valentines!

 

Love Me Tando.

 I forgot to mention the most amazing purchase I made at Candy Land (see yesterday). I discovered a Mighty Mouse Fun Club Magazine from 1957! Sheesh, that's even older than me...It's in near near mint and considering it's packed with puzzles and games, surprisingly, none of them have been done. 

Not a bad score for under 20 bucks and the Official Membership Card is still intact! I wonder if I can still redeem it.

Here's a few activity pages. Print them out for hours of fun!

My friend also took me to Tendo and Yamagata, against my will of course. Each city has its own Mandai clone, the one in Tendo is superior and I won a couple of mini-wallets via UFO Catcher.

They are really tiny and are good for a few coins only. Too small for a credit card, even! Regardless, still very cool.

No big purchases, this time around, just some odds and ends, such as these small Kaiju.

(Oops, I got two of Gomora.)

I thought this might be Topo Gigio, it isn't.

A couple of UFO-caught Pokemon (Pokemen?).

Best score, this Metaluna Monster Kubrick.

Not much to do with Halloween so I popped in a few coins into a Gatcha and I got ya!

Rats, I won the fox but I can't find it right now.

I tried and failed at scoring a ghost.

As for my World Yokai book, here are a few more pages. There are no descriptions as to who is whom so I'll let you figure it out for yourself.

That's it for tonight. No trick nor treat unless you include the Mighty Mouse pages above.
