Well that didn't take long. Friend o'the Archive Lonnie Cummins sent along quite a pertinent update concerning the subject of last week's post, 1973's Jeepers Creepers. So sit back, grab a drink to "ghoul" off and marvel at the contents of the retail box, which looks pretty striking all filled up:
You can see the strings here , which I suspect broke off pretty soon after these were played with for the first time. It also looks like each batch of toys was dumped into the retail subject-by-creepy-subject:
It's a little hard to discern, but there were only five different critters offered: Pterodactyl, Frog (really?), Mouse, Bat and (what looks like a dwarf) Alligator.
One thing I'm not at all sure about is when these were actually marketed as the line up doesn't necessarily translate to a given season. The last of the traditional Topps Hallowe'en sets came out in 1972 and this may have been an attempt to try a new format but am not really sure. I am happy to know, however, that my type example is legit!
