MONSTER-NIKS

6

One of the more cute/fun vintage monster toys from the 1960s/70s is these Monster Nik dolls. These little monster troll dolls consisted of a regular Wishnik/Troll body, molded in green plastic and an awesome monster head.

9I don’t remember what started my monster collection back in the day, just that they were so awesome maybe? At some point, I decided to start amassing a huge collection of monster toys of all shapes and sizes to increase my growing army of toys. My collecting frenzy of monster stuff had no rules. If it was a toy that looked in anyway monstery, be it a space monster, a Universal monster, a fantasy monster, or other type of monster; it was eligible for monster collection membership.

Back in the day, Monster-Niks fit the profile. That still holds true today.

10The Monster-Niks were a killer addition to my collection at the time. They made three different monsters:  Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and King Kong.  All three Monster-Niks came in a variety of colors and outfits. Bootleg figures called Monster Men also exist that look like second tier cheap, naked Monster-Niks but still super FUN. I never was bias as long as it was monstery. Even though Trolls were called Trolls when I was a kid, they were also called Wishniks. So there you go. Wishnik, Monster-Nik, it makes sense, it’s monstery and trollish and although small they pack a punch with huge monster impact! Soooooooo Cool! Sooooooooo Amazing!
