Thread: Halloween Motionettes

Tweet

Does anyone else have some of the vintage Halloween Motionettes? We have 2 witches and a Dracula. I believe they're from the early 80s and go for a good buck these days. Post some pictures.

Hey Paul.
I have the witch, a bride of frank and a creature.
There is another at my parents home- I just don't remember which one it is- devil?
I need to get rid of these things if anyone is interested pm me.
I've accumulated way too much stuff. Lotsa universal monster collectibles.

I love them, but am being picky since I have some of my faves already. I passed on the same witch style at Goodwill in the 2nd pic, I dunno, a but too scary? lol, I like em a bit campy or realistic styles. I love the vamp one you have and I also had one but he broke in a move, so was happy to find another in like new condition at Goodwill. Only missing his pet bugs.

For Halloween, I have a large witch, large Phantom of the Opera, several small witches, dracula, trick or treat kid (skunk). My mom has some nice rare ones, one of which is the red phantom, she got a nicer conditioned phantom so I got her old one. Love him. The walgreens reaper one I added this year, has nice audio but seems flimsy compared to the old styles and definitely is too top heavy.

I have many Christmas ones but will save them for the other forum.

Oh my god... when I was younger my mom had these from when she was a kid. They always scared the hell out me... I dislike them. In my opinion not kid friendly, and after a while they get annoying as well. My pets always ran away from them too.

I don't have any of the vintage Halloween ones but I did pick up the Universal Monster 18" battery operated versions of Dracula, The Bride, Wolfman, Creature From the Black Lagoon and (blue skin) Frankenstein on Ebay a couple years ago.

I never thought of them as scary but then I wasn't a kid when I first encountered one. In fact I think they're all pretty ridiculous but in a good way.

And annoying is an understatement. I'd rather they didn't move or make any noise at all.

I have a Flying Dracula, a standing Dracula & a Flying Witch & I haven't used them in years but they still work. I'd gladly trade 'em for a Lugosi Vampire motionette or the Mummy one. Or not, I'm not sure if I wanna keep them.

This Drac.

Very cool, someone cam to my door with what looked like a voodoo doll!

You mean someone actually left on those annoying whines The ones we have you can make them move without the noise. 2 of them were given to me by a great friend, and she passed away last summer. Needless to say I'll never get rid of them. I've liked them before because they have a vintage appeal to them, plus the witch looks neat behind a cauldron of mist or dry ice. They are fairly hard to come by these days. I only activate the motion a few times during the season. They'll stop moving over time from too much use.

I've got some, too I'll have to find mine and take some photos I miss stores selling animated figures such as them.

Yes, the noises do get annoying
