Diener Space Creatures XL

[Ed Gein]

The classic Diener Space Creatures mini eraser toys from the 70's have been officially licensed in order to create large-scale vinyl figures of the characters. They're currently up on Kickstarter to fund the most basic costs. Please take a look, and any support is greatly appreciated!

Here's the campaign:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1002792664/diener-space-creatures-xl

And here're some photos of the prototypes:

And of course, the originals:

Aw man. If these were the Dinosaurs, I'd be all over it.

OH MY GOD! IN! I loved these as a kid and tracked down a few of them on ebay a couple of years ago.

Awesome that they were based on old 50s sci-fi b-movies.
My favorite is the orange Tree Monster from "So I Married A Monster From Outer Space". I used to call him Blobman as a kid.

Yeah I think one of the draws of the toys was that they were all weird ripooffs of movie monsters! Definitely some of the most ubiquitous toys.
