TLC on some new ads- (Monster Cereals)

[Flynn47]

As my tastes go around I always seem to come back to my Monster Cereals, and I've had two gems arrive this week, though they needed some TLC from their age (don't we all?).

So I got my hands on two glow in the dark SDCC 2006 Bobble Cars featuring Frankenberry and Chocula (hate that they missed Boo).
The windows on the boxes were coming unglued, as was Frank's entire torso from his car. Their springs had also both bent in an off centred way and needed a jiggle.

I've added some pics, and can't complain; after 16 years they are in decent shape and I actually display my monster stuff out of box.

Also excited as I have some other old gems on the way (post from USA to Australia is a bit of a wait), including;

- 12" GITD Bobble Bank Frankenberry
- 3x regular Bobble Cars w/ Frank, Chocula and Boo
- Mail away version (silver base) of the Chocula bobble head
- Polystone Frankenberry
- Standard (white base) Frankenberry

I've picked up the 10" Frank and Chocula pops too and am crossing my fingers that Boo isn't too far away!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the collection and if anyone has any TLC tips, I'm all ears!

I wasn't able to view the photos, but great collection! Hopefully you are able to share a photo once you get all of the pieces together.

Fixed the images for you

Fixed the images for you

Thanks so much! What was the issue with them? I couldn't figure it out

Wow, that is an amazing Monster Cereal collection!
I don't have too much experience with fixing wobblers but I can offer some kind-of suggestions that worked for me in other scenarios.
For the box glue being undone, I have had problems with wobbler stickers peeling off because of age and a Elmers glue stick worked easily to put them back on.
For the spring, it could be done by hand but I wouldn't be comfortable telling you to do that. I have had OOB Marvel pops with springs and I tried to fix them back on and sometimes you can make it worse by doing it be hand. Plyers might help? Those are my suggestions but I have never tried them in your scenario so I would wait for other suggestions before trying mine

You can screw the head back onto the spindle. Just get the spring started and they will screw back on. Sometimes you may have to work with the spring to get it started, but patience is golden.

I think you linked the imgur page instead of the actual image so that’s why it wasn’t showing up. Kind of hard to explain if that doesn’t make sense

What great ads, for being as old as they are they look in fantastic shape.

The displays will look good once you get the mega pops added

Very nice ad icons collection! Those wobbler cars look really good!

[kevinbuddha]

Classic Funko always looks good!

These are some beautiful pieces! Really love your statues as well.

Flynn, really like the way your monster cereals are displayed--separately like that. Very nice.

[Flynn47]

Thanks for the tremendous feedback everyone. Its really appreciated!
Good news is the glow cars are back in one piece now, and once everything else arrives I'll update the pics, though I know the delta cabinets are not going to hold everything now.

If I had a complaint at all to make about the Monster Cereals stuff, its the imbalance; Heaps of Chocula stuff about, almost as much Frankenberry but then such a steep drop off to Boo Berry and then to Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy again.
