Rapco Craft Kits

Rock Tumbler or painting awesome monsters? Candle making or Creature from the Black Lagoon? I'd like to think that was only a decision that Grandma would consider making.

Rapco Monster Casting Kit

Every year I post about the Rapco Monsters along with the phrase "Why don't I own these?" This year is no different.

Rapco Monster Love

It wouldn't be October without me droning on about how cool these are and followed by my whining as to why I don't own them. Why break tradition?

Hobby Horrors

In the age of reproductions I really wish some kind soul would bring back the Rapco Monster bust sets. I'd love to have these bad boys on my extremely cluttered shelves...

Monster Rap

One of the bigger explosions in the seventies was the rise of the homemade craft kit, which no doubt was brought about by the hippie movement of the 60's..

Children across America were making macrame (guilty!), rug hooking (guilty!) and happily making Christmas tree Candles (My father must have worried about me).

One of the bigger players in all of this was a company known as Rapco, who had the good sense to create licensed Canadle sets of the Universal Monsters, who wouldn't want a frankenstein or a creature candle? I want one right now!

Check out the 1975 Rapco Catalog for Famous Monsters Candles , Plaster casts and Bisques, as well as spin art, bottle cutters and plastic-cast baby!
