Things I Own: Luis Ricardo El Monstruo De Sancheztein

I got this bad boy I am guessing almost 10 years ago at the FX Show in Orlando, Florida. I am not sure if this show is still going on (let me google dat!) but it was the highlight every year for me growing up in Florida.
FX show was the largest toy show in Florida and one of the biggest in the country. Wall to wall dealers of vintage toys and comics. This was also before (or just around the time of) ebay so there was a ton of stuff that was marked at top prices.
I saw this little guy sitting on small table with a few other things. I wasn’t going to even ask the guy how much because I knew it was going to be over my budget, but I was like What the Hell (WTH?!). I asked the guy and he said, $20!

Not only was the toy a super rad vinyl wind-up. When you put a key and wind him up he starts to shake around, it also had this amazing original box! I had no idea what it was except for some sort of Spanish Frankenstein.

Years later I am still in shock, amazement and bewilderment that I found this toy. I have never seen one like it since. Due to the magic of IMDB I now know that this show was a TV show in Spain from 1977. OK DAMN!
Of course I do a google search and this comes up on Youtube! I still don’t understand what this show was but it looks like it was some sort of game show!?
Either way this is one of my favorite most oddest toys that I own!
