Mold 4495-051 â Plus Assembled Skeleton Figures & Loose Parts
Up for consideration is an original vintage Mattel "Fright Factory" die-cast metal skeleton mold, stock/mold number 4495-051, stamped ÂĐ1966 Mattel, Inc. on the plate â plus a substantial lot of molded skeleton parts shown in the photos.
Fright Factory was Mattel's horror/monster-themed Thingmaker expansion, and this mold produces individual snap-together skull, ribcage/torso, arm, and leg pieces that combine into posable skeleton figures â plus ball-and-chain accessories for extra dramatic flair. Included here are approximately seven assembled skeleton figures in varying poses, along with extra loose parts (a spare skull, ball-and-chain pieces).
The figures show wonderful tonal variety â bone/cream, flesh-tone, pink/translucent, and black, with several skeletons mixing colors across limbs for a striking, almost custom-built look. A genuinely strong display piece for collectors of vintage monster toys and Mattel Thingmaker history.
The metal mold shows used vintage condition: patina, oxidation, and old residue â including visible cream-colored Plasti-Goop buildup in the cavities â consistent with decades of storage and prior use. The "EYES" detail marking is visible on the plate.
Some assembled skeleton figures are missing limbs or are otherwise incomplete, as shown in the photos â please review all images closely, since the assortment is sold exactly as pictured. The molded pieces appear to be vintage/period-style Plasti-Goop castings consistent with the mold's design; we cannot guarantee from photos alone that every piece dates to the exact same production year. No glow-in-the-dark property is claimed, as this has not been tested under dark conditions. Mold has not been cleaned or tested.
