Block Heads was an ingenious ugly monster novelty item invented by Woody Gelman who was the creative art director at Topps. The artists assigned to this project were Wally Wood, Basil Wolverton and Norman Saunders, the same artists that previously created the 1965 Ugly Stickers. This is directly from the Fleer Double Bubble Archive Books. Slight edge wear to masks, but all are unused and complete. Originally they were 15¢ a piece and there is an original label on the box which says "open it up, put over your head, get all 12 and scare your friends!"
Condition: (Excellent).
