The Burger Chef Reliquary

RE: Crankenburger Mask

"I looked up Burger Chef recently on Wikipedia, and was surprised at how huge the franchise was.  I think I was directed to your site from a link on wiki.  I was hoping I'd find a graphic of the Fun Meal that had the Frankenstein mask on it, but alas....Keep up the good work."

Dear John,

Sorry.  If it's any consolation, you can find this guy... on EBay right now.  Hurry though, auction ends April 30, 2006.  Also, here's a link to a Fangburger mask from that same series at The Imaginary World.
