This review is from: Set of 12 Creepsters (6 Good & 6 Evil) (Toy)

Creepsters were made by Playing Mantis and are 1/64 scale size (the same as the majority of Johnny Lightning vehicles also made by Playing Mantis. These were released in 2004 and are pretty rare to track down. They are worth it though and are easlier better than the various creature cars of the same size released by rival company Hot Wheels over the years. These Creepsters apparently glow in the dark, although they don't if you keep them in their blister packs.

Like most of Playing Mantis' Johnny Lighting vehicles, these cars do come with a bonus item. It's a trading card of the vehicle revealing it's powers. These vehicles are made of hard plastic attached to metal undercarriages. The plastic wheels of the blue vehicles indicate that vehicle is on the side of good and the black wheels that it fights on the side of evil.

The good cars are Hyde N Seek, who is apparently the leader of Good. He is a green skinned head with orange hair underneath a black tophat. Orb-it is an eyeball which is supported by white tendons or something and is holding a green ball which on the playing card is another eye. Nitro Stalker is a blue faced large nosed vampire with blood stained fangs and teeth, Go-Go Gobblin is a green gobblin head with fangs, black hair and big ears. Mouth Off is the coolest of the Good vehicles and is basically dentures with eyes on wheels. Webmaster is a black spider with green spots.

The Evil cars are lead by Bone Head which is the top part of a skull with eyeballs still in it. On the playing card it is white but the car is tan coloured maybe to represent skin, which is a bit confusing. FrankenRod makes a nice unofficial Frankenstein's monster vehicle or unofficial Frankenstein movie vehicle. Apart from Orb-it he's the only vehicle where you can see the engine which is in his mouth. Goober Gear is another large nosed green skinned face on wheels. Sting Thing is a cool mouth on wheels with eyes crossed with a scorpion. Eye-Beam is a green top of head creature with four eyes and mouth. Brain Storm is a large pink brain with an eyeball.
