Trick or Treat Studios Universal Monsters Candy Pails (Frankenstein & Creature)

[Anton Phibes]

The trick is to buy them both. $15.64 combined shipping and taxes.

I grabbed both, they look very cool. I would have loved to get more monsters. Looks like they have a Lugosi license, so perhaps we can still get a Dracula bucket that's not officially licensed by Universal.

So it's not just me who has noticed how crazy their shipping is? I almost ordered a handful of those puzzles awhile ago, but the shipping was as much as the puzzles themselves.

They're based in California. It isn't them. It's the actual rates unless you're a mammoth conglomerate like Amazon. It's literally cheaper for me to send something to another country at times than it is to California, Washington Oregon, etc....

Just ordered Frank. shipping was $10.07 to PA

[Hepcat]

Yep.  Ordering. $20 each.  Though I'm sure the shipping is silly.

They really should arrive in time for Halloween if you order now. But since those pails don't have the carrying capacity I need for trick or treating, I'll stick to my trusty pillowcase which I've spray painted orange and then stencilled with black cats, bats, owls and witches.

Hmmmm...just thinking out loud...buy a couple extra Frankenstein buckets, remove the straps, put some speakers in the tops of their heads and stereo monster speakers!

And now there's Halloween lll ones.









Imagine the look on the person's face who got these together when the office told him they weren't renewing the licenses for his entire initial line up.

I ordered a Frank from Big Bad Toy Store.  It was $26.04 with tax and shipping.

They are described as being 9 in. tall.  I hope that is not including the handle.

I was trying to post about these, but the UMA wasn't loading pages for me.  Finally, was able to search for this post - but not I until had already mentioned this in the New For Halloween - 2023 thread.  (Anyone else have hassles getting signed on?)

Man, can’t believe these are Newly released on the heels of license loss, so Cool.
I agree TheMadScientist, I’m so hoping for a Lugosi Dracula, and Chaney Wolf Man, Phantom too!

Somewhat makes up for their only releasing the Karloff Frank injection molded 1/2 face mask, I wanted a whole line of these!

How do you copyright that jack-o-lantern? It's so generic looking.

By putting a silver shamrock tag on it.  Every piece of merch for it has one on the back of the mask.  The light up pumpkin has one too.

I didn't know it had sails?

If they manage a Lugosi Dracula and a Chaney Wolfman, I am probably in for those also.
