Retro-a-go-go has some new Halloween type decorations, including a "creature", the "monster" and a werewolf.

They're cool-looking and all, but I still really wish we'd get normal-sized masks. I actually asked someone from there and they said that they were working on it but I haven't heard anything since.

What I want to know is, if those things are 2ft tall, do they come on a 3ft tall card?

Um... no.

"...accordion folded matching honeycomb paper for fun arms and legs to dangle"

A dollar says they'll be folded-in in package with the heads rotated down, just like the decorations of yore they're patterned on.  I'll let you know for sure when I get mine.

Um... no.


I didn't think so, either, so why make an illus. looking like one?

I know! Mine was $10.46 for one set. Maybe they do come on a 3 ft. card!

Same reason cake mix features cake and not powder on the package. "Advertising makes it happen!"

Yea, that's false advertising! That's why I only buy cake in clear plastic boxes.

They also have smaller versions of those metal sign "masks". 9" - 11" ish. Wish they had come out with these, before I bought the 16" Creature.

I've been purchasing the large wall sculptures. Running out of room.
