Grabbed one of these cool Frankie cards at WM today (AOF posted this earlier in this thread).





I checked Target last night but no UniMon Greeting Cards and no Mego Monsters. Our Target no longer even has a Mego display.

On a different note, I did pick up this fine selection of brewskies at Target so it wasn't a wasted trip. Mmmm... Pumpkin Ale.

 That's a tasty looking assortment of brews. I might have to pick one up. My Target has never had a Mego display. I asked the smarter looking employees, but I may have well be speaking in Mandarin. Confused looks were all I got.

Did you get one of those WM Frankenstein cards, Adam?

Yeah, I hear you, man. It's like we're aliens to some people. Sometimes I feel like the character from Repo Man when he made the disparaging remark about "normal people".

No.  I don't want one.

The Karloff head sculpt on this $5 Frankenstein hanging ghoul at Five Below is actually pretty decent.  Maybe you could make use of the head and trash the rest.

I don't think this has been posted yet, so my apologies if it has...

Checking out the Halloween section of Target, I found these over by the bulk candy:



I believe the price was $2.49.

Get used to it. This is the future.

I picked up one of these a few weeks ago and forgot to post; as far as I know the monkey skeleton is a new addition to the animal skeleton line.  I think it would definitely go well with a mad scientist theme; I want to pose mine a little more dramatically and wire it so he stays that way.



I'm not sure what's up with the dimensions in the description? "7.25 inches (H) x 5.25 inches (W) x 4 inches (D)".  Even seated (like the photo) the thing is a foot tall; standing it measures 21 inch.  The tail is bendable/positionable as well; the hips/shoulders don't have rotating positionability though like the human skeletons.

I've been keeping a rolling "Halloween Wish List" on my phone to remind me of cool stuff.  The blow up Sandworm is definitely top of the list, but I haven't seen one in-store yet.  I wasn't aware of the Super 7 stuff, and some of that is pretty neat too. 

I guess there's a new wave of Pop Monsters, I saw this exclusive Frankenstein at Walgreens. (I don't care for him, but the Creature and Metaluna Mutant I saw on the back of the box are cool)



Walmart doesn't really seem to have much in the way of cool decor this year, but I did like these HEAVY terracotta retro pumpkins.  They have a large opening in the back for candles or lights or what have you.



Kohl's has this nice light up jack o'lantern, but the $30 or $40 price tag is far too steep for me



Here's an in-hand pic of the Target skeleton monkeys.  The pricing isn't bad and they certainly have a few uses.



Lowes has these haunted books, the middle two groan and slide in and out and tilt.  I later saw them at Big Lots as well.  Lowes also has these nice metal jack o'lantern... planters(?) cauldrons(?)




Home Depot has these bags of 3 skulls for $10, which isn't bad considering the jaws are hinged and you don't have to get a bunch of other useless bones to get some skulls.



The rest of these are neat things I saw at Michael's. I've been using 40% and 50% off coupons to pick up items on my way home from work.  I already got the retro "Cauldron Polish" bottle and the large (like big metal coffee can sized) "Dried and Salted Bat Wings" canister.




I wonder if Disney is aware this resin spell book is biting their Poison Apple artwork



Hidden amongst the sprigs of halloween foliage I saw these venus fly traps... could be useful for something



These labeled skulls and palmistry hands are cool



New for the DIY molds are this cat o'lantern and jack o'lantern



The glass slides on this hanging skeleton thing look convincingly like x-rays



GID coated skull mugs to hold your "Boos"



Simple hanging psychic sign



This metal venus flytrap would be neat potted as a prop



Finally, this was such a cool and simple craft idea: just balloons wrapped in spiderwebs and dotted with spiders.  I passed on the $6 price tag and skipped next door to Dollar Tree and got a bag of balloons and a bag of webbing.  Then at walmart i picked up a 98cent bag of spider rings.  I haven't put them together yet, but I think a marble dropped in each balloon would add some good weight.

Really cool stuff.
