Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[Howler]

I have a resin copy of the Bucket (or maybe speaker, not sure) -- which I got at a Wonderfest years ago.  Don't recall who I got it from -- but pretty sure it wasn't Keith Sarno.  Here it is all painted up.

I just saw a bucket similar to this at a vendor's table at Flashback Weekend on Saturday. My funds were extremely low so I didn't even bother to check for a price. It would have been too heartbreaking.

I know everyone hates repops but i wish i would see kids carrying buckets of this quality down the street on halloween. Seems like there is nothing cool for the kids these days. Also is it me or does this scream to be made in glow in the dark?

I'd buy one.

I'm with you.  I have always thought this should be repopped - and several other Universal Monsters added to the line for good measure.

(I fear we will be in the minority.)

well i'm not even saying repoping this but something of the same quality being made. i rarely ever see new halloween costumes and buckets for kids and feel excited for them.

Problem is, kids don't go trick or treating these days!

Really? In my town the little guys are everywhere but i think you are right that it does seem like less and less. Maybe i'm just too old school but i miss the days when I seen cool buckets, Ben Cooper and collegeville costumes and paper cut outs lining the halls of the stores. It kinda makes me sad if i would have known when I was a kid it would have been gone I would have enjoyed it more.

They do in my neighbourhood, but with parents securely in tow.

Enjoyed it more? I don't think I could have possibly enjoyed it more! Masks, even costumes, and more free candy than you could eat in half a week! Too cool. Other than getting apples of course.

I think I enjoyed Halloween even more than Xmas. Only Firecracker Day approached Halloween when it came to a fun holiday for kids.

Tell that to the 1200 that cross my door - tots to teens to grown women asking if my house is passing out the jellied crabby patties!

[Hepcat]

So is your house the one passing out the jellied crabby patties then? And whereabouts do you live?

[Richard]

There is very little trick 'n treat in my neighborhood. But where I grew up, and to this day, there is a lot. Guess it depends on the area. Plus it's usually really cold up here.

As per the bucket~ didn't Sideshow or someone produce a Frankenstein bucket of their own? I don't have that bucket, only the original G.S. 60s one. Did the modern one sell well? Anyone know? Was it in stores?(I never saw it)
Perhaps that's the answer to "why?"

[Mord]

I'm pretty sure it never came out.

In Glendale Calif.
Do you want me to save you some?

[Richard]

I'm pretty sure it never came out.

Think they did, but limited? The year was 1999, I believe.

Here's a guy who was excited to get one and posted it to his site (bucket with tag)


Here's one that sold for $9.99 this year~


I don't care for the style too much. But Sideshow should get an "A" for at least making the effort.
