Halloween stuff already in stores...

[SpeedierThantheGrave]

Some deep-down Monsterkid urge makes me want to horde these things, but I fight that urge because I would run out of room PDQ. I feel a little blow mold crazy this year.. ordered a few BM things online and bought a giant blow mold candy bucket today. That's all I need now is to get hooked on those space eating blow molds  .. but, damn, I just love those things.

I dig the blow molds too, probably because there's that huge vintage cheese vibe.  Plus most of the ones I see are still made in the USA. I grabbed the giant pail and a matching normal one both in black with orange eyes and mouth last year post-holiday on clearance. The orange over black has a cool dingy aged look.

I hate to be an enabler, but Target and Rite Aid both have more 33" blow mold stuff on their websites. (Target's are online only I believe.)

Killer deal here on the 'zon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008643NTW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00



I ordered one of these plus the 17" Black Cat bank, and a 17" Renzi-style Kong bank for cheap with free shipping.

Well, it's started.

At first it was just an appreciation for Halloween blow mold items. Then, I bought a few cheap candy buckets at Walmart. Next, I ordered some inexpensive new blow mold pieces from Amazon. Now, I find myself searching through eBay listings for old blow mold stuff with plans to bid on some "Watch List" items. Another collecting category to eat my money and my space (LOTS of space that I don't have). Why do those darn blow mold H'ween pieces have to be so Monsterkid attractive? Rats!

It's a disease, for sure. I've had several of the blowmolds for years, going back to when the current Frankenstein and Dracula were first released in the 90s. I've picked up a few here and there, but I'm always looking. My cheapness keeps me in check.

I LOVE blow molds!  I am fortunate to have several, though I had to get rid of some when I moved.  I ditched the Frankie, but kept the Drac.  I lost a ghost, but kept another.  Lots of pumpkin pails had to go, but I managed to salvage some vintage ones I really liked.  Overall, it's been a bit of give and take.  This year, I picked up the Walmart repro of the Black Cat and Pumpkin and then found an original in a thrift store. 

AND I NEED MY CHOCULA BARS!  BUT NO ONE AROUND ME HAS THEM!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  I shall be forced to make my own.

If someone can pick me up a Franky & Bride soda & creature lolly pop it would be greatly appreciated.  There is none of these stores in CT

We'll probably check in on World Market this weekend (only 1 exit up the road).  If they got them out I'll grab you some!  
We've been keeping an eye out for the Butter Beer they had last year, it's on the site just not in stores yet!
Do you want any of the other monster candy? Mummy pops? Frank and/or Bride bars? Frank brittle?

For me, there's a multifaceted appeal to the blow molds: Nostalgia. Still Made in USA. Their warm, inviting, yet eerie glow. A simple one piece of plastic, cast in one color, then spray bombed in a contrasting color.
I picked up my pair today as they started to sell down to only a few of each left.




I found a 9 cent mini pail in the clearance section at work... "GIVE UNCLE SCROTOR SOME CANDY!!!"

These 7 in. Halloween-Themed Puppet On a Pen items from Educational Insights are a bit overpriced but pretty darned cute:








They have googly eyes and the vampire glows in the dark.


They are showing up on eBay and on the Educational Insights site:

Lowest price I have seen so far is on Amazon - and free shipping:

Found these 7 in. "Fright Fighters" Halloween Punch Pens at the local Vons Supermarket.  Have not found them anywhere else as yet.  Vons' price was $3.99 ea.  I got two Frankies.



Arms are controlled individually and their eyes light up red with every punch.


Here is their wholesale site:

I would be grateful just to get the 2 soda Pops and lollypops too. (Franky & Mummy)
Thank you!

Can the Walmart blows molds be ordered online? I'm not seeing them online or locally in a store... Maybe someone has the sku numbers?

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I couldn't find them online either. None of the three Wal-Marts I've been to had them either.

The burn on getting the larger blowmolds online is the shipping is often higher than the blow mold! I wish stores would stock these, and cut back on all of the inflatables.

I couldn't find them online either. That Walmart website isn't very good. I've checked four Walmarts  and their website for Hween coolness and haven't scored anything from them. Found some good stuff at Target, Party City, and online at Amazon and a couple of other places. I will, however, be buying the family size monster cereals from Walmart if my local store ever gets them.

Amazon offers free shipping on their big blowmolds ($35 minimum order).

I agree about the inflatables, they just don't appeal to me at all. I love those blowmolds though.

Since I couldn't find the blowmold JOL lamp repops at Walmart I ended up going the evilBay route with vintage. They're more expensive, but still pretty affordable for classic Monsterboomer items. Those Empires from the '60s are very cool.. and they're the real deal.

For anyone who has found the Walmart blow molds, please post the sku numbers to help us locate them, and thanks!
