NEW FOR HALLOWEEN - 2018

[filthycreationworkshop]

Just picked these up at Meijer for $7.99 each:

I actually work at Meijer and haven't seen these yet. Where exactly were they located?

These Meijers mugs utilize the artwork from the Habib's Brazil cups. I don't expect to  see Dracula stateside though.

Where the heck can we buy these?

Habib's in Brazil.

An extremely good fella I know managed to corral me one set at great leagues of wrangling. I had to have a set. They are great!  Apparentlythe art is making its way stateside on those Meijer's mugs and these shot glasses. Like I said, I do NOT expect to see the Bela art stateside.

Can't make out the manufacturer's name on the shot glasses.

But, the original retail price was $25.00 for the set of four.

The backside of the Habib's cups are different:




Too bad we can't get them at Burger King or Jack-In-the-Box.

Yes, the Habib's cups and the Super 7 sodas were two very colorful, and really neat things for 2018 that I added to my collection. I like both.

Just an extreme closeup of the front art.

Just an extreme closeup of the front art.

The Bride is facing the other way and the background colors are different.

Blow molds are almost non-existent in brick and mortar stores, but my wife spotted two at our local Ruler Foods, a Kroger discount chain. They are battery operated, but they definitely have that old school vibe. I picked up this one, but passed on the cat dressed as a ghost for now. I'll probably get it before the season is over.



Also, these super-articulated skeletons are really popular among the Mego community, because they are in the same scale (just a tad shorter than your average Mego). They have been showing up at Big Lots for $5, but I found them at Ruler for $2.99.

Yeah, those skeletons are fantastic!  Nice and rubbery, too.  They are essentially knockoffs of the 'Pose' skeletons, only much larger.
Our BigLots have them for $5, as well, along with a similarly styled dino.

[Mike...In 3-D!]

Just a Frank and Bride, I guess.

From what I saw, yeah. They had some modern stuff. A less than stellar Jason Voorhees ceramic mug, Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play shot glass sets.

I actually work at Meijer and haven't seen these yet. Where exactly were they located?

On an end cap near housewares, across from the pet supplies.

Here is the matching 'Pose' dino knockoff I referred to earlier:



A few of this year's $1 offerings -- Tiny flicker-eyed owl & classic paper lamps w/LED base!  (Gonna use some of these for a homemade zoetrope.)

[deadonarrival]

Another neat jointed die cut decoration. And a lot less than $45
