NEW FOR HALLOWEEN - 2018

[Monsters For Sale]

Target Stores are listing some Halloween things at their Online Catalog already.

I don't recall seeing these items last year:


      Halloween - Skull & Crossbones  - Target - 2018 -  10.00 Dollars

As stated, this will be released Aug. 21, and is already available for "pre-order". 

Here are two more items that will be released on Aug. 21:


Halloween - Lifesize Werewolf Skeleton - Target - 2018 -  45.00 Dollars



Halloween - Mad Lab - Target - 2018 -  35.00 Dollars


The Mego dolls are listed under "Mego".  Some are for sale, most are listing as "coming soon".  The Mego Dracula was not listed, yet.


Remember, Target will deliver orders that total at least $35.00 for free.  I sometimes save myself a trip to the store by getting a couple small items like this and having them toss some chips or canned goods, etc. to qualify for the free shipping.  I hate going to big stores and having to park really far away.  (Besides, they always put the Halloween stuff as far away from the entrance a possible.)


I know, these Halloween items are dopey.  But stores are starting to schedule releases.  The craft stores like Michaels, etc. should get stuff on shelves earliest.

Keep an eye out and report what you find here!

I think the MAD LAB is kinda funny! 


Who thinks animals have "ear bones" as part of their skulls?

That Mad Lab is really cool!  And that werewolf skeleton sent my mind instantly to the MST3K episode "Werewolf", which had a similar size and quality skeleton. (free to watch on Youtube for those who are curious - "Keep circulating the tapes!")

I heard Michael's already has some Halloween stuff, but I haven't been able to get in yet to check it out.

There is the fantastic rabbit skeleton at JoAnn Fabrics that has bone ears!  It's amazing!

' Nice, unusual find with an intentional retro vibe!

They borrowed a bit from the swami spirit globe

Stopped in Micheal's the other day, not too much out yet of interest, just the standard assortment of skulls and bats. BUT - these "mermaid skeletons" are new to me.  But at $17, these are definitely a wait-till-50%-off item.  And they are the perfect size to wrap up and customize into Fiji Mermaid gaffs.

Hey, those ARE cool!

Werewolf and Mermaid skeletons.  Never saw those last year.

They should do a Cyclops skull now.

Classic Monster animatronics.  Like the Frankie, not really a fan of the Dracula.

Hmmm...let's see...

1- Space eaters. (check)
2- Expensive. (check)
3- Poor appearance. (check)

Wow! I just saved myself 300 smackers! I can buy a bunch of Hween stuff with that wad of dough. 

[aura of foreboding]

Yeah, I was not super impressed with them either.  But, it was pretty cool seeing the big three together at the Home Depot.

I appreciated seeing them anyway. I wasn't trying to be negative, just trying to interject a tad of levity into the proceedings. Thought about trotting out the old "Oars-For-Boating" shtick but didn't want to go overboard.

Hey now...  I don't look a thing like Karloff!

I was looking at these (online) and noticed that they come in two sizes: 16 inches and 30 inches.  I think the 30-inches would be a cool item to display at a  seaside bar, seafood café or fish store.

Sixteen sounds a bit small.

Haven't seen these listed for stores or Amazon, yet.  But there are numerous listings on eBay now.  One eBay seller states they will not be available to ship until August 10th.  eBay prices are in the $60 - $70 range.  Bet they will be a lot cheaper if Walmart or BigLots carry them.

[aura of foreboding]

Big Lots! has these.  I saw them the other day.
