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.

I know many here won't care for these, but my 3 year old son will love them.

Though these stickers may not be popular with some UMA members....they look cute, and useful
for a cellphone cover. ;D

I just noticed the "Fur Sure" sticker at the bottom.... got a chuckle out of me.  If I had a little monster they'd have these.  Fur sure.
Stay sick. Turn blue. Drop dead.

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.

What he said. I am a big fan of craft beer and will be looking out for that sampler pack. The Spruce ale is probably not going to be good unless they did it right. I have had quite a few X-mas ales that literally tasted like a X.mas tree,

And alot of you guys are right  that alot of the younger people either don' like or have no clue about the Uni Monsters. Back when my kid was 9-10 tried to turn them on and did a mini marathon of a few of the classics including The Wolfman. They got the cold shoulder and were deemed as boring and dull. A year later we were watching movies together like Hell Raiser,Phantasm and Dawn of the Dead. They were glued to the screen. Go figure.
Also had this younger guy (age 30 or so)working on the dock with me and he overheard me talking about Karloff ,Frankenstein etc.
I asked him what he thought about Karloff. Had no idea who that was. I explained about the Uni monsters real quick and all he could say,Yeah, I think my Gramps used to watch those. :o
I guess it's fair . I have almost no clue who most  names are after late 1990's or so.

Just can't beat these skele-creatures for a mere BUCK each!  I had to buy the entire display box!   ;D
Apparently there are two different bats, a lizard, and a turtle, as well!

A few friends of mine collect these types of figures and some of the recent ones may appeal to fans of vintage blow mold decorations...

They are similar in size to the old bandai horror world eraser figures and fit nicely displayed together.

Sorry i cant share direct pictures.  :(

Agreed, its more than i like to spend on minifigures but that seems to be about the going rate for artist cast figures.
Kinda like the distinctive dummies of minifigures in a way.

Just picked these up at Meijer for $7.99 each:

The skeletal bats have arrived -- Joy!    :D
In my mind's eye, I always saw Christopher Lee transmogrifying into one of these in the Hammer films!



Other than the odd flea market or Goodwill shelf, these dollar stores are about the closet thing I've seen to current versions of my beloved J J Newberry, Woolworth, and dime store Halloween/rubber monster offerings.  Sure, upwards of 80% of their yearly offerings are crap, but there ARE treats to be found & the nostalgia vibes are priceless.
Even the candies -- ranging from Mary Jane to PAL gum to fruity Tootsie Rolls -- are offerings ripped from another era.   

Edit:  Side note -  If anyone is in need of skeletons & hasn't readily got access, I've got extras.  All I ask is that you pay for your own shipping (obviously), and pass on the gesture.  :)

No such store in California.  And not listed in their online catalog.

Do the cups have maker's info on the bottom?  Maybe they can be ordered from somewhere else.

I'd like a Frank cup for $8.00 - but I won't pay an eBay scalper $20 for a cup + $10 for shipping.

We've got a few Meijers within a ten mile radius, wifey loves the place.  Hold your bread until I'm out and about this weekend....I'll bring the ipad and grab a few pics of their offerings, if you're into it?

Creature would look great in that green!

Cool cups, that is the Strange Monster, so a must have.
The Bride's face color matches the back ground color, and her head disappears.
Perhaps she took up with the Invisible Man, and learned a few tricks.
