NEW FOR HALLOWEEN - 2025

[TheMadScientist]

That set looks to be a dumbed down version of the one they put out in the Monster Fighters line well over a decade ago. All those figures are re-released of figures from that line as well. Still a great value though. Makes me want to dig out all my old Monster Fighters sets.

Yeah, if I had the original Monster Fighters sets I'd probably pass on this. Since I don't have them, it's a good opportunity to get a stripped down version and some fun figures.

I'd love official Universal Monsters sets (besides the one Frankenstien Brickheadz), but have a feeling this might be the closest I get to that

[Dr.Terror]

I'm very shocked we haven't gotten a licensed set by now.   

[TheMadScientist]

They did the Frankenstein's Monster BrickHeadz years ago, but that's it sadly

Code Orange at Hobby Lobby

I've never seen much beyond uncarved pumpkin decorations at Hobby Lobby.  They stay away from much of anything that screams Halloween.  Best described as "Fall" decorations.

I don't know that this is new.  It uses an awfully familiar image and probably isn't.  But I saw it on Spirit Halloween's site and thought it looked kinda cool.

Spirit says there is free shipping on orders over $40.00, but that sounds like it may be a standard thing.

I think this is the same one they had for a year or, perhaps, two.  I don't remember "The Original Horror Show" being on it, but I don't know that I've ever seen the full image. Either way, I'm glad they're continuing to stock the Universal Monsters.

Any other details? Price? Are there 2 different ones, painted and not painted?

[Anton Phibes]

Mike, that Homegoods Frankenstein is either inspired by or maybe even a direct recast of Mike Hill's Sideshow 1:1 bust from years ago. Mike Hill is probably one of the most re-casted sculptors on earth. Its why he quit the garage kit industry. People kept ripping his work off. That being said, if you are going to rip off a great Frankenstein for Halloween, it doesn't get any better than that.

How much does it weigh?  Is the top open, like a planter?

How much was it in the store?  (Looks like most of us will have to get it off eBay.)

[John Pertwee]

Sorry. It is $25, solid and about 10 pounds if I had to guess. There were 2 in stock so may only be two per store

[Mike Scott]

maybe even a direct recast of Mike Hill's Sideshow 1:1 bust

Wish they'd do the Creature one!

Trick or Treat Studios sent me am email about this Candy Bucket.  (Wish they would do a nice blow-mold/foam version with a light.)
