>>10632399 Menards brought back their usual assortment of Crazy Bonz style items.
A fine selection, though it's sad to see they haven't done any new molds, or brought back a bunch of stuff they had back when they first started to seriously carry this kind of product.

This store is always more expensive than Michaels, with only a fraction of selection, but they usually have at least a few jems every year.
Everything here was already 50% off, so most things were $30 and under.

>>10634175 I'm kind of a newfag regarding skeleton figures so I wonder what would be the ideal toy for someone who likes decent articulation and sturdiness?
I have the Motu Skeleton Warriors and I'm in love with those fuckers, their design and articulation is rather simple but compelling, plus they glow in the dark.

https://www.sourcehorsemen.com/mythic-legions/necronominus Note almost all of the figures that are up for preoder won't be made and shipped until next year.
Like MOTU Origins, they are modular, and you can mix and match between the same body types.

You can preorder last year's Necromaninus wave and this year's All Stars 6 wave at 3rd party sites, like BBTS.
Note if you are around for the Store Horsemen preorder or stock sales the figures are cheaper. Basic ones are $37 instead of $50, the legion builders are $25-$26 instead of $40+, and the deluxe, mounts, and bigger characters range from $40 to $70.

I know there's a sea horse out there, but I've yet to find it in person.
I found the crab only one year at Walgreens, and never again.
There's a lot of different fish to be had.

That concludes Walmart. Tomorrow I'll do Target, and then I'm all caught up on what I've found so far.
I've been far too busy recently, but I will try and get out to some other stores; including a few I've never been to before. I also need to hit up and do a proper photoset on Spirit Halloween. I was already there, but my hands were full, and I couldn't take any snapshots that day.

The next Mattel Creations exclusive is a 2 pack of Skeletor & Vee Friends Skilled Skeleton.
https://creations.mattel.com/products/masters-of-the-universe-skeletor-x-veefriends-skilled-skeleton-2-pack-hrl14 Personally I love it, but the $50 price tag is rather steep.
I really hope we get this Skeletor head with the faceplates on a later mass retail release.

>>10648765 I'm aware of the head coming in Waltor. I skipped Sir Girard when he came out because I was having a shit run at the time, so I'm looking forward to getting a few Waltors to make up for it. It's actually a much better figure than Girard. I don't like the red cross on black.
But I still wouldn't say no to the return of Skapular. Yeah, it's nearly the same as Girard with that head, but I prefer the full red tabard.
