Soooo much bigger than the battery versions

Justin's all

Thank you tons!

Aside from the Invisible Man, this isn't high on my list of top designs they did back then. Loved the Party Monsters designs. These you'd almost guess very late '90s if not for the Crystal Pepsi clue. But in the end all are gods among monsters.

I've been putting off photographing it because of its size, which was like a day in the life of CTC.

Whenever I encounter someone particularly joyless, I know deep in my heart that they have never pronounced party as partay.

Hey, here's a TEN FOOT Doritos/Pepsi "Monster Bash" banner from the early '90s. This would've hung in the long front window of a supermarket, or maybe on the side of a building. It's absolutely ENORMOUS. (Take note of the Invisible Man, who was the Halloween mascot for Crystal Pepsi, of course!)

I would like to see the end of this animated special, where they learn to peacefully coexist.

Sadly this one doesn't... but at the price I got, he was still worth it. I'm hoping he kicks in on his own. I've had others to do that. Too valuable for me to perform any of those motionette surgeries on.

Extremely old devil creature, seen here holding a Telco Halloween Motionette from 1989.

I am now in possession of a super rare 24" Telco Devil from 1989, and even if you have no idea what that is, I hope you can still appreciate his dapper style.

Well this is amazing!

Then this Bob with a bob haircut was good for something.

Ironic, as there's nothing cookie cutter about a toxic green skull that doubles as a maze wherein you must lead a tiny ball from said skull's mouth to its eye socket.

Imagine going your whole life never experiencing the thrill of a Lisa Frank Halloween puzzle from the 1990s.

Others might say they'd lose a lot more if they did

Every Burger King Halloween Whopper, from 2015 to now. (Why though?)

Halloween! Nightmare King! Ghost! Ghost Pepper! Wednesday! And now the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper. I'm the only person in the world with a complete collection of Burger King's Halloween Whoppers, dating as far back as 2015. Can't believe I'm single.

I still maintain that there were a few eps of that show -- Safe Sex, and the one with the twins -- that easily could've and probably should've been movie plots.

And it's wild to say that when others barely passed muster for TV episode plots.

Yesssssss.

Fair point. And I still have't shown off all of his hats.

i don't think visitors have much say in the matter

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.
