DC Funko Kinder Joy Green Lantern Cell Phone Holder

The local Walmart's finally had a case of the DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs two weeks ago. I picked up two and got a Green Lantern cell phone holder and a mini Supergirl figure (I'll post about that one on another day). I picked up two last Saturday for they still had half a case. I ended up with a mini Batgirl figure (another post for another day) and another Green Lantern cell phone holder. I went back last Tuesday but they were all gone (they now have more of last year's Harry Potter Kinder Joy eggs). This was the John Stewart as Green Lantern, which is pretty cool (tip: it works better with two).

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 31: Breaking News

We only had eighteen ghouls and goblins this year. That's three more than what we had last year. We handed out Chewy Nerds and Smarties this year. We had a little bit left over along with an untouched bag of Butterfingers.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 31 Bonus: McDonald's White Boo Bucket 2024

You know that it had to happen for I just couldn't help myself. I got another Halloween Happy Meal from McDonald's a few nights ago and got this White Boo Bucket. This is another fuzzy monster but doesn't have the horns that the blue one has. The first face looks kind of sad or low on energy.


The second face looks a lot happier.

The third face looks pretty shocked that someone is reaching in for treats.

The front of the insert has various stickers including spider, ghost, pumpkin, demon wings and mittens.

The back of the insert features another black and white image that you can color plus a how many can you find game.


Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 31: Vote Elvira 2024

November 5, 2024 is Election Day so be sure to cast your vote for the next President of the United States. Elvira has a lot of election 2024 merchandise at her official website including this Vote Elvira 2024 bumper sticker. She'll get my vote for sure. I hope you enjoyed this year's Countdown to Halloween.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 30 Bonus: Horror and Fantasy Illustrated 2024 Pinup Special

Here's a special bonus treat for this week's women Wednesday. Zenescope Entertainment's Horror and Fantasy Illustrated 2024 Pinup Special came out earlier this month. The issue starts off with a special eight-page science fiction story.

The rest of the issue is filled with pinups of various women by different artists. The artwork includes fantasy, horror and science fiction. My favorite has to be the sexy mummy by Vinz El Tabanas

The Horror and fantasy Illustrated 2024 Pinup Special has several alternate covers. My favorite is Cover A featuring a demoness by Pierluigi Abbondanza.


Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 30: Scream Queens 3 Trading Cards Trio

My one big Halloween purchase this year was a set of sixty Scream Queens 3 trading cards. This is not based on the 2015 tv series but on the magazine that lasted from 1993 to 2002. It was also known as Scream Queens Illustrated and mostly featured b-movie actresses mostly from horror movies in stages of undress. It seems fitting that I present three trading cards from the set as the last Women's Wednesday post for this Halloween. Brinke Stevens is a sexy vampire on #7 while Deborah Dutch appears with a skull on #9. Finally, #50 features Jeanie Brown playing cards with a skeleton.
