Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 30: Elvis Presley as the Wolfman Action Figure

The King of Rock and Roll howls at the full moon as the beast inside him is revealed. I asked Grok to make an action figure based on what if Elvis Presley was the Wolfman. He must have turned during a concert because he's wearing a torn jumpsuit.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 29: Humphrey Bogart as the Mummy Action Figure

Grok's looking at you, kid. Add a fedora to the Mummy and you get a very unique Humphrey Bogart action figure. This should come with a scarab beetle and a Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless gun. A sarcophagus and a 1940 Buick Phaeton car are sold separately.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 28: Marilyn Monroe as the Bride of Frankenstein Action Figure

I asked Grok what an action figure of Marilyn Monroe as the Bride of Frankenstein would look like. I wasn't expecting much really but she came out okay enough to show her for this week's Women Wednesday post. I wouldn't immediately recognize her as the actress. She does have the beauty mark but is a bit on the slim side. I was delighted that she was shown still in the package. I would get her just to have her along with the John Wayne as Frankenstein's Monster action figure.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 27: Tiny Nightmares Series 1 Sam Mini Figure

Here's the Samhain aka Sam mini figure from the Tiny Nightmares Series 1 mystery bag. He's the murderous kid dressed as a scarecrow in the Trick 'r Treat movie. Sorry about the dark pictures but my digiital camera is acting up again.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 23 Bonus: Maleficent Boo Bucket 2026

The Happy Meal Boo Buckets dropped at McDonald's on October 20, 2026. This year's theme is Disney Villains and includes Jafar from Aladdin, Scar from The Lion King, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Maleficent from Cinderella and Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations My sister and I got the Maleficent Boo Bucket on Wednesday evening. I love the wraparound graphics but I think the color should have been purple insstead of green (hey I had to find a flaw somewhere).

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 20: Tiny Nightmares Series 1 Insert and Wrapper

I picked up four mystery bags of Tiny Nightmares at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I gave two to my sister and kept two. I won't show or tell you what figures I got yet but I will show the insert and wrapper. The mystery figures that are available are shown to be Michael Myers from Halloween II, Annabelle, Pennywise from the It movie, Regan from The Exorcist, Stripe from Gremlins, Sam from Trick 'r Treat, Chucky from Child's Play 2 and Tiffany from Bride of Chucky. Seems like the theme of Series 1 was dolls since there three of them. I'm hoping to find Tiny Nightmares Series 2 and 3 at the local Dollar Tree for next year but I'm not holding my breath.

Countdown to Halloween 2016 Day 19: Wednesday Strawberry Snap Cereal Featuring Thing

The local Walmart's finally stocked the Wedneday cereals from Kellogg's the second week of October. The only one I picked up was the Strawberry Snap cereal featuring Thing (yeah, the hand from Addams Family not Marvel's Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four). The strawberry flavoring is strong but it's also super sweet.

The back of the box features puzzles including hidden items in Thing's apartment, a match game and a maze. Each of the three cereals in the Wednesday line has different hidden picture puzzles.

The non-nutrition side panel has trivia questions. The other two cereals in the Wednesday cereal line has different trivia questions.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 18: Jim Henson's Franken Berry 2026

Jim Henson's Franken Berry is back this year with him as a Muppet. This was the second monster cereal that I picked up at the local Walmart's last month.

Like the other two monster cereals, the back of the box has a Monster Maker so you can create your own Franken Berry Muppet after you cut out the pieces.

There is no toy prize inside this box either..

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 17: Jim Henson's Count Chocula

Here's this year's Jim Henson's Count Chocula from General Mills (yeah, he's a Muppet again). This was the first one I picked up at the local Walmart's last month.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 16: Jim Henson's Boo Berry 2026

General Mills brought back the collaboration with Jim Henson for this year's monster cereals (yep, they are Muppets again). The Jim Henson's Boo Berry was actually the last one I picked up at the local Walmart's last month.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 15: Scream 2026 T-shirt

My sister found two black 3XL Scream t-shirts at the local Walmart's for three dollars each a few weeks ago. She gave me one and kept one for herself. It features Ghostface with the saying "What's your favorite scary movie?"

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 14: Elvira Studebaker Hearse Ad

This week's Women Wednesday Halloween special edition features the Elvira Studebaker Hearse ad from The Hamilton Collection. It was in the October 19th, 2026 edition of Woman's World. I got to see it online last Friday and thought to share it today. The Elvira figure is not removable, and the hearse itself is 10 3/4" long. "Elvira's Deadly Ride" is available for three payments of $33.33 plus $15.99 tax/postage/services. Alas, I won't be pre-ordering it due to the price (almost $150) and I've read a few bad reviews about Hamilton over the years. Let me know in the comments if you have ordered this or ordered other Elvira items from Hamilton.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 13: Western Legends as Classic Monsters

For this week's Halloween-themed Toy Tuesday post, I asked my friend, Grok, what if Clint Eastwood was a Dracula action figure. I thought the results were pretty decent for he does look like the actor. I thought the cape over the long coat was funny.

I also asked Grok to create a John Wayne as Frankenstein's Monster action figure. I like the addition of the cowboy hat, clothing and a gun in a holster. Unfortunately, he lost a lot of Duke's facial features.

Countdown to Halloween Day 1: Days of Chucky 2026 T-shirt

Let's start this year's Countdown to Halloween with a t-shirt post. I found two Days of Chucky 2026 t-shirts at the local Walmart's a few weeks ago. They were black, size 3XL (the only size they had) and only five dollars each. I got both and gave one to my sister, who is a big fan of Chucky. She loves the original movies and the tv series (she wasn't a huge fan of the Child's Play remake movie).

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Eleven in Hospital Gown

The local stores still have the Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things eggs in stock. I picked up two of them a few weeks ago and got Lucas the basketball player again plus Eleven in hospital gown, which I didn't have. This series doesn't seem as popular as the Harry Potter series maybe because everybody keeps getting a Demogorgon.

Superhero Sunday: Captain Bluebird Action Figure

I consider this post a follow up to yesterday's post since it features Captain Bluebird as an action figure. I still think the jetpack is overkill, but I do like the wings (shame that Meta AI cut the tips off).

T-shirt Thursday: Moongem Comics Logo T-shirts by Grok

Grok came up with two t-shirts with different designs featuring a Moongem Comics logo. I like the second one better.

Toy Tuesday: Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest Game

I asked Grok to create a board game based on Moongem Comics. The AI came up with a science fiction board game called Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest.

The miniature figures used in the game include Captain Bluebird, Shadow Avenger and Doctor Moongem (he's a mad scientist here instead of a superhero). You can tell the differences between the figures in the two pictures (I like the ones from the first picture).

Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest is an interesting board game but not exaxtly what I was exptecting.

Monster Monday: Marhtoo the Flame Fiend Action Figure

I created Marhtoo with HeroMachine this past Saturday night for the fun of it. He was originally intended to be just a generic monster for Moongem Comics. I kind of like how he turned out with the yellow fur patches on his feet to match his yellow goatee, teeth, eyes and ram horns (yes, his skin is orange).

Meta AI turned him into Marhtoo the Flame Fiend, which gives him a demon vibe.

Meta AI also gave him a little interesting bio on the back of his card. Not only was he born in the molten core of the Ember Rift but he now guards the Power Gems in the hidden Gem Caves.

What I also find interesting is that Meta AI created other figures in this toy series including Zorra the Star Witch, Kragg Rockgoblin, Nova Ninja and Captain Quasar. Sounds like a good lineup for a gold old fashioned Saturday morning cartoon series.
