Countdown to Halloween 2020 Day 18: 3D Halloween Erasers

I have always loved 3D erasers ever since I was kid. You didn't dare try to erase with them but they were fun to put on pencil tops. Unfortunately, the ones I had didn't stand the test of time and were either lost or tossed when they broke. In 2014, I posted about the Halloween Erasers that I picked up at the local Dollar General. I picked up these 3D Halloween Erasers from the local Dollar Tree. The five erasers include an orange pumpkin, a fat black bat, a purple skull, a green owl and a blue skull. They kind of cheated by having two skulls but at least they are different colors. They are also made in China under the Premiere label (the back shows that they were distributed by Greensbier International, Inc. aka Dollar Tree).

Women Wednesday: Wonder Woman Activity Fun Set

I picked up this Wonder Woman Activity Fun Set at the local Dollar Tree yesterday. The movie tie-in set includes a 3"x5" memo pad with 20 sheets, two pencils, a pencil sharpener and a eraser. The pencil sharpener features Diana with her sword while the memo pad features her crossing her bracelets. The blue eraser is winged shaped and features her logo in gold. The red pencil has her gold logo all over it while the blue pencil has four different images of Wonder Woman. All the images are comic art and the package has a copyright of 2018 by Peachtree Playthings

Countdown to Halloween 2014 Day 6: Halloween Erasers from Dollar General

The local Dollar General store was selling some Halloween erasers when they started stocking for the haunted holiday. I grabbed a package and noticed that it promised sixteen erasers but mine contained seventeen. They all have very creepy smiles.

The back of the package states that the erasers were made in China and distributed by Dolgencorp.

The purple erasers include Frankenstein's Monster, Jack O'Lantern, Count Dracula, Bat, Bowtie Ghost and Witch:

The green erasers includes Frankenstein's Monster, Jack O'Lantern, Bat, two Bowtie Ghosts and Witch:

The orange erasers includes Frankenstein's Monster, Jack O'Lantern, Bat, Bowtie Ghost and Witch:

I like to think that the purple Dracula eraser was a bonus.

Vending Machine Superman S Shield Pencil Top Eraser

I tried my luck at the local vending machine dedicated to pencil top erasers featuring superhero symbols from DC Comics. I picked up two more Batman pencil top erasers along with a Superman S shield pencil top eraser. I can't say that I'm really super impressed with this one because it actually comes in three parts: the thick red base with two holes, a super thin yellow layer and a thin red S cutout with two pegs. As you can tell from the pictures below, the two layers do not mesh well with the base (yes, I tried squeezing them together in hopes of a tighter seam but it didn't happen)

Vending Machine Batman Pencil Top Eraser

I was surprised to discover that the local Dillons grocery store had a vending machine offering pencil top erasers featuring character logos from DC Comics. I put in my fifty cents and managed to score a Batman pencil top eraser. It measures one inch long and a little over half an inch high. The black bat is raised a bit on the top. I would have tried for more but I didn't have any more quarters (I had plenty of pennies, dimes and nickles but I noticed that none of the vending machines took those anymore).

Here is the DC Comic pencil top erasers insert as it looked in the vending machine at Dillons (picture courtesy of Gumball):

The usual superheroes are there: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and The Flash. Unfortunately, Robin gets one instead of Wonder Woman or Aquaman.
