100 days!!! Skeleton comparison revisited

 Last year for the Countdown to Halloween challenge, I did a side-by-side comparison of the Garden Ridge $50 skeleton and the Walgreen's $30 model.  At the time, I was leaning in favor of the Walgreen's skelly.

Then this past weekend, I went back to Garden Ridge since I knew they were getting fall things in. I noticed they must have gotten a new supplier for the skeletons!  But the shoulder & hip joints have this considerably sturdier stirrup-looking attachment and the seams on the bones were not split.

I am wanting to get another skelly this year - I think I may fork out the extra $20 and get the G.R. model!  And of course I'd do an updated comparison of all 3.



I also couldn't pass up another blowmold!  Frankie was actually too tall to stand on the back seat of my car and had to recline with his feet in my back.   I know, smart people would have tossed him in the trunk or laid him down on the seat.  But where is the fun in that???
