    Red Alert! Eight Inch Skeletons at Walmart Two Dollars

    Really good looking skeleton for a buck ninety eight. Rotator joint at shoulders and hips like a Star Wars figure with wired bendy limbs. Fairly possible and extremely affordable for those Skeleton Armies.

          I picked up a handful of these today. Any suggestions for getting them to stand since the ankles aren't articulated and the feet point straight down?

            I would try a hot water soak for the feet and reposition the feet flat while pliable. Or use boots. I haven’t done anything with them yet but some epoxy putty stuck in the boot and the foot in it should add enough weight to keep him upright. Not that Mego figures in general are great at standing up unaided in a lot of poses.

                I always hear about those Home Depot 7 inchers, but I've never found any, maybe these will have to do.

                  I need to dig thru some boxes. The Hone Depot skeleton I don’t remember it well articulated. The Target skeleton was about 6 inches and was bendy like this but without the hip and shoulder joints I think. And it was three bucks if I recall correctly. The best Halloween Decoration skeleton was the Kroger skeleton. Just about 7 inches with ball and socket joints throughout.
