These skeletal creatures were found in the Halloween section of Walmart. They are $4.98 each.

They have screw holes all along one side, like Chap Mei and other lower value toylines so I photographed their good sides ;)

The Gryffin and Velociraptor feature swivel heads and hinged jaws. The Triceratops only has the hinged jaw (this is the least impressive of the 3 due to not having any form of visible neck, looks like a turtle pulling its head in :( ). All 3 feature bendy tails (rubber with a wire running through it).

They are decently sized as seen in the images below with a 4" "Fortnite" figure to show their scale.

Found this Bigfoot at Hobby Lobby in the section with plastic dinosaurs. Scales pretty well. They had a Yeti too that wasn't just a repaint, but a different sculpt, though I didn't care for it.

You are right, that doesn't look bad at all.

These skeletal creatures from Family Dollar are a bit lower in quality than the ones from Walmart, but for $3 each they are great!

The fish has a hinged jaw and the dragon has swivel head and wings in addition to the hinged jaw. My favorite thing about these are that the dragon's tail is made from the same hard plastic as the rest of the figure instead of the bendy wired rubber of the Walmart ones. .

Hilariously, the dragons use the goat skull from the same company's skull bag from last year instead of the usual dragon skull. When I bought a ton of the skull bags last year, I did so because with the ears removed, the goat skulls look like dragon skulls. I guess the company thought they were close enough as well LOL

Scored these cool "Party Shot Glass Rings" at Dollar Tree.

The grey rings are removeable and I think the top pieces will make for interesting cargo crates once painted up. I my go back and get a few more sets.

"Boneless Super Street Sk8prk" Review For Customizers:

The fences are scaled well, but 4 out of the 12 in the box have sculpted "Boneless" logos that will need to be covered with a sign or cut out for damaged fences before they can really be useful. The fence height is pretty good against a 4" "Fortnite" figure. The smallest closed shape that you can make is a pentagon due to the shape of the fence stands.

The center obstacle is a decent size but has a woodgrain pattern that will need to be sanded before it can be used for most dioramas.

The large yellow standing bowl is the hardest piece to find usage for, but I am sure I will figure something out.

The graffiti stickers are good for use in urban dioramas and will be going into my Swap Shop as they are written in English and my "Universe" is based on the "Star Wars" Universe so I have no use for them.

For $5.99, these were a great fodder purchase.

That is certainly a possibility.

Just a thought. The fences look good though. I'll have to think about how I might use them.

Saw this cool Halloween 8" or 9" decoration at Michael's. Would make for a great fantasy diorama element. It is the same on both sides. I believe it was $19.99.
