Thread: Boney Bunch 2011

Tweet

Hi Guys! Is anyone else here a fan of Yankee Candle's "Boney Bunch" line?
I know, Yankee Candle, right? Flower scented frogs and bunnies, etc.
But the Boney Bunch is a Halloween themed candle holder line that they have carried in late summer for the last 3 years or so. IMHO, it is really awesome. If you aren't familiar with it, look at ebay, Amazon, etc. The older pieces are really pricey on ebay- $150- $200 for a candleholder from 2008.
Anyway, on Facebook yesterday, Yankee Candle confirmed that they will have a Boney Bunch line in 2011! They will have previews in August! I am so excited!
The rumor is that this years the Skeleton Bride and Groom will have an adorable Skeleton Baby! Also, if you like this stuff and want to pick up some pieces, get them quick. They sell out every year and then are too much on ebay!
Here is a link to a collector's page on Flickr. I realize alot of ppl may not like collecting, but if you do these photos are great! http://www.flickr.com/photos/5808784...th/5456073426/

I LOVE the Boney Bunch!!! We try and get a few pieces every year. You're absolutely right though, if you see something from the collection that you're interested in you need to act quick. It's amazing to me how quickly it sells out. I've missed out on a few pieces that I wanted because I decided to wait to get them.

Can't wait to see the new line in August!!!

Me too! I had heard online that 2010 was the last year for them, and I was sad.
I can't wait either! I have to order online b/c we have no Yankee Candle stores around here, so I will be lying in wait in cyberspace! Cheers!

wow spending $150 -200 to hold a candle up you think it be made out of gold or somthing , they are interesting but for that price outragious cant see myself buing any but if you collect things.. dont see how these got to be so expensive are they a limited production?

The Boneys from Yankee Candle are reasonably priced- I think the most expensive one I bought was 24.99$. The aren't "limited" or numbered or anything, but once they run out they run out.
They are handpainted and really cute. I know the really popular ones get sold out very quickly online.
I know, right? I would never spend $200 on a candleholder, but obviously people are since they are on ebay at that price.

I managed to snag the headless horseman and the skeleton hands jar holder at the Mall last year. They'd sold out online in like 2 days so I almost fainted when I saw them in person! I got the last set of the skeleton hands they had & was stalked until I left - this lady was waiting for me to put it down. Heck no! They had lots of the serving bowls - it's pretty cool, too.
Normally I don't bother with fighting for stuff like this. But since they were right there......I got them!

I was just looking thru the album that hallow posted & I love the multi-head & multi arms guys from 2009. Wish I would have found them then!

I have seen them and debated over them big time. SO my lost.

Im not a fan of them but I know alot of members collect them. I checked the releases out last yer but passed.

I passed on the 3 band members...I like the more traditional headless horseman candle holder.
I have looked at the older Boney Bunch, and I agree that last year didn't look as awesome as prior years...but they still had some good pieces. I got the 3 wine bottles off ebay and in person they are really cool.
It's sorta hard to find really good quality indoor Halloween items from a national retailer. It's usually not so great quality or sold in smaller stores. That's why I get so excited to see these.
I keep one out year round, and when the lights are out...and a candle is flickering in the holder= instant Halloween for me!
Cheers All!

Thankfully we have a Yankee Candle about 10 minutes from home. As far as pricing goes, I think they are very reasonbly priced. It's only when they sell out and people start posting them on e-bay that it gets out of control.
