Thanks too for posting those links, both to the site with all the pictures and descriptions of the Boney Bunch collection, also to the Yankee Candle videos. Watching them has become an annual tradition!
I hope you don't mind Kitty, but I thought I'd add a few more helpful links, particularly for the new collectors. Here's a link to the Boney Bunch Love site that many of us here follow too...
In addition to display ideas, it also includes scans of the Yankee Candle Halloween catalogs.
In the photo area, there are "sticker sheets", one for each year of the collection, that I find useful as a quick reference when designing table top displays using the Boney Bunch...
I wish they would go back and revisit the pirate theme. If they made a large pirate ship, I would gladly put it next to my other pirate. Also, as much as I love the big boneys, I hope they have some minis (or at least small ones) to mix in with them this year, I'm running out of display room.
I'd like some pirates! And swamp people. I don't collect every single piece, just the ones that catch my attention. I love my Pet Cemetery from last year!
I asked the workers at my YK yesterday about this. Wife and I were using our coupons to replenish our candle stock. They never heard anything either and also said August is planned as usual.
I prefer not to say but she's been a great source of info for years at YC
Wish I could say different, but just what I heard, been on this board for a few years now, so I wouldn't just say something to say something. Here's hoping it's not true!!
I would be sad to see them go, especially without them warning us that it's the 'farewell' year. This has been rumored before though so let's keep our fingers crossed!
I almost wouldn't be surprised though, considering how mishandled last year was, and the fact that over half of the pieces were still around when we hit the post-Christmas semi-annual sale, and five are still on the site. Prior to last year the only piece that ever made it to clearance was Duffer McBone, and maybe a couple of the re-releases (headless farmer, anyone?) So I'm not sure if they just massively over-produced the pieces last year, or if interest in our beloved Bonies is starting to wane, at least for the casual fans of the collection.
Re-releases of Incredible Mr. Bones and the Boney sample pieces that were not in production would be a great farewell.
YC has always misled us so we will just have to wait until Saturday, Auguest 1, 2015.
She said that the Boney Bunch are back, Ghostly Treats will return as a candle, and there will be a new "cat" line of Halloween figures. They are not like the black cat line that was released a couple years ago. These are different and more like the pieces were before the Boney Bunch. That's all I have for now. Trust me, I'll keep sleuthing.
Great job sleuthing, Haddonfield! I am excited about all of the above. I missed out on the ghostly treat jar last year and was hoping it would return. As for, the cat pieces, they would look great with the witches.
i don't think that a a surplus of pieces necessarily indicates them falling out of favor. It may simply mean that the new company over estimated how many would sell.
I cannot imagine that Yankee would discontinue what is surely their biggest selling line year after year. That just does not make good business sense.
Hello again everyone! Last weekend I stopped by one of my local YC stores and talked to one of my trusted salespersons. She said she has already seen some information about this year's Halloween line. She said that the Boney Bunch are back, Ghostly Treats will return as a candle, and there will be a new "cat" line of Halloween figures. They are not like the black cat line that was released a couple years ago. These are different and more like the pieces were before the Boney Bunch. That's all I have for now. Trust me, I'll keep sleuthing.
YES. I was just coming to post confirmation that YC is not canceling the Halloween! LOL. I haven't seen anything about cats, but there are some other fun things in the works. It's still early in the process, but there is info floating around for a few Boney pieces and it looks like those witch boots are coming back again this year! No pics of anything yet. So don't knock yourselves out trying to find anything on the internet yet.
Hello everyone! Just stopping by to say hi and check for any news on our favorite Boney Bunch thread. Can't wait to see what the new line will bring and am excited to see the first pictures. I'm hoping YC handles the Boney launch better this year. Releasing in two waves, with limited availability on the grand opening seemed to have hurt their sales last year and left them with a lot of leftover stock after the season was over. If they would go back to one big launch in August with enough inventory for everyone, it seemed like that's what worked best in prior years. Also, the lack of coupons killed a lot of launch day sales, according to my store manager. Let's hope they'll revise their strategy this year, and bring back some of the fun and build-up (videos!) of their more successful launches. Can't wait for the fun to begin!
Hello, this is my first day on the forum and I already see some familiar faces from another room. I will post here what I did there. Maybe someone can help me
was wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get a complete list of every Halloween candle Yankee ever put out. It would include the scent and label. I have been searching for some time now and can not find one. I'm working on a making a spreadsheet of what i have. I have been collecting Yankee Halloween candles for 5 years now. I wold like to know what I'm missing. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. I recently added a black band Halloween candle to my collection. Now I need to know what else I'm missing.I posted this picture in the other forum, I will post it here if its ok. Please fele free to send or forward it to anyone you think might be able to help. I really appreciate it. Ive been working alone for years building my collection. It feels good not feel isolated and always on the hunt for a candle LOL
Thank you :
Your collection is very impressive!
I have 2008- 2014 YC Halloween & fall catalogs have show the candles & list in the back.
I have a very small collection of YC Boney Bunch jar candles. I do not have this one & am not sure of the date- 2010 or 2011.

To my knowledge, there are no fakes. However, there are pieces that were reissued in following years, some of which were not up to par with their predecessors (ie 08 wedding couple). If you are able to see the pieces in person before buying, I would recommend checking for any chips, cracks, or other signs of repair. Also, the flocking (fuzzy coating used on some pieces) is prone to scraping off. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy hunting!
