Saw this guy at Toys'R'Us (Canada). He's a little light green for my tastes but a little wash to darken him up and he looked like he would fit in. Not sure if they are available in the US They have a few foam animals - spiders, dragons, sharks from the Animal Planet line which make nice additions in a display.

Thanks for posting! Seeing pictures on here always gets me excited for this year's offerings. Can't wait to see what comes up over the next few months

I'm pretty sure that the US stores have them, too. My fiance and I were at TRU on Monday, and whilst I was searching for Paw Patrol toys for our son's birthday, he was hiding around the corner, holding this, or something very much like this around the corner so I'd run into it when I turned around. Can't take that guy anywhere! They do carry the other animals that you've mentioned. Our son begged me for the shark last time we went!

For anyone doing a carnevil theme party, saw this on PIER ONE's website, a Ferris Wheel cupcake server. Might be worth watching for sales to save some $s on it.

This isn't literally Halloween, but heads up to those of you looking for "bulk" numbers of short shepherd's hooks: Dollar Tree has plain ones this year! (and maybe they have in the past, but I've never caught them)
I posted a photo in the What Did You Buy Today thread, but I'll post it here, too.
These would be great for hanging lanterns, severed heads, using as stanchions for hanging lightweight chains to close off an area, propping up a prop, etc.

Cool! I'll be on the look out. I'd love to have one of them. Not sure how I'd use it. I do have some animated pterodactyl "toys" that I was going to put in a "nest" and guess the t-rex skull could be placed somewhere near it. Might make dino tracks as part of the scene. Sort of a Lost World Jungle theme. Would be cool if I had one of those low rumbling speaker set ups. Although I bet you could rig water in containers of some sort and vibrate them some how when you had a soundtrack of giant footsteps playing in the background...a la Jurassic Park pond water. Thinking out loud here. Of course now I'm thinking about those inflatable T-Rex costumes like Hilda's husband had....How to halloween all of it up though?
These guys would also be great if you were doing a Night at the Museum party. Hope when you went back they still had them.

Lol That was great KissingCoffins!
I had errands to run and stopped by 2 Ross' but nothing in either store yet. Will be on Dino Hunt now. The skull really does look terrifying with those teeth.

Great idea Kenneth.
Hmm, I'm going to check out a different store today at lunch but am having this bad feeling in the back of my head saying I think the dino head might have already been shipped out in my area (SFBay) back at end of February. I posted a photo of a gator head I bought back then under the ROSS thread and I have this nagging feeling having seen the photo of T-Rex that it might have been on the shelf too. The gator head fit perfectly for my pirate and swamp themes so I zero'd in on it but now I'm thinking the dino head was there on the shelf too. If so, then not sure they'll reappear here. Both of my stores had a lots of garden statues on the shelves BTW. So good time for people to look for these things there. Check gardening and the vase/figurine section. I found my gator skull with the vases. http://www.halloweenforum.com/general-halloween/146436-2016-ross-dress-less.html
*If anyone in the SFBay area sees them, can you shout out a heads up for me? I'm going to keep stopping in to check but it will help knowing if it's around here. Thanks.
I have few more things from yesterday's visit to post photos of and will do so under the ROSS thread later today.

Thanks Kissing Coffins! Managed to find a set of T-Rex skulls at the 4th ROSS I went to between yesterday and today. Felt they were totally worth the running around. Love the teeth on them and boy they are heavy. Posted photos of my other finds there under the Ross shopping thread. Lots of Ross stores nationwide....

GoS, I didn't see a Marshalls, etc. thread yet. So I'll put this here.
Picked this big glass skull up at Marshalls for $9.99. I honestly don't know how I will use it, but I could not pass it up.
It's pretty large and really heavy. The bottom looks like it has a twist on rib, like a jar. Very odd.

So glad you found the skulls GoS! My hubby was impressed with the skull we love dinosaurs and I can't pass up anything Jurassic Park or dino related for my son
He just recently got a triceratops skeleton plush and an Indo Rex Chia Pet for his birthday.

I'm sorry if someone already posted these. Booswife gave me the heads up about some great things in Hobby Lobby. I wanted a big standing birdcage.
We do not have a HL close to us. So my dear husband went on a search for me when he traveled for work, and surprised me for our anniversary! He scored one down in Virginia.
He bought a giant bouquet (w/o the planter, that is from Dollar General only $8) of cattails for my bayou.

He grabbed me one of each of funky glassware for my laboratory.

And I am in LOVE with this birdcage!! Going to be a bat cage soon. LOL
It is super heavy!!
