Thread: source for skeletons?

Tweet

I want to add some skeletons to my display but due to my budget I can't spend alot of money. I checked out Monster guts and the prices are great but the shipping almost doubles the cost. I want to try my hand at corpsifying a couple. Anyone have a good source? Thanks in advance.

What kind of skeleton are you looking for? blucky type or bucky type?

Here is a decent link.

How to Corpsify your Bucky Skeleton

If you have a big Lots in your area, you can get blucky's pretty cheap.

If you are talking about the blow-mold (blucky) skeletons, check your local Big Lots. Most locations have halloween merchandise out now. This years price is $14.
If you want the more realistic looking (bucky) skeleton, this is where I've gotten most of mine. Human Skulls and Bones, Skeleton Props

Thanks everyone..I want to get sme decent priced Bluckys to corpsify, so far Oriental trading looks the cheapest, I don't have a big lots close by.

bonemanB told me about this one,,its the cheapest ive found so far.. Skeleton Props - G.I.D. Blow Mold Skeleton (Blucky) - Halloween Prop Building Supplies For The Home Haunter - Monster Guts - Cheap Corpse Altenatives

HERE is a thread by aSmarterU about his newspaper skeleton made with paper, duct tape, and tissue mache. It takes a little time, but it came out fantastic. I'm gonna' try one this week.

doh shipping costs !!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I'm sorry about that. It's out of my control on the shipping costs for the Bluckies. They're so bulky (that's our nickname for them here...bulkies), that is what we get hit for shipping them. It's not even that they weigh much, it's just their size. In fact, if they were any bigger the shipping companies would hit us with oversize charges if we shipped more than two at a time b/c they would exceed the 84" limit. But we don't pass that cost onto customers.
