Thread: NEED Styrofoam skulls!

Tweet

Does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced ($7 - $8) life-sized Styrofoam skulls like these or very similar?



Haunters use them all year! It's hard to believe that they're so unavailable!

Perhaps it's a group buy opportunity for the vendor who has them.

Thanks!!!

(P.S. - Yes, I know I can make them but I'm asking for more than one person and we're not all in the same state)

Foam Skulls?

I f you find out let me know. I got mine with my "bag of bones" I bought. Did you try Amazon or a Google search?

I did. I found them at SpookShop but they were out of stock.

There are some plastic ones here.

And one on amazon here


But I need at least 6 or more so I was hoping to find a deal.

I've been trying to track down a supplier as to stock my webstore. But I've turned up little success in finding any at a reasonable price. It seems the going price for them is about $8 nowadays. Looks like they went up by a few bucks since last year. Sorry I couldn't help. If I find them at a good price, I'll let you know.

I know this doesn't do you any good right now.

Last fall, Dollarama (In Toronto, ON) had foam skulls for $2.00 each. I bought as many as I could carry.

The picture shows the skull. The one on the right is the original, the left is a modification of course.

There are nearly identical to the ones at Michaels, but one-third the price.


If you can wait, there may be bargains later in the year.

I'm working on an idea to mass produce skulls for myself. If you don't mind a latex shell filled with expanding foam. This may be in the near future.

How many we talking?

Walgreens has those hard plastic skulls that look pretty realistic for $6-7. Big Lots was selling them for $9! This is why you always have to double-check prices before buying things at discount stores! I know they say "You may as well buy it because you'll spend the difference in time and gas" but you just need to plan on stopping buy these places during a trip for something else and then do a search for it when you get home.

Anyway since it looks like it was made in a mold it should be pretty good to use to make a mold as well. I wish I had the capabilities to do that, but I've got enough projects going on these days without "learn professional quality mold making" thrown in there. I've always wondered why no one's used a bucky to make a higher quality blow mold blucky. Even if it just came as a bag of bones with a diagram for assembly it would be worth it if the savings was good compared to the expensive ones... all the cheap ones seem to be 4' or less.

I would love some if you are offering to sell them. Planning on making an archway over our front door that looks like skulls set in stone and need as many as possible but my attempts at making the foam ones were pathetic lol
So anything you have to offer im sure many people would love to purchase at decent costs...maybe a group buy thing?
