I was in Garden Ridge yesterday and went to the Halloween section, I found the coolest skeleton!!! I have been looking for a Bucky but didn't want to pay full price. Well Garden Ridge has an inbetween model. The skeleton comes in regular white and a cool black antique decayed color. I bought one of each.
The material is kind of like a Blow mold Blucky. But it seems a tad stronger?
But unlike a blucky it is jointed with screws and pins like a BUCKY. It is 5 feet tall and the face and hands are very Buckyish not like the Blow mold cheesy Blucky. Overall I am impressed with the new skeleton. Here are pics of my 2 and a half year old daughter right out of the tub with him LOL. They are $49 a piece and worth EVERY PENNY

those skeletons are awesome for the money. I got one of the white ones last year. I removed his head and mounted one of my Boris skulls on there. I plan on getting at least one more this year. That is a good price. They are going for a bit more online.

It would seem Garden Ridge stores are sparce across our nation -- and they don't have any online ordering practices. That's really too bad. Those skellies are gorgeous.

Are they as light weight as a blucky and are the bones hollow and crushable like one too?

They are fairly light, but no, this will not crush like a Blucky. Much more rigid. I stepped on mine a few times last year by accident. LOL

Totally love it! Does anyone know if they sell those anywhere else besides Garden Ridge? We don't have any where I live.
