My fourth and probably final Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC287, which was the Demogorgon pencil topper aka pencil accessory. You could probably also put on your straw and a tiny rubber band is also included. This might be the only Demogorgon toy I will ever get.
I'm not sure why there is a rectrangle hole in the back of this Demogorgon head:
My third Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC265, which is Max Mayfield with headphones. She is wearing a brown hoodie, blue pants and brown footwear with blue bottoms. In her left hand, she is holding a Walkman. Her ginger hair has two braids.
My second Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC286, which is Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley captured. The figurines are tied together and wearing their Scoops Ahoy sailor-style uniforms. It's actually a pencil accessory but you can probably also put it on a straw.
The Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy eggs have finally hit the local Dillons store in Kansas. I picked up four of them last Saturday morning.
Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy VC273 is Lucas in his basketball uniform. Side A of the insert shows how to assemble the toy.
Side B of the insert showcases several of the hanging figurines plus a QR code that leads you to the Upside Down game (No, I haven't played it yet).
The Lucas Sinclair figurine features him in his white with green trim basketball uniform and white shoes. He is holding a basketball and there is an "8" on the back of his jersey. Lucas stands about 1 1/2" tall. The picture doesn't do him justice but he's pretty cool for a sports figurine.
Today is my sixty-first birthday and I would love to celebrate it with this cool Batman Forever Heart Tin of Chocolates at Amazon. Unfortunately, there are only ten pieces of candy and I won't be sharing. You'll just have to get your own and you get to keep the heart-shaped tin too.

I broke down and got the Grinch Meal from McDonald's last week to celebrate How the Grinch Stole Christmas book and animated tv special. I got the green socks with the Grinch while my sister got the blue ones with Max. I thought the pickle shaker fries were pretty good, but my sister didn't use the seasoning since she's not a big pickle fan. She won't even let me hide a pickle on the Christmas tree.
The green Grinch socks both has "The Grinch was here - Grinch" printed on the bottom. There are small headshots of Cindy Lou and Max the dog along with a big headshot of the Grinch. There is also a red Christmas ornament with the famous McDonald's Golden Arches logo. I don't plan on wearing them and there is nothing that says what size they are.
Sorry, that I didn't get any pictures of the Big Mac, French fries and pickle seasoning but I couldn't wait and had to eat them.
Kellogg's added a new cereal based on the Wednesday tv series this year. The Enid Howlin' Confetti Cake cereal is actually pretty good. The front of the box features a great picture of Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, who is a werewolf. The back of the box has facts and find puzzles. The side of the box has more fun facts.
This year's Monster Cereals celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Jim Henson's Company by having the trio looking like Muppets. Our local Walmart's actually had some family size boxes stocked in early September then received a whole pallet of them in early October. I didn't grab any of the early ones because it was just too soon for me. I did grab all three Monster Cereals, but I have only finished Count Chocula and Franken Berry. I'm about halfway through Boo Berry. The back of the boxes features various Muppet monsters and can be connected together to make one large piece.
I guess I should post about the Fanta Halloween 2025 collection since I posted the Pineapple Fanta can featuring Michael Myers yesterday. I found a bottle of the Chucky Fruit Punch Fanta at the beginning of the month at the local Dillons but no local stores had the cans. Dillons currently has the Freddy Fazbear Orange Fanta (I didn't see the zero sugar version). I have yet to watch the Five Nights at Freddy's movie or play the video game, so I'm not really interested in getting the Orange Fanta. I haven't seen any of the Black Phone movies, so I have no desire to get the Grabber Strawberry Fanta either.
Update: Somehow this post's title got deleted. It's fixed now.
I picked up a twelve pack of Pineapple Fanta cans featuring Michael Myers at the local Dillons store earlier this month. We got it because my sister is a big fan of the Halloween movies. I think this is the first time I tried Pineapple Fanta and found it okay tasting.
I picked up a box of Lucky Charms featuring Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman a week ago at the local Walmart's. This is another General Mills cereal promoting the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie. While I like the jumbo rainbows in the cereal, I'm not crazy about the artwork since Sue has no mouth or nose.
The back of the Lucky Charms box has the entire Fantastic Four, which includes Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and Ben Grimm aka the Thing. Yes, the FantastiCar is also shown. There is also a hidden message and a decorder. It's a different message than the one found on the Honey Nut Cheerios Featuring Human Torch box.
The other two General Mills cereal boxes promoting the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie are Cinnamon Toast Crunch featuring Mister Fantastic and Reese's Puffs featuring the Thing. I won't be getting those boxes because I'm not a fan of those cereals and I don't want to be stuck eating them.
I actually found a box of the Blue Raspberry PopTarts promoting the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie a few weeks ago at the local Walmart's. I ate them last week and found the flavor is much stronger and sweeter than the Frosted Strawberry PopTarts. The front of the box features the Fantastic Four that includes Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic, Ben Grimm aka the Thing and Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman.
The back of the box features five of the eight different images on the PopTarts. I finally got one with the Invisible Woman on it. Unfortunately, the images were still blurry.
Warning: You may have problems with the blue dye used in the Blue Raspberry PopTarts several hours later (if you know what I mean, then you know). I had problems after the first two but not with the rest of the package.
General Mills promoted Fantastic Four: First Steps with several of their cereals. The Honey Nut Cheerios box has Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch. The artwork is a retro design but I would rather have images from the Marvel movie.
The back features the entire Fantastic Four that includes the Invisible Woman, the Thing, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch. The FantastiCar is shown but no sign of H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot. There is also a hidden message with a decoder.
I actually found a floor display of Fantastic Four: First Steps Pop-Tarts at the local Dillons last Saturday. I picked up a box of eight frosted strawberry because I wanted to try that first. The front of the box features artwork of the Fantastic Four based on the movie along with a Pop-Tart featuring the group's logo.
The back of the box features five Pop-Tarts with different art that is supposed to be on them. There are supposed to be eight different designs, but I only found four in this box: H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot (twice), Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch (twice), Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic (twice) and Ben Grimm aka the Thing (twice). I would have loved finding a Pop-Tart with Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman on it.
The top flap of the box shows two Pop-Tarts with artwork. It also states that images were made with food coloring.
I was really disappointed with the images and the taste. Every Pop-Tart that I had featured blurry images. The strawberry flavor was very faint probably because the layer was so thin. I might try the blue raspberry ones just to see if I can get a Pop-Tart with the Invisible Woman on it. The other flavors are frosted s'mores and brown sugar cinnamon.
Did you know that if you buy a box of Milk & Bone dog treats that you can get a free comic book featuring Superman and Krypto? The small print calls it Milk & Bone Custom Comic (July 2025) but the cover suggests Milk & Bone Presents Superman: A Friendship Unleashed #1 (sounds better right?). Of course, it's basically a movie tie-in. Shame I don't have a dog anymore so the neighbor's dog will get them.
Cool ad for the Milk & Bone box featuring Krypto:
You know that it had to happen for I just couldn't help myself. I got another Halloween Happy Meal from McDonald's a few nights ago and got this White Boo Bucket. This is another fuzzy monster but doesn't have the horns that the blue one has. The first face looks kind of sad or low on energy.
The second face looks a lot happier.
The third face looks pretty shocked that someone is reaching in for treats.
The front of the insert has various stickers including spider, ghost, pumpkin, demon wings and mittens.The back of the insert features another black and white image that you can color plus a how many can you find game.
