I frequent a cool blog called Fantasy Toy Soldiers. The other day they had this post:

These aren't the previous Egyptian-ish skellies like many of us 54mm fantasy skirmish fans already have. 16 troops in 4 poses for $2 USD!
So off to Party City I went. They are great…and cheap! I called it quits at 5 bags. I am going to convert a good many of them for more variety.
Here is a UK source where I nabbed the pic from:

They are mass produced so I imagine you would find them in most full scale Halloween shops wherever you might be.
While there I scored myself one of the skeletal spiders you might have seen on the shelves:

This guy is about 9 inches wide from leg tip to leg tip. Perfect for a giant spider in 54mm.
I know what you are saying. Spiders don't have skeletons. Who cares!? It rocks.
They also have a scorpion which I would really like to find.

I got the spider for $5 USD at Party City. Target had it for $6. USD I still haven't see the scorpion on a shelf.
..and don't get me started on this skeletal giant piranha…
seen here on the awesome Bogleech.com down near the bottom:

Target is the only place I have seen it. I will be picking one up asap. The jaws are hinged! It will be perfect for my 54mm fantasy pirate games.
