VAMPLETS are back!

I’m a sucker for things cute and horrific. In an earlier article I mentioned my fondness for botanical oddities that lend themselves to the creepy side, like Zombie Cucumbers and Skeleton Flowers. But spooky plants have got nothing on Horror-themed stuffed animals and cartoon characters. The latest addition to my personal collection, which sits and stares at me as I type on my computer, is a Beanie Baby Grim Reaper. This should give you an idea of what I’m talking about. (I also own a full collection of the Universal Monsters stuffed dolls. It took me a lot of quarters and a lot of wrangling with those dropping-claw games you find in the fronts of Walmarts, but I got ‘em all.)
It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that I was excited to learnemail (somebody out there in cyberspace knows my tastes pretty well, which is a little disconcerting if I allow myself to stop and think about it), that the Vamplets, which are produced in limited quantities, are back in stock. They’re a little pricey for my preferences, as collectibles tend to be, but they ARE pretty damn cute. And a Vamplet or four WOULD look pretty cool sitting on my desk. It’s getting kinda crowded on there, though.
