Best price and quality for mid size Skellys is $9 from The Warehouse.
It says 90cm, its actually 86cm with feet flat, it is reasonable sturdy and the plastic is a lot stiffer than other medium skellys, hopefully this means more UV stable, but definately increase project possibility's.
They have this years Ghosty Govett stamp of approval.
I will be checking out other products as I need them for projects.

🧙 👻 🎃 good morning Central Taranaki, Wondering what goes on??? Stratford Halloween is a trick or treat trail on Halloween, in Stratford & Eltham. Houses and business that want to be on the list can start to pm the page with address on Monday 15th September (if you message earlier we may not reply till the 15th), please have them in 2 days before Halloween, as we are volunteers and are busy setting up our own homes. The list gets posted the night before but please keep an eye on the post as changes and update may be made. If you run out of candy before the trail ends you may wish to comment on the list post or put a sign by your letterbox saying so. you don’t have to go all out on decorating the tamariki’s are just happy for a lolly🍬🦇 👹 🎃

This years trail will be fri 31’st between 5.30pm and 7pm and we will encourage all participants to start at a random place on the map so we aren’t inundated all at once 👻

Why a list you may ask 😀 this is because we understand not everyone enjoys halloweeen and that’s ok! Also not everyone wants random children disturbing their evening which is also ok! Also it’s not nice for the tamariki when they knock on a door and get yelled at , they need a fun evening with kind neighbours 🥰

So it’s a win win no visitors for those who don’t want them and no grumps for the kiddies!
Happy Halloween have fun be safe, bring your community spirit and manners!! 🤡👽🦴🧌🕷
