With the greater interest in Yuletide figurines, it was only a matter of time for Halloween. The "villaging" hobby has spread to the popular Autumn celebration. Along with villages complete with vampire castles and haunted houses, there are figures of everything from trick-or-treaters to classic hobgoblins.
The figures shown here are a few that we liked enough to buy. The smaller figures were purchased for making a "Halloween Express" for our O27 railroad. The larger ones just looked so good we had to have them.
These assorted figures (except for grimacing pumpkins directly in front of Vampire) were called a "Halloween Medley." The standing figures are about an inch tall. Gold cords are for hanging these ornaments. |

This set was sold as "Halloween Ornaments." These are slightly smaller than the Medley figures. The figures here are the standing figures from the set. |
