Yes, they are Telco Motion-ettes. I guess they are really only vintage in the sense that they are discontinued. They debuted around 1987 and continued to around the mid-90s. So, I guess they're probably most familiar with my generation (kids of the 90s). My aunt had the Dracula figure and I used to sit and watch him for hours (thanks ADHD!).Andybev01 wrote:I don't recognize those, are they the animated ones you referred to in your newbie post?

All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Re: Vintage Halloween Decor
Speaking of those flickering candle light bulbs, I would love to put one of those in my front porch light for Halloween.

I would love to buy a couple of black lanterns on the porch for all year round b/c I love to sit outside every night.
