The months leading up to Halloween are a great time for retailers to beef up their inventory. There are all kinds of companies that make horror-themed gaming baubles and trinkets to tempt customers. However, retailers generally don’t have infinite amounts of money to add these items to inventory. Never fear! The ICv2 staff has a few suggestions for newer items to stock this Halloween:
Pathfinder: Phunny Plush – Gourd Leshy. This WizKids October release hits the coffin nail a little too directly on the head for the Halloween season, albeit in an indirect manner. The Gourd Leshy is one of Pathfinder’s various nature spirits. But, the fact of the matter is that even if customers had no idea what a Gourd Leshy was, they would still buy this plush because it looks like a cute little pumpkin guy (see “‘Phunny Plush’ Toys“). These little plush toys would make a fine impulse buy for the season.
Halloween Advent Dice Calendar. FanRoll is aiming right for the heart of every dice fan who like a scary surprise around Halloween. Forget Christmas advent calendars, it’s time to go right for a calendar that hands out little trinkets as its owner counts down to Halloween. The coffin-shaped calendar features witch hat, bat, and jack-o-lantern inclusion dice (see “‘Halloween Advent Dice Calendar’“), and will retail for $74.99.
Dragon Shield Sleeves: Brushed Art – Halloween 2024. Arcane Tinmen makes selling sleeves for the Halloween season kind of a “layup” every year. On an annual basis, they offer up new brushed art sleeves (see “‘Halloween 2024’ Sleeves“) for all the TCG players. This year’s offering has a Queen of the Undead Dragons theme to it, and should sell well.
Mystery Loot: Trick or Treat 3. Foam Brain Games offers some really fantastic dice and dice accessories mystery packs. One of these types of mystery packs revolves around Halloween, Mystery Loot: Trick or Treat 3. These packs retail for $18.00 and come with a random spooky metal D20 and an enamel pin.
