Dino Drac’s Halloween Funpack is here!
Okay guys, it’s finally time to show you the goods! Dino Drac’s 2025 HALLOWEEN FUNPACK is here. The TWELFTH annual, and always one of the year’s most anticipated boxes!
Good news for all subscribers: Your boxes were shipped between Thursday and Monday, and all of them are now on the way!
Subscriptions are currently closed, but if anyone who isn’t a subscriber wants one, I have a VERY LIMITED number left to sell on an individual basis. ($25 shipped! Zip to the bottom for info, while supplies last!)
There’s a massive amount of eerie nostalgia in this one, so let’s get to it!
Oh yeah, we’re doing this. You’ll each receive a fully-recreated 1998 McDonald’s Haunted Halloween Happy Meal, complete with case-fresh sealed toy!
Back in 1998, McDonald’s released a set of costumed McDonaldland figurines that doubled as Nerds candy dispensers. You’ll get one of those six toys, unused and still sealed in its original Happy Meal bag. But there’s more!
You’ll ALSO receive a mini box of Nerds candy, plus gummy fries and a gummy burger to really deliver the Happy Meal vibe. And on that note, everything will be packed into an adorable cardboard box, complete with handle, evoking the Happy Meal boxes of old!
The six possible figures include Ronald, Grimace, Birdie, the Hamburglar, the McBoo McNugget, and finally, Iam Hungry – the little-remembered ‘90s mascot who was… well, very hungry. You’ll get one of those six!
NOTE: Two of the figures from this set were potential items in a 2015 Funpack. I keep excellent records, so if you have been a subscriber since then with no interruptions, I will make sure you don’t get the same figure!
Next up, you’ll each get a sealed pack of 24 scratch-and-sniff Caramel Apple stickers, part of Trend Enterprises’ famous Retro Stinky Stickers collection!
Trend is the same company that made these in the ‘80s, and these are precise recreations of the originals. And they smell wonderful! Caramel apples just scream “autumn” to me, so these seemed like a perfect addition to the Halloween Funpack.
If you didn’t hear the sad news, Trend just this week closed its doors after many decades in business. They were a great company with an amazing team, and I’m thrilled to be able to keep their legacy alive by tossing some sweet-smelling stickers your way. Each pack is totally sealed and brand new!
You’ll also get a sealed Nightmare Before Christmas Chibi in Motion blind box, but specifically from its special TRICK-OR-TREAT SERIES, lest anyone think I’m moving December into October. No, these are all Halloween!
These blind boxes came out several years back. Each contains a teensy figure with wildly swaying arms that doubles as a clip-on ornament. Shown here are some of the possible figures. (There’s also a rare glow-in-the-dark Zero chaser, and I’ve already heard from one subscriber who got him!)
Then there’s a trio of super obscure Monstruos card packs, which I believe originated in Venezuela in the ‘80s. These were certainly never available in the States!
The idea was that you’d take these little cards and tape or glue them into a sticker album, Panini-style. There were many sets like this released back then, but Monstruos might be my favorite. Each pack contains a couple of thin cards featuring some truly gripping, ghoulish artwork.
I get that some of you won’t want to tear the packs open, but man, the art really deserves to be seen!
You know how there’s a mini-poster in every Funpack? Well, this month, you’re getting THREE! Yes, you will receive ALL THREE of these 5×7” cardstock mini-posters, featuring absolutely awesome artwork scanned from the box of some old no-name Halloween toy.
Genuinely some of the best mini-posters in Funpack history. Go ahead and order yourself three 5×7” frames, because there’s no way you won’t want to hang these babies on a wall. They’re just gorgeous.
Rounding things out, you’ll also get this month’s Funpack Newsletter, this month’s 2×2” sticker, and an exclusive essay that will never be reprinted on the site.
This month’s essay is about how I spent the 2025 Halloween season collecting Telco Motionettes, and slowly gave up every inch of shelf space to a gaggle of 24” animated monster figures.
And what the hell, I’ll even throw in a vintage ticket to Spooky World’s haunted hayride, from the mid ‘90s!
So yep, you’re getting all of the above for $25, and that price INCLUDES SHIPPING to anywhere in the United States. (United States orders only, please!)
If you’re already a subscriber, you’re all set, and your Funpack is already on the way!
Non-subscribers can purchase the Halloween Funpack by clicking the button below, while supplies last! (And they are VERY limited!)
All non-subscriber boxes will ship on Wednesday, October 22nd.
Thanks so much, everyone! This concludes the trio of Halloween-themed boxes for 2025, but there’s so much great stuff yet to come in November and beyond! This has been a top-quality year for the Funpacks, but trust me, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
