OK, this is a rather fun and goofy review to celebrate Halloween! I often like to do reviews of obscure or unusual figures, or neat figures of odd or unfamiliar brands. Today I bring you the review of a centipede, gen. sp. by Target Brands, as part of their Hyde and Eek! Boutique line of Halloween décor. In 2017 I was visiting a friend in Minnesota for her annual Halloween party and when I walked into her house, this is the first thing I noticed! She took me to Target to get another, but they were out, so she gave me one of the two she had bought earlier!
The figure is LARGE, measuring 52 cm, not including appendages. It is articulated (see the third image) and can be manipulated to some degree. It is not super accurate from a scientific standpoint, especially given its size, but it’s a fun figure nonetheless.
This is a novelty toy, and not sure how likely it would be to acquire at this point, but it makes great October décor in your house!

I got this one this past month at Party City here in the U.S. The thought occurred to me to review it so I’m happy to see that you had the same idea. Needless to say, I DID NOT pack it away with the rest of the Halloween decor, it is part of the permanent home decor now.
Nice!!!! I have a feeling you and I use the same home decorator 😉
