LEGO Halloween Minifigs: Tiny Toys, Terrifically Terrifying

LEGOS are great.  Part puzzle, part toy, they inspire creativity in kids of all ages.

The problem is:  they're expensive and they take up a lot of room if you're a collector and keep them built.  So as an adult (and I use the term loosely, ZING!) with not much time, and not much space to put into the various awesome sets out there, I was looking for something to collect, LEGO related, that tied into my Halloween obsession.
And thanks to Amazon and a lot of clever LEGO builders, I've found it.
MINIFIGS!

That's right, the little people and/or creatures from the sets... minus the sets.  They're cool.  They're tiny.  And, well, they're cute too.


What's fantastic is that many a LEGO fan has already customized various tiny figures into Halloween-related creatures of the night for you to collect and haunt your meatspace desktop or shelf.
You can find The Headless Horseman (complete with jack o' lantern), Vampire, Witch, Mummy even a good old fashioned Zombie (complete with chicken leg... because 'people' tastes like chicken).

I'll be frank:  they're not cheap.  You're certainly paying for that LEGO builder to assemble the pieces from different sets and build a complete figure for you.  BUT, you're not spending hundreds of dollars on LEGO sets just so you have enough bones for your Reaper Skeleton Horse.

Lest we not forget:  if you get tired of that witch and vampire you can always invest in a few extra heads for a few bucks and swap out their noggins and accoutrements to Frankenstein-together your own Demon Witch Mummy. 
Awwwww, your very own Demon Witch Mummy.
Your mother would be so proud.

Oh man, why did you have to share this?! LOL I am so going to spend waaay to much money on these things. I didn't realize they had LEGO figures like this. They sure have gotten a lot better since the ones I had as a kid.
