Our own Transformers Oddity collector alphie has picked up a new oddity from Toys R Us – a Transformers Animated themed Halloween lantern. The lantern cost $10.99 and is popping up at Toys R Us stores across the country.
The thought occurred to me as I loaded the batteries in the one that I bought for my kid this afternoon. Too bad I didn't find this thing during the blackout (Hurricane Ike's Ohio Valley windstorm) we had 2 weeks ago. Then, I could have lite my darkest several hours! Also, got the Optimus Prime costume for her as well (my 3 y.o. daughter loves Optimus Prime!)
I hope at least one kid who uses this during halloween dresses up as black arachnia. =D Along came a spider jokes I'm surprised haven't been said yet either.
Interesting. Looks like a cute little item. Not as bad as the candy bucket that is Optimus' head though. Poor kids putting candy where Prime's brains should be…

In brighet day and darkest night,
Let no evil escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, whoops, wrong Lantern's light!
