Around the beginning of October each year, I usually do a Halloween post — and that usually means costumes. Because cosplayers are an important part of the anime community, and this is the time of the year where it’s easiest to show off those outfits as well as give more people an excuse to dress up.
But sometimes, you can’t get all decked out. Maybe you have to work. Maybe a costume will get in the way of driving your trick-or-treaters around. Maybe there aren’t a lot of outfit options for you or you don’t have time to shop for one.
But you know what you can do? Show a little Halloween spirit anyway. No matter if you want to decorate your desk at the office, your kitchen window, or just want to give a Halloween present to someone special, here are some anime Halloween-related goodies. Prices listed are at MSRP, but keep an eye for coupons to save some money!
Boo 6″ Plush – $9.99 at Nintendo
Ghosts are an essential part of Halloween, and every Mario player is familiar with these specters that haunt stages. You can find other Boo plush if you want to go bigger (like this one), but at 6 inches, this size can easily be displayed or played with.
