[Heroween] Skeletons


Wow, what is up with this German toy? I think it's a mold to freeze ice around a yeti skeleton. I don't entirely understand how it works - what do the little stick-doohickeys at the bottom do? Pry out the ice-yeti from the mold?

[Heroween] Frankenstein & Batman vs. Yeti

Doc Frankenstein teamed up with Batman to fight yetis in the comic, Batman and Robin #31 (2014)!

The two are looking for Ra's Al Ghul in the Himalayas. They get attacked by yetis, but Batman figures out the Non-Malicious Monsters are just protecting their territory and he makes peace with them. In yet another example of the (pretty played-out) Heel-Face Turn trope, the yeti help them fight Ra's.



[Heroween] Frankie Stein

The 1980s humor kids comic Frankie Stein had yetis in a few of its holiday specials.

In #13: Frankie meets a Yeti and his family but Professor Cube destroys their home, so they end up living with him.

And in #18:some filmmakers are trying to make an Abominable Snowman movie.
