#79: LEGO Monster Fighters - 30201 Ghost Polybag

Halloween is coming! As with any self respecting holiday, Target has impulse toys in its holiday season. There's a truly bizarre Halloween themed Batman figure, but so far all I've picked up is this Monster Fighters ghost. There's a grandfather clock, but I'm all about getting the ghost minifig without coughing up for one of the larger sets. I had at least one ghost as a kid, and I think it was included with one of the castles. Since getting back into LEGO minifigures, I've been hoping they would release a ghost in one of the blind bagged assortments, but that hasn't happened, and for a dollar more, I get a clock too. The ghost minifig used to have a full LEGO body underneath the sheet, but this version has a block instead of legs, allowing for the ball and chain accessory to be attached. I think that's a cool touch. (Edit: It appears that LEGO ghosts didn't have legs under the sheet until 1997, after which I had stopped collecting. I originally had the ghost from the King's Mountain Fortress set, which did have a block instead of legs.)

Also, it glows in the dark! Alas, this is the only glow in the dark toy in my collection.
