First up, Geek Mom got her hands on the Hallmark 2011 holiday sneak peeks, a catalog of upcoming holiday items of note for collectors. I do love this year’s Back to the Future DeLorean, and it’s hard to beat the singing Ecto from previous years, but the Mr. Stay Puft ornament is going to be THE Christmas wish boutique item this year.
The bad news? This little fella doesn’t come out until 2012! So obviously, no details on price yet.

But don’t fret – here’s something you can get at Hallmark stores RIGHT NOW! A new Ghostbusters Halloween card – big thanks to Brian for sending in the pictures. I’m trying to get more details – it looks like it plays music, which would fit, as they’ve licensed the music, having used it in the Ecto ornament and previous Halloween cards. There’s even a single fold version you can buy online, which has the music and sells for $5.99. Better yet, you can personalize it! I have no confirmed price on the double fold card. Stay tuned! Brian says the card he bought was $5.99 as well and does play the music! Thanks, Brian!

2012…? What the earl? That ain’t right…
I didn’t see anything about the Stay-Puft thingy when I saw the new GB Halloween card. The Hallmark Store I was at didn’t even carry the Ecto1 ornament anymore.
I’m confused, at the top of the article it says it’ll everyone’s number one Christmas boutique item this year, but then states it’s not coming out this year.
I am thinking this is not coming out until xmas 2012, is that correct?
And if that’s the case, I wish I never knew about it…that’s a long wait! Any cool ornaments coming out this year?
The Stay Puft will not be out till 2012, the article states that it is a preview of the stuff they are going to be making for Christmas 2012.
I’ll be very excited for the Delorean and Stay Puft next year but this Christmas, Hallmark has some nice ornaments too, including the requisite comic book characters like Spidey and Batman, plus some more unique ones like Gizmo from Gremlins.
The new tri-fold card is WAY better than the card Hallmark put out a few years ago. Looks like I’ll have to venture out to my local CVS and see if they have any in stock.
I can’t find the new card – been to Hallmark Gold Crown Stores, Wal-Mart, Party City…No luck. I even asked the people to look it in there systems, and they came back with previous years card. If anyone finds this, please post where at!
This card isn’t new. I got it last year. Still cool, though.
Yes, this has been pointed out, but it’s new to me, so up it goes. And as it turns out, it’s new to a lot of other people. Did you email me about it and I forgot or…
Castewar…slightly off topic..but are we likely to be treated with a Hallowe’en makeover on the proton charging home page -as was inked in for good holiday measure last year??
It was pretty neat. (Something in the same flavour?)
If I can find the time. Might not be a big thing, but I always like to make a point of making an event out of Halloween, so we’ll see…
