I had a vision, and the vision didn't take that long to edit up into working order, considerably more stylin' than just the uniform itself.

Some highlights from this year's Día de los Muertos build, that I liked so much I'm just keeping it around forever now.
It makes me feel at home.

It is ONCE AGAIN time for the reduced price on this old thing (that keeps getting older!) 50% off for the whole of October.

View of it here, if you dare, etc., I probably should have made a new ad for it but I didn't.

6442: Sting Ray Explorer gives us a glimpse into the undersea world of 1997, where submarines were yellow, certain minifigure heads were really uncanny and fish were stickers on big ugly rock pieces.
The leopard eel and crab stickers are my favorites.

An unruly wind has swept the hat of that cadaverous cad, the Dapper Swindler, onto a bough above a mountain ravine, forcing the duplicitous dead man to make use of an unusual tool - which he really did have up his sleeve.

This little guy here, 1762: Go-Kart from 1995, is what I like to refer to as Barely a LEGO Set.
With a scant sixteen pieces, not counting the minifigure, this 2x6 plate with wheels is a joyful example of, "just toss some parts in a box and sell it."

A little summer fun with 6595: Surf Shack from 1993, with three different sails for windsurfing, a bar with palm frond awnings and a man with very short shorts.

The rest of the set is this funky net contraption, ice "tunnel" and little gems in ice domes, the idea being to clear the ramp and get to the jewels, presumably.
The set also has some extra bits to make the two alternate builds, including some set-exclusive medium blue barrels.

Inside we have these fine Xalaxian gentlemen, Freeze and Chill, with top-notch printing and cold color combos, along with an extra-cool medium blue ramp with some excellent stickering, and either racer's slammer/storage garages, complete with more cool stickers of their emblems.

Here's an odd one, 4579: Freeze & Chill from 2001's LEGO Racers, the only playset in the entire theme. This brand new box has been through 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, with the hole in the back and the scuff on the front, probably from a torn-off sticker.
I'm gonna see what's inside.

Have a few more good bone fits, though the jacket in the first one isn't my favorite, it's the only one I've found to complete the look so... completely.

I'm taking nice pictures of my boneman outfits, and also realizing how bad some of my boneman outfits are.
Here's some of the good ones!

6579: Ice Surfer features this really cool printed sail, and bucks convention by putting the flag on a remote monitoring station rather than the vehicle itself.
This is the one I had as a wee man, and even now I'm disappointed by the lack of snowshoes, but c'est la vie.
