Scooby-Doo Merchandise at Oriental Trading Company

 Oriental Trading Company has always been a great place to get little trinkets for goody bags for parties. I used to buy from them all the time when my kids were in elementary school and I always wished they would have Scooby-Doo stuff.

I was scrolling through Facebook today and an ad came up for Oriental Trading that had a little picture of Scooby-Doo. I clicked on it, not thinking to take a screenshot of the ad because now I can’t find it, and to my surprise, there was so much Scooby stuff on their site! It was really cool to see it all there, even if I wasn’t thrilled with the prices.

Here are some of the items they have available:


There are several products available for Valentine’s Day – Valentine’s cards that come with pencils, temporary tattoos and personalized crayons.

They have craft kits, including one for Easter and one for 4th of July. They have also sold Christmas ornament craft kits.


Coloring books and pencils are great for goodie bags. They are even better when they have Scooby-Doo on them!

You can’t go wrong with stickers and pins, which both sets seem to have matching designs. The pull-back Mystery Machine is pretty cool too!

In additional to all these little trinkets, they also sell the Trick-or-Treat studio masks, Handmade By Robots figures, Gemmy Industries inflatables and more.

Be sure to check out Oriental Trading Company’s website if you’re looking for little Scooby items for goody bags or just want to add them to your collection. Hopefully, they will keep adding Scooby items to their inventory.

I would love to buy all the items on their site, but it’s just not cost effective for me to do so. Maybe a bunch of us could get together, we each buy one of the items and then we each send 1 to each other. Since the items come in packs of 12 to 24, it could work out pretty good. If anyone is interested, let me know!

Scott Jeralds Interview

 

This interview was 2 years in the making and Scott did not disappoint! Over the past 2 years, we have gotten to know Scott a bit.

Scott has had an extensive career in animation and I knew there were projects that he’s worked on that never saw the light of day. I was excited to talk to him about them, and incredibly excited when he offered pictures of those projects to go with the conversation.

One project was called Son of Scooby-Doo, which he first mentioned on The Unmasked History of Scooby-Doo Podcast. I have been obsessed with learning more about this project since that interview aired on August 21, 2020. I had to know what the son of Scooby-Doo looked like and who he hung out.

Scott talks about the Son of Scooby-Doo and some other projects that he worked on with Iwao Takamoto that didn’t get made. He shared some images from those projects, which you can see in the YouTube version of the interview.

In addition to these projects, Scott talks about his career and he tells us some great stories! You don’t want to miss this interview!
