The Robert Browntime has finally come - the ever-viral, mega-popular 12-foot Home Depot skeleton has hit storeroom floors.
In years past, the retailer has struggled to keep the iconic Skelly in stock once it hits stores, meaning those hoping to get their hands on him this year may want to consider showing up at their local store bright and early Thursday.
With the addition of Skelly's new pet dog and very fashionable accessory kit, he's likely to fly off shelves faster than ever and the stock online is likewise limited. Fear not, latecomers - there are plenty of other eye-catching products in this year's Halloween line that will also be available at brick-and-mortar locations beginning today.
As previously reported by USA TODAY, the 2024 Home Depot collection has something for everyone, especially those who like to lean into the more bone-chilling side of the holiday.
Making your list now? Here's a quick recap of a few of Home Depot's offerings this season.

Skelly gets a makeover
You know him, you love him and you'll probably have to wait in line to get your hands on him.
Skelly, Home Depot's official name for the 12-foot skeleton figurine that first went viral in 2020, is back for another season with new features for existing Skelly owners and first-time buyers alike.
Along with a new accessory kit that comes with a wig, jewelry, a bag and giant shoes that very much give Wednesday Adam vibes, Home Depot also has a new multi-setting eye kit and a new lighting kit for Skelly, as well as a new "scary" head to swap for a more sinister look.
The new kits are compatible with older Skelly models that don't have some elements of newer models, like the multi-setting eyes, built in. You don't have to buy a whole new Skelly to keep up with the latest in giant skeleton tech: one of these kits will do the trick.
The newest and limited edition model of Skelly with a rotating head, called "Servo Skelly," sells exclusively online for $379. The original Skelly model is priced at $299.
Skelly's new pet dog
That's not all that's new in the life of Skelly. He's also gotten himself a new pet. Skelly's dog stands at 7 feet long and, like the newer Skelly models, comes with multiple eye settings.
You can bring home man's - er, skeleton's best friend, for $199.
More bigger-than-life options
A few other extra-large characters will also be available for sale come Thursday, including a 12.5-foot giant-sized Inferno Deadwood Skeleton, a 13-foot giant-sized animated Jack Skellington and a 12-foot giant-sized Levitating Reaper.
Familiar faces
If you have a fear of dolls or monsters, these new animatronics with advanced face articulation may just scare the wits out of you.
In partnership with the owners of their respective images, Home Depot brought to life classic horror characters this year with some chillingly realistic facial expressions and movements.
Chucky, the original evil doll from 1988's "Child's Play," appears in this year's collection as a 3.5-foot animated doll. Adorned with his classic overalls and wielding a knife, Chucky cycles through voice lines that were specifically written for the Home Depot decoration - as it turns out, the language in the original movie was a little too vulgar to play in stores.
Creepier yet, Chucky's face not only features eyes that roll and move, but an uncanny smile that twists his realistic-looking face into a menacing grin.
He is accompanied by Frankenstein's Monster, another unmistakable horror icon. Like Chucky, the 7-foot LED-lit Frankenstein monster has a face crafted from what looks like real skin, with bulbous and wandering eyes that follow you around the room.
Chucky retails for $199, while Frankenstein sells for $279.
Standstill scares
Not an animatronic type of person? Home Depot has plenty of options for scares without the "jump" part. A few standouts hitting stores now include:
A 7.5-foot skull and bones archway for $199, a two-pack of grimacing jack-o-lanterns for $79, assorted tombstones (based on real tombstones the Home Depot team observed in real-life graveyards) for $79 and an 8-foot stack of giant LED skulls with glowing eyes for $199.
Cutesy creeps
Less of a super scary decorator and more of a fan of the cute and creepy convo? There are options for you, too. A few fun ones:
A 2.5-foot golden retriever ghost ready to trick-or-treat for $39, a 2.5-foot glow-in-the-dark labrador pup for $39 and a cute light-up mummy mouse for $39.
