I buy a lot of similar things. This Walgreens exclusive glow-in-the-dark Boo is basically the same as the one that came out in white last year, except it's cast in a glow in the dark plastic. It has a flat bottom, jointed arms, and sadly no display stand to let it "float."

There's a sticker right on the packaging indicating that it glows, but no "exclusive" markers. It was joined by a blue squid from Splattoon and a recolored 8-Bit Toad from Super Mario Bros., plus a few reruns. The nice thing about Boo is that the greenish color is very obviously different than the standard fare - there's no question if it's white, off-white, or glow. This thing is green. This is good and bad, because the kind of glow plastic used here doesn't have that clean, even glow that most other glow toys carry. You can see swirls and patterns over it, even if you charged it evenly with whatever lights (or the sun) you had on hand.

There are lots of tiny dots on the figure's body, and you won't miss these once it's glowing. It glows quite brightly, just not cleanly.

Pricing on these little guys swings wildly from store to store - Walgreens' figures are currently $4.99, but you could probably have found the standard white version for $3.99 or as little as $3.49. Some stores go as high as $6.99. Shop around, is what I'm saying, if you dare - I just buy these things on sight because a lot of the cooler ones don't seem to enjoy multiple sightings around town. I love glowing toys and Nintendo, so I'd say this toy is interesting because it's larger than the Boo Amiibo and glows more brightly. It doesn't glow as evenly or have a display stand, though, so get whatever you can scare up on the cheap. They're both neat, but I'd give this one the edge thanks mostly to it being cheaper.
