Saw this and various other DC-branded hermit crab accessories on clearance at the local supermarket. There were also separately packaged Batman hermit crab shells. Oy.

Early next year, DC Direct will begin releasing a series of Mini Neon signs. DC has made large neon signs available to retailers for years now, but these are smaller, cheaper versions — the Batman mini, for example, is 12″ high by 7″ wide. These will retail for $89.99 apiece.
