I hope these are the new Funkins that are supposed to be released with better foam material. Last year, I purchased 4 Funkins and they cracked/broke during carving!

The Manufacturer (the CEO of the company that makes these foam Pumpkins). has told me that using a Hot Knife/Versa Tool, is extremely Dangerous to your health. When the heated Knife cuts through the foam, it creates a gas/fume that's equivalent to Cyanide Gas Poisoning. I know it works Well on cutt...

I did purchase the ZP Pro Carving Set, so I'm going to try it out on the other Funkins I have. I do have an X-Acto knife to perfect the edges if I need to.

So over in September I bought my first Funkin for carving. Decided tonight to carve it with a official Funkin carving knife being a NOOB and I ended up breaking my Freddy design. (You can see below around the left ear area and nose.) I did use Stick 'N Carve for the transfer and it worked very well ...

Sorry for all the questions on these.

But what is the best way to hold the LEDs in the pumpkin? I assume a simple paper clip and tape will go a long way? Any cool suggestions?

I think a Man of Steel movie pattern or something Superman related would be awesome this year!

Hey Brandon, you saw this post, right? To answer your questions about brightness, I did a little test. I took a photo with all the yellow LED items I have handy. These shots were all taken with the same exposure, so you can get a true comparison of brightness. Looks like the 10mm diffused LED does ...

Hey guys! I'm gonna be ordering some of these this week and wanted to know how these are when using foam or real pumpkins?

Is one LED light enough to be bright? Thanks guys.

NikkiRae did you think like LED costume lights (they are a w...

Hey guys. Tonight I carved a pumpkin with the new Hulk Avengers pattern and wanted to try out glow sticks for the lighting. However, I used 3 really bright glow sticks but it wasn't bright as one of my liquid candles that I use this time of year. Do you guys anything out on the market that is really...

This question is really for Ryan. Have you ever thought about creating another section for previous years VIP patterns? I got last year patterns printed and so happy about this year (keep them coming) but I'd love to be able to go back in time to get those VIP from previous years as well! :D Also, a...

Hey guys. I just bought two Michael's gemmy pumpkins on sale for $7 each. Going to try to carve a simple pattern on one tonight.

Is it better to cut a small hole in the bottom for lighting or at the top?

Cool pics Ryan!

Love the Pumpkinhead movie. I got to meet Lance Henriksen last year at a horror convention and he was so nice. I had a great experience meeting him.

I agree, it might be difficult for the public to recognize the image. I might try to work on a stencil somehow to see what works.

Hmm...Ryan...maybe this as a new pattern before Halloween?! Hope so!
