The item is intended as a home decoration for the Halloween holiday.

Item #6546190, “Bugaboo” Antenna, is a decorative headband designed for use as a costume on the Halloween holiday that consists of a pink rigid horseshoe headband covered with pink faux fur with two attached spring antennae. Affixed to the top of each antenna are two matching purple foam balls.

Item #6546390, “Princess Wildfire” Tiara, is a styrene hair slide decorated with blue faux fur, blue flowers, and three shades of blue ribbon. The tiara is of the kind that normally serves to enhance one's appearance by holding the hair in place.
