The theme is 'Twisted Fairy Tales' and wow some of the items I've already looked through teeter between gothic, fantastic, and grotesque. Not all of the gifties have items for men, though some are unisex and/or could be resized for dudes to wear so there's still hope.
Here's some picks from the first 25 stops in the Hunt:
Stop #1 and already we have a great gothic outfit from Rasetsukoku. The back of the coat has a drawing of Jack Skellington and the sleeve cuffs have little pumpkins on them for flair. The coolest part of these duds is the spinal bone cane with alternating animations so you too can look like a cool pimp daddy. ;-)
At #4 on the trail, Gehenna (right next door to Rasetsukoku, actually) ended up making both these little guys and an item similar to Roawenwood (which is further down in this post) based on Hansel & Gretel. Ryoko decided to add these Domo-Kun plushies to the mix as well. I had hoped that the one on my head could hold his bodily functions until I took the pic, but to no avail.
Here's a full Avie in a box for your next Halloween party! This giftie from VampArt (#7) shows off what can happen if Jack had accidentally slipped and fell while climbing up that infamous giant beanstalk. OW that -had- to hurt!
At Color Me Chaos (#9) the theme was 'The Little Mermaid' and so of course for the men's design you gotta have the outfit for the sailor she rescues and sets the entire story in motion.
Along with 2 female Mary skins, Absentia at #14 in the Hunt also included these incredibly detailed pieces from a rather demented version of Pinocchio. The brain and the heart both do pulsate and the heart comes with a silent version and one with a 'beating' sound.
No the fangs aren't included. They are simply for Boy Guen's dignity. ;-) PeeBox (#17), aside from being a really unique store of gadgets, also has a great selection of full body tattoos with texts and scripts. For the hunt, there's a full body tat in multiple layers with bloody text all along the back, various bits of other gore and inked Jack Skellingtons in other various spots. This one is good for the girls, too!
Hansel and Gretel's Torment from Roawenwood (#20) is an interesting piece. You can either sit in the cage (with two different sits) or you can stand behind it. As I said, Gehenna made a similar one (unintentionally) and both are cool in their own way. Either one is definitely a conversation piece to add to your home or store decor. :-)
Rara Avis at #21 decided to step away from gothic for just a moment and do some elegant outfits based off 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. The boy giftie is called the 'Oberon' and has an incredible amount of detail in each piece that this picture can't do justice to portray. All I needed was my elf ears from my normal look. ;-)
How the prince looked after going through all the perils to get to Sleeping Beauty's chamber, that's what you get in the male gift from HopScotch (#22). I love the shading and rich golds that contrast against the red of every strand of blood. The coat and the cape also has a subtle cream pattern to compliment the white.
Ah not just any Mad Hatter avatar, but one inspired by American McGee's twisted mind. This men's gift from Sweeter Than Candy even includes a crooked nose and gear in the back for your demented enjoyment. Don't fret, girls, you get Alice in your box which is equally as enjoyable to wear.
The second post will have items from stores #26-50 which I should be able to sort through in a couple days. The Hunt runs through October 6th so you all still have some time to see each amazing shop along the path. :-)

Aaaaactually...Color Me Chaos isn't The Little Mermaid. It's the story of Lorelei, a woman who threw herself off a cliff when she found out her lover was unfaithful. She turned into a siren who would sing and drive sailors to leap from their boats and kill themselves on the rocks trying to get to her. :)
oooooo my apologies, Ona. *^_^* Got the two stories backwards.
