    This product is overall very fun and exciting for both children and adults. It brings out the Halloween in everyone. It was a little bit tricky getting it put together but once in place it is very sturdy. I can say the voice box is also louder than what I even suspected it would be. I was very impressed with that.

    Well I loved this guy, he looks great, says cheesy phrases that won’t scare littles, as his jaw chatters. Until he didn’t. The first two days he was inside, the next three days he spent secured on my enclosed porch. My RING camera captured him working as I stepped out about 830 AM, and not working when I returned three hours later. I checked every connection, the power source, the switches; nothing. So now I have a really expensive, large skeleton that just sits there. Contacted the mfr., but their voice mail box was full, so I fired off an email, but it looks like I will have to return him. Totally bummed.

    Can't wait to use this next Halloween. Got this item on sale and it's stored away until next season. We go all out decorating and this is going to be a great addition. Box is huge, can't wait to see what's inside.

    I was looking for a large talking skeleton for my Halloween display. Did I ever think I would find one at Best Buy? Nope, but I did! This skeleton is awesome. Do not hesitate to buy one of these.

    Item was easy to put together and so far, has been a great addition to our Halloween decor. We will see how the constructed material last with it being out in the sun and weather. So far so good.

    We bought this due to not being able to find the 12 foot skeleton….. but then I did find one at Home Depot (lucky day)! I decided to keep both! This one is super cool i just couldn’t let him go!

    Easy to set up & we love it. The neighbors stop & take pictures. It goes with all my other props for the halloween scenes. We do get around 25 kids, some who lived in the Neighborhood & come back to see the new displays.

    The jaw stopped moving a few days after we received it. Since it was out of stock they could not send me a new one. I was stuck with it and Best Buy only gave us $20 credit. It is a big skeleton and the eyes are impressive the voice sounds like it’s from Disney. If the jaw would have worked it would have been amazing.

    This is our 2nd one. We enjoyed the first one so much, we got it a companion. Easier to assemble than the 12 ft skeleton. We are enjoying them.

    He is tall and well constructed. His eyes are great! Volume control is great too. Only complaint is the programmed dialogue is kind of silly.

    Works great. It is a similar build to the 12ft version out there, but better because it talks and has the moving eyes.

    Good size and the lighted eyes are great. We do have it on one of the lowest volume settings as it gets pretty loud.
