Twelve feet is the commercial name for this size. Either way it stands taller than the door beside it, so measure the drop from your gutter before you decide where it goes.
The eyes, the mouth and the chest — all three come on together when you switch it on. The eyes are LCD screens that blink and shift on their own; the mouth and the ribcage glow like there's fire behind them.
No. This one is light only — no motion sensor, no app, no recorded sound and no live voice mode. The arms pose however you set them while you assemble it, then stay put. If you want a version with a moving head, a talking mouth and a phone-controlled sensor, that's a different animatronic in the collection.
At least two adults, three recommended — the manufacturer's manual is explicit about this for the lift and the takedown. Budget about an hour. It comes with a stepladder-height build, an Allen wrench for the joints, and a cable that has to be secured before you stand it up.
Yes — four ground stakes ship in the box, plus the steel base it stands on. If your soil is soft or you get real wind where you are, Home Accents sells a sturdier stake kit separately; this one is not rated for storms or strong wind, and the manual says to lay it down before either.
It plugs into a standard wall outlet — no batteries. The power adapter also runs the timer, so the outlet you pick decides where it stands. Walk the distance before the box arrives.
Both are fine — it ships with stakes and a base built for a lawn. The manufacturer notes it performs best indoors, so if you're leaving it out for weeks in wet weather, that's worth knowing going in.
It comes apart into the same flat pieces it arrived in — base, legs, torso, arms and head — and goes back into the original box for the off-season.
The whole sheet
What holds up
The chest glow is the part nobody warns you about. From the sidewalk it reads like there's an actual fire behind the ribs, not a bulb stuck in there.
We've done the smaller skeletons for years. This is a different category of decoration. Cars actually slow down.
The manual isn't kidding about needing three adults for the lift. We tried it with two first and had to stop and wait for a neighbor. Once it's up it's solid.
They actually shift and blink, they're not just glowing dots. My kids won't walk past it after dark without checking if it's looking at them.
No app, no sensor, no phone required — I know some people want that, but I just wanted to flip it on and set the timer. Does exactly that and nothing more.
Put him up the first weekend of the month and by the third day people were stopping to take photos on their evening walk.
Stored him flat in the garage in his own box all year. Nothing yellowed, nothing cracked, the stakes still hold him straight in soft ground. He goes up faster the second time because you already know the order the pieces go in.
The head didn't want to lock into place the first time and the instructions don't call out what to check. Ended up backing out a bolt on the neck bracket and reseating it, which fixed it. Also lay the cable out and secure it before you lift, exactly like the manual says — we skipped that step once and had to lay him back down. No complaints since he's been up.
