Ward off strangers or welcome the foolish with this fearsome Animated life-size Grave Digger Prop. He stands a full five and a half feet tall, dressed in tattered black garb with long scraggly gray hair, a battered black hat and a toothless yaw - one can only imagine where hes come from or going to.…

Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments: This is a fabulous old grave digger, a thoughtful fellow who warns people of corpses and to watch their step. His voice innunciates well; it is easy to understand him. He worked perfectly, and the description of him is accurate. I am very happy with him and he startled people during our Halloween party. |

Comments: We used this animatronic in our outdoor yard display with a step pad since it will run off batteries. It worked great, dazzled trick or treaters, people even took photos of their kids next to "The Gravedigger". Loved the arm coming up and pointing, we staged it to point to our cemetery. We were very impressed and so were our Halloween guests. |

Best Uses Comments: The Grave Digger prop was a disappointment in the following ways: It was too skinny, I had to fatten it up by wrapping its entire body in creepy cloth under its clothing. The pants were one piece and no there was no split between the legs...looked like a skirt. His shoes were flimsy cheap light plastic(paper thickness) and attached by velcro. On the back of his neck, the plastic skin was ripped and too much of it was showing. I wrapped that also on creepy cloth after repairing the torn plastic. The weight for the base was too small and the prop fell repeatedly. I will give it this-despite how many times it fell-it still works. There was no way to secure the base because of its design. The sensor was very sensitive and just would keep going constantly-I had to keep it unplugged. This prop was not cheap-I should have shopped longer before selecting it. I used this prop on an outdoor enclosed porch. It worked well despite the cool temperatures and the fact that it fell from high winds a few times. |

Comments: This guy was the perfect top off to the graveyard scene. Got lots of compliments on our yard this year... with a little ingenuity and effort, this is a definite need for the enthusiast. |

Comments: I used this guy in my living room/ cemetery. Looks great. The sound effects are loud enough and the head and face movements are realistic. This prop work just like the video, except I had a problem with his arm. It stopped going back down after a cycle. |

Comments: Grave Digger has some valuable strengths. The 5' product appears better built than most props in this price range - strong base, strong supports, good wiring job. One of the best voiceovers on the market makes him an attention grabber, as does the animation which appears to wake a safe inanimate prop to life as he raises his head and arm. Eyes flash, mouth moves, arm raises and points. Important point, comes with an adapter but the only full size prop I've seen that also runs on batteries alone, meaning more freedom in where you put him. A bit skinny but you can stuff him to plump him up a bit. He runs on a combo sound activator/timer. Loud sounds trigger him, otherwise he goes off every 90 seconds, getting annoying pretty quickly to those within constant earshot. I have to place him a distance from my other talking props so he doesn't speak over them. |

Best Uses Comments: Spirit store in salem nh was only open a couple days and they did not have this product in stock despite having it on display. They offered to sell me the floor model but at full price. I ended up buying it online and having to pay shipping and taxes. Product a good bang for the buck though overall. |

Best Uses Comments: Quality is minimal at best. It may last a night or two. It has no framing of any kind to make it look like there is a person in the clothes. The clothes just hang as if on a coat hanger. I had to add modifications to make it look less like roadkill and more like a person. Metal coat hangers bent and zip tied to the post to hold the clothing out at the chest area and a ring of wire stitched around the waist line and some more stuff in the legs and a little batting on the back across the shoulders. I also used black sharpie to give him pupils and a light grayish blue almost dead sharpie to give his irises a spooky look. Now he looks somewhat real. |

Comments: I have it in my yard and he is pointing toward the graveyard display. He is awesome. the only thing bad I can say about it is, being animated you have to take it in during rain. |
