Hello people....I don't post on boards at all....but I have been reading this great board...getting some great tips..and watching all the new products come out with the rest of you.One of our Spirit stores FINALLY opened yesterday...and the frustration over not getting the 20 percent in store coupons mounted greatly as I wanted to spend spend spend!!!LOL!!!Don't have to worry about that now,and I will tell you why!The online store has a new promotion...standard flat rate shipping on all animatronics...5 bucks shipping,no matter what you order.On top of that...if you type in coupon code SPAF20P....you will also get 20 percent off.FINALLY I had a deal I could not resist!!!!Just one catch...I purchased the Frankencuted and Crawling Donna,and when I had them both on the same order...they only gave me 20 percent off on one item.BUT............when I placed them as 2 seperate orders....got the discount on both of them!!!I hope this helps all you Spirit junkies that have been waiting to feed your addictions!!LOL!!I for one,feel MUCH better now!!!!!LOL!!!

Hmmmmm, gonna have to try this one.

Hey, it worked! They still charge tax though. Bummer!

Well,I guess I'll add to that as well.As I stated,I finally got into a Spirit yesterday,and thought I'd fill you in on some impressions I had.First off,the ever elusive Frankencuted.I was mildly disappointed.It IS neat looking....when activated...the electrodes lights up...his blue eyes light up...and a bright white light comes out of his mouth....there's also a garbled kind of screaming.SO far so good.My only disappointment is that I was hoping he shook VIOLENTLY.If you've seen some of the new Gemmy lifesize guys that shake and shiver....well,that's about all this guy does,nothing more.Didn't stop me from buying it,though.What can I say...he fits with my haunt.As with most of you,I did like the Zombie American Gothic couple,but not for 100 bucks each.Headless Goth Bride....VERY nice outfit...but all the problems as the Michaels bride.Crawling Donna....creepy....nice for the money.Mad Scientist....big,imposing...but it looks like more like a cartoon figure than anything else...and the way his skull just comes up....NAH!!!Now for the Toxic Zombie that most of you didn't like,specifically because of the thin material that makes up the barrel.Now,I'll tell ya...for the most part...I go for realism in my haunt,with a little bit of cheesiness thrown in for good measure..and I liked the Toxic Zombie.The true test on the thinness of the material is how does it look at night,or in a darkened corner...and if that IS unacceptable...the problem could be EASILY taken care of.NOW...is it worth 149????Uh...no.Wait for the better deal after Halloween.They had four torture weapons right out of Hostel for 8.99 each.Those were neat,very neat.For all you fans of the Gemmy eyeballs in a lab jar.They have a skull in the very same jar...his eyes light up,and he speaks.It's 25 bucks and pretty neat if you have a lab table.The banner is really really neat,but as most of you should have heard by now,what they want 129 for is only 59 at Party City,and it's the very same banner.One of the props I really liked was the static Grim Reaper for 199.He is very imposing looking,well done,and his eyes flash green.The swamp zombie was neat as well.But,again...sad to say.....not worth 199.Let's put it this way...I already KNOW I'm going to have a bunch of neat new stuff NEXT year!!!All in all,I think the selection and variety seemed a bit better this year as opposed to last year....but yes...prices are a bit out of line.If there's anything I missed that you want want some info on...feel free to ask!I gave the joint a GOOD going over!!!

Can't get away from the tax.....but still better than waiting for those coupons!!!LOL!!

when you get frankencuted could you post a video clip?
I just saw the clip from spirit today,.
but in that clip it didnt seem to move at all.

It does not move at all, it just lights up and has sound.

As soon as I get it,I'll get a movie going,Fred.I will say this,though.I saw it work in person.....and although it's not as still as Spirit's movie...it doesn't shake as much as I would have liked either.If I had to describe the movement,I'd say just a couple notches above vibrate.It's too bad,but as I stated before...I got it anyway.It fits part of my haunt...and with the right presentation and a little bit of tinkering,I'm sure it's going to look,and work great!!!

Seems to be some confusion here on whether Frankencuted shakes or not. One post said he does not move at all and Maria says it's a few notches above vibrate?

Maria, where did you see the prop in action?

I want to go check this guy out in person.
