Thread: Has anyone seen this prop?

I thought I could buy this and take the Santa out and add a pirate to it. I want to have a pirate going back and forth from my house to a tree and I thought I could use something like this . If not any idea what I could use to do this?

That's a great idea changing it to a pirate.

Yeah I have a few that I changed from santas to gremlins in my monster museum. They are very small, like 9inches tall.
and the motors go out pretty quick, I think in three years five of my seven just stopp.ed working

What kind of motor would you get to replicate this motion?

Giving this a bump.
Because I am interested to.

Heh- you bumbed a thread after two hours? Patience was never my virtue either.
the requirements for the motor would be
1- battery operated- the unit shouldnt have wires coming from it in order to climb freely
2- When the motor binds it needs to reverse direction- Deer motors do that- in the toy santa climbs a beaded chain and turns around at a point where a bead is missing then travels down the chain untill he hits another bead that is missing.
3- the motor shaft would turn a sprocket thats teeth fit into every other chain loop.
not to tough of a set up really.
you can see the action here

Could you post a pic or link to a deer motor that you are referring to? Thank you so much! And it is the day before Christmas Eve and here I am trying to find a Halloween prop.. Gotta love it.

Here is where I get my deer motors they have been out of stock for weeks.Hope they get them back in soon I need some.
