Thread: Rising Reaper

Tweet

I was at Target today, and saw an animated rising reaper. It lies on it's back, rises, and says, "Ahhh! Welcome to my graveyard," plays scary sounds, and goes back down. Has anyone used this? If so, how complicated is assembly, and, is it worth the $20.00? How easy is storage?I put this in general because it wouldn't post in props.

Here's a video of it in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqYxB7THfdg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The one that Spirit sells has red led eyes & has some blue led's that light the face and hands which really help people to see it when it jumps up. I've used this for about 3 years now & it's fun to use the remote control to really confuse little kids who keep jumping up & down trying to make it go off a second time. Some years I'll hide it in a shadow or behind a short tombstone & surprise plenty of adults who're standing off at the sidewalk where they think they're safe. Lots of good scares for the money. Mine did finally break after leaving it out overnight on Halloween last year (which I never usually do).

I have it its a big hit. its easy to assemble but you cant hack it too much like adding a mask or diff clothes. it wont sit up then. in my case i hate the reaper face so I took one of those clear plastic masks that weigh nothing painted it like a zombie and hot glued it to the face. works great big hit specially if he lays in the fog and pops up.

I though it was junk only worked for a couple nights then broke! Was disappointed.

Is the Spirit version the same thing?

I bought mine a target. The spirit one is different.

Both is made by the same company they are just dressed different.

I may get one because it will add the amiance for my graveyard. I also want the flying ghost.

It is worth 20.00.I have one boxed up that I haven't used.
There is one with a coffin on ebay going for a good bit.I can't remember the price.But it's the same prop and it's been on ebay for years (from a store)so it must sell.
