Thread: Large latex toad prop

Tweet

Does anyone have one and can you post a pic, where you got it and approximate price you paid? I'll be in the market for one next year. Haunted Props carries a couple nice ones but there is a nasty review in the forum about them that has be a bit gun shy. I'd like to see what else is out there. I did google it btw and only came up with a couple places that had them.
Thanks.

I have ordered from haunted props and didn't have any trouble.

I bought two or three giant toads from Oriental Trading a few years back. Might have paid close to $20 for the first one but seem to remember buying more on halloween clearance. I don't see them listed any longer on OT's site.

OT use to have a lot cooler halloween props IMO than they were carrying last year or this year. Back when I bought my toads I also bought a giant latex spider and two slightly smaller "baby" spiders from them along with a latex cobra and python. All great props. I've seen the snakes carried in the haloween stores but not the toads. I think my toads look like the one Hollow mentioned above. They're cool. I picked up a resin toad from Kmart this year from their garden section. It's called Cromwell, the Croaking Toad. It's motion activated. It only croaks, so no other stupid sound track, which is perfect for me. Great for placing among my other guys when it's not convenient to have a speaker system in that location. I don't see any of the outdoor living/garden items like him that they had during the summer online right now. But if Cromwell sounds like something you'd like to add to your haunt try looking for him at Kmart starting around Spring. I found him on their website but drove to picked him up, from a somewhat nearby Kmart in order to save on shipping, along with a resin horned cattle skull and some really nice large wagon wheels for my haunt. Someone else on the Forum had mentioned buying Cromwell and posted a pic and description and that set me off on a search for him. Kmart's pricing was decent as I recall and I think I was able to take advantage of a summer sale too.

I could try taking a picture of my menagerie if you want, let me know. I always look for this stuff on sale or clearance when I can, so over the years have accumulated quite a decent all-round collection for any haunt theme. Last year found giant Latex ants and cockroaches from Dapper Cadaver during one of their clearance sales. Fun stuff!
