Oh. I DID make a mistake and put "plus shipping". That was just for the E-Bay people, not the people on this website. Hey, if you can get this at WalMart, all the better for you. Good luck, 'cause this guy is cool.......Funky....not scary.

The butler that moves his eyes is the same manufacturer as the skeleton I have and it doesn't move very much! It also doesn't have a professional microphone so you can do karaoke or play your own tunes and have him move his mouth and body to the music. This just went for $175 plus shipping on e-bay. (Guess I just got offended at the replys thinking I wanted to rip someone off.)

Sorry if anyone did offend you, I am pretty sure no one ment to. Only thing is people have been ripped off before, always should be on the lookout.

Ok folks... I just took a look inside this thing and the mechanics are pretty simple. Two uprights from the legs up to the shoulders. Midline and even with the shoulders is piviot point that the torso is attached. The whole torso sways back and forth from the piviot making it appear to move at the hips. There is a leaver attached to arms at the shoulders that rides the top of the torso moving the arms. This will be very easy to make from PVC.

Well the money was buring a hole in my pocket so I figured why not... I'm sure I can improve it a bit... SO there I am at Walmart looking at the seasonal section full of lawn chairs... I ask a kid.. "when are you bringing out the halloween stuff?" he says not till the 3rd week of september after the back to school sale...

So I take a walk... right into the stock room... NO ONE EVEN LOOKS AT ME... I'm looking at the shelves of halloween boxes (no pics on them just the brown shipping boxes) and I see 2 dancing skeletons...

They only brought in 2 of them...

So I looka round... pic up the box and make the long walk out of the stock room and down to the till... the girl ring it in... and I make for the car... hehe

It's a bit cartooninsh but the skull is good and I figure I can dress him in different clothes...

$77 Canadian... Not too bad for a prop that size... Thats $59 US...
