Thread: Best Gemmys

Tweet

I am new to home haunting and would like to pick up 3 Gemmys this year. My theme will be a graveyard. I would love to hear what the people of this forum think are the best Gemmys to buy as a start.

HI....i have a few maybe not as much as some other people have on here because some collect them , just a word of warning , they often have malfunctions ,(life size ones) like eyes not lighting up , mouth movement wont work etc, i have experienced quite a few on almost every life size props to date but being electronicly prop challenged that way i rely on those gemmy props to animated my haunt so.....

i got the pirate last christmas i think he is great , moved left to right lift his arm up with sword move his head eyes light up mouth moves and he is uge 6 ft over tall ....but i wont get to use him this year.

i also must say i like my old faithfull edwardian butler , on this version only the head and eyes move like he speaks from behond , but been working great for 5 years and everyone as an uneasy feeling passing him by because he is so simple they dont know what he is going to do.....

as for my third choice i would say the mad scientist or donna.

i also have the frankenstein that moves his arms and that his brain and heart light up but the singing part turns me off so i use him but without sound i built a background sountrack that plays in the lab .

i have no received my bride and quivering doorman yet so i hope they work well they seem like neat props too if you overpass the eye or mouth noise the bride seems to make but i dont mind.

now if i had money to buy more life size animation gemmy or not i would get the stirring witch, the life size caged skeleton they had a sam's club last year , the face ripper , the gothic bride(IF her head is also diffrent from the white bride)

now if your theme is a graveyard no specifics you might like donna for this theme.....i have the one from micheals last year in a less white robe ad has a light up pumpkin in her hand.

Top 3 Gemmy of all time:

1) Jason - by a landslide...freaky and very realistic

2) Leatherface

3) Freddy or Mad scientist

Top 3 Gemmy still in production:

1) Jason

2) Edwardian Butler

3) Witch with Caudron

I have had no problems with any of my life size animated Gemmy props (have about 5 or 6 of them).

I guess I am lucky

I'd love to have either the Jason or the Edwardian Butler.

my family has jason, freddy and donna the dead and we love them all but the jason is definately the best because its so tall and real!
