Thread: Where to buy Animatronic props (aside from ebay)?

Tweet

Hi,

Is there a decent place to buy some Animatronic props for halloween? Is Ebay the only game in town? I like the pricing but I would hate to buy it in august & find it doesnt work in October.

Any suggestions on where to buy things?

I really like the animated witch, that looks pretty cool indeed!

Thanks,
Rich

Check out Gemmy.com look under life size, it will tell you where you can purchase each prop you view. (They have alot of Animatronics)
Sorry if you already knew this.

It really depends on what you are looking for.

Stores like Spirit, Halloween Express (those first two are seasonal only stores) Michaels, or Garden Ridge will carry a few different types of anamatronics.

You could also check out Oriental Trading Company, Fright Catalog and the like on the web.

There is a section on these boards about recommendations on businesses:
Reviews - Great, Good, Bad, and Ugly - Halloween Forum

Gemmy.com: Life Size Witch with Fogging Cauldron

Thats the one I was looking for!

That all depends on what kind of animatronics you want. Here is a quick list of some good suppliers, myself included.

Boo Crew Production

Evilusions

DC Props – Materializing Imagination! High end custom Halloween props and Animatronics.

Rich - its early enough to start calling around. We got our witch last year in a Wegman's grocery store about an hour from our home, for $135.00. I think you'll find that the speciality Halloween stores, both brick n mortar and on-line, will hae the highest prices.
Online, last year a store called Rural King www.ruralking.com had them for a very good price - but sold out early becasue of demand. You might try calling their customer service dept.

Here are a couple of nice sites, the second one is static only but offers some nice quality heads and arms.

Lowes is selling the Gemmy witch and mummy this year. The mummy is 79.00, have not seen the witch arrive yet!

I keep hearing all these stores mentioned where people are seeing halloween stuff, walgreens, lowes, home depot etc etc... nothing in my local stores yet.

Lowes in my area has the mummy $80,witch $150, & some skulls & stuff & all the big airblown ones.
