Executioner Prop Info

**larry** · 07-10-2009,09:06 AM

There were multiple people asking about the Gemmy Executioner prop that will be available soon at http://www.spirithalloween.com
(not yet available at the time of this post)

I believe that this is exclusive to Spirit Halloween.

Executioner:

H" x L" x D" - 70.87 x 38.58 x 17.72 " 6ft Tall

Eyes Light Up Red

Head Moves left to right

5 sayings are:
•"Your next", (followed by a sinister laugh)
•"Some of you will find me on the cutting edge"
•"Let's cut to the chase"
•"It's just a little slice of life"
•"You know what they say, 'The first cut is the deepest'"

Is it me or do the legs look too long for the body?

I wish he did something with the axe. Still cool though!

yeah they do, but the picture might be stretched a little...look at him on page 16 of the Gemmy 09 thread, he looks more proportional. I don't think anyone would really notice, if all of the focus is on the uper half of the body.

Not sure why people get jazzed up about these Gemmy figures. Cheaply made stuff that inevitably breaks down, and then try to fix them or get parts and you're SOL. The majority of these I've seen at Halloween stores are broken after only a few hours of display use. It's your money but for $200+ I'd spend it elsewhere. The thing kind of looks like it was in the "Shrek" movie. Not very scary.

For the $$, provided you dont pay top dollar by shopping at Spirit or someplace like that it's not a bad price if you can get a few years out of it. Gemmy products are not known for their long life spans. If this prop was designed to be scary, the sound track took care of that. I'd rather spend my $$ on a Picoboo controller and a trigger and build my own. But, that's me!

it looks cool and would be a great addition to my torture chamber/ dungeon theme...but, yes it needs some motion.

I may have to take this and build it on an pneumatic armature I have lying around

hmmmm, wheels grind in head.....

as to the legs there are bulging at the feet and waist, could be a little more padded out to not give them the stretched look, and it could be the photo

Larry, thanks for posting!
I can't say i'm impressed with this one. The proportions do look off, and while the glowing eyes are cool, the generic hood has no character to it. I understand the mechanics of the legs, but the stick-straight vertical legs make the figure look weak. I think nice sculpted arms would have added much to this, or a latex head with a partial mask.
This prop could be very easily built for much less money.

I will be posting some more pics of other stuff soon.

Personally, I have had great luck with Gemmy. I have quite a few of their bigger props and never had any problems with them except trying to figure out how to make Jason stand up. But that was my bad.

I can understand that people who can make animatronics prefer their homemade stuff. But myself, I do not have the ability to make a good looking Jason that moves as well as he does for a couple hundred $$. There are a lot of people of love them, some do not.
