Thread: kicking legs scarecrow??

Tweet

Ok so I saw that Walmart has this scarecrow that has light up eyes and talks and its legs kick around. I have a fabulous scarecrow that Victoria1313 made for me and I was wondering if there was anyway I would make its legs kick around when its hanging like the one in Walmart? Does anyone on here know how I might go about accomplishing that? Some device I would imagine that I would have to put in its body or legs?? I would appreciate any help sent my way, thanks guys

Kicking Legs

There has to be a simpler way to do this tho!

Maybe a shiatsu massager in one of the legs, or some other unbalanced motor? You would need one with a faster movement so it really moves well and doesn't look like it's just swinging it's legs lazily. Check out the "monster in a box" props to see if any of their setups would translate over to a kicking leg.

Thanks so much Frankies girl! I will check that out. If anyone has an easier more simpler way I would love to hear it

I just made a kicking body bag based on this design:PVC Hangman video
Here is a link to my bodybag: My new PVC Kicking Body Bag

It is very simple to make but both legs do move together. Not sure if you want them to move separately.

Here is some legs you can buy:

Thats the same one I got from Big Lots last Nov. on clearance for $ 12.50 .Can't wait to break it out. I was just gonna let him hang from my garage attic as guest walk under him he would start kicking and I am considering to make a full size prop out of him but my only problem his indoors only. I may just have to add a rain jacket and pants, that might work.......uummmm.

Spooky, could you possibly buy the one at Walmart and attach your own scarecrow to it ? Just a thought, but it might be the easiest way to go for you.
