This store has some awesome stuff! Anybody ever shop here? Thanks!

I've purchased from them a number of times over the past two-three years I guess. Happy with the mdse and transactions.

Haven't bought any large custom items so can't speak to that end. From what I can recall I've purchased: several giant latex ants, giant latex cockroach, leeches, plasma ball light, IV blood bag drips, giant pliers, a skull I think looked like a relic jungle item (can't quite picture it now but think I bought to go with my jungle them), and probably a handful more of items. I wish I lived in the LA area because I wuld love to make a personal visit to their shop. They also rent props BTW but it's not something I've done.

If you do a HF search for Dapper Cadaver I'm sure you will come up with a number of posts from people wo have bought from them.

Thanks GOS. I did search, and found a few mentions of the Dapper Cadaver. One member bought some latex arms, and a few people said the site was going down and then came back up...or that the DC had a rat prop. I was just wondering if people who shopped online at DC got good props for their money and good service.

I have had hit or misses at stores online. The majority of my Halloween money goes to online retailers, and I have already had an experience with a shady website.

I really like the products in this store! Thanks again!

Dapper cadaver makes a good product. When I need something that we don't want to make at that time, I order from them.

I purchased small prop this past year. It was somthing that i couldn't find anywhere else and I was very happy with it. Delivery took a bit longer than I expected, but when I received it it was apparent from the Odor that it had literally just been made. Overall I thought the prop was fabulous and I definitely would not hesitate to order from them in the future.

Thanks for the replies!

I've never shopped there but I have visited the website many times. The prices are high on some common items but they have some kewl stuff to be sure.

From what I've seen, it looks like they are buying their gargoyles/statues/busts from Design Toscano at full retail, and then marking them up. If they are $35 @ Toscano, Dapper has them @ $50. $350 @ Toscano, $500 @ Dapper, etc, etc. In other words, go to Design Toscano if you want any of their statues.

If this is the same Dapper Cadaver as the one based in the Los Angeles, they're great people, passionate about what they do, and love their fans. I've never purchased from them, so can't speak to that, but I do refer people up their way based on the quality of the work I've seen. (BJ is frequently hired by film and TV productions to create assorted corpses or other props).

Holy Cow...

I just saw this post and realized that they are right down the street from my work. Not much help to you guys, but if you didn't post I would never have known...thanks.
