That last comment is awesome, Brad! Thanks for replying so quickly - he does seem like a really cool prop based on the videos I have seen posted to YouTube. I want to do a Disney theme for 2015 focused on the spooky side and I thought he would be a nice addition to my tribute to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.I have one and I use him, alot for Halloween and Pirate themed events.
and the kids like to scare each other with him LOL
the only trouble I have had is him springing out of the box at me, guess he is just excited about Halloween too.
That would be great, matrixmom. I'm hoping to find a small tube of some sort that I could insert both broken pieces into and them screw them into the pipe (like small PVC or something) to give it strength and connect the two pieces. The seller has agreed to give me back half of the money because she didn't know he was broken, so he will wind up being only $20 in the end.I have one with the same prob and hubby said he could fix...I paid $100 used. I will post a video if hubby tells me when he's going to fix it.
What a deal. I wouldnt hold your breath. My DH is a big procrastinator unlike MOI.That would be great, matrixmom.

That's funny, matrixmom! Well, I searched online last night at it appears there were versions of Dead Eye Drake and then there is just a skeleton pirate that is still on Gemmy website for sale and they all use the same motion and the same arm lifts. I emailed Gemmy last night with a plea to let me purchase the mechanism that provides the rotation and lift - now I'm just biting my nails until I hear from them....hopefully it will be good newsWhat a deal.

Thanks Chris. I posted the volume in a different thread hoping to catch the eyes of other Gemmy prop owners besides those that own Dead Eye. They brought up a good point that if the volume changes when he moves, it's very likely one of the little wires is getting pinched and the signal is interrupted. I'm hoping to get inside of the cavity of the figure soon and trace the wires but since I just got the mechanical pieces working, I'm enjoying watching him workIt's great when ingenuity and a little work pays off! Good luck with it. I saw your post about the volume, issue, sorry I can't help you with it.
