All things considered since those are initial listings, I wonder if "pneumatic" actually means "pneumatic", or if it really means some sort of spring driven "Mr Dark" contraption.

It would be a big step forward but I wonder how they are going to handle the compressor. Will something cheap be included or are they going to basically say "Here's a wicked cool $200+ prop, now head over to another department and grab an air compressor that's going to add another $100+ to the overall investment so it will actually do something other than sit there. Hope you know something about pneumatics. Good luck."

I just don't see that working as a marketing approach.

Actually, I'm surprised they haven't done this in the past. They're a hardware store and sell most of the stuff you'd need to do a pneumatic prop. So consider it like when you buy a BBQ, suggested selling: propane tank, utensils..etc. from a sales perspective, more opportunities for upselling.

With that being said, even though I've sworn off buying cheap props, I'm very curious about the archway. It seems easy enough to store and I can retire the way too big columns I already have.

I decided to submit a question asking if the clown was actually pneumatic and, if so, would come with a compressor or would you have to buy one separately. My question got approved but they must have removed the listing because at the moment it just redirects to the main listing. A couple of the other ones are doing that as well. Didn't check everything.

On the mobile app, for the description, check this out:

So it does appear that you will need to purchase a compressor if you don't already have one.

That being said, I'm impressed that they are going that hard into animatronics.

Figure in the next few years either HD or Lowes will be carrying Distortion's products?
