I’m not sure if this really fits in the Other Props forum but I was in Home Depot the other day and while looking at their Halloween airblown decorations I noticed one seemed familiar.
While not an exact Sam Hain it looks pretty impressive at 10ft.
I also found the Spirit chain of Halloween stores carries the 10’ and a 4’ “kid” version as well.
Might make an interesting companion piece for anyone with an RGB outfit or group.
I’ve been seeing this design show up everywhere this year. Each Dollar store has their own version, as well as the Spirit-themed stores. I’m not sure why it’s suddenly everywhere.
Either way, I can’t wait to hang one in my yard for the kids to steal and destroy like they did all my Christmas decorations.
Wow, that’s a crazy price difference between the Home Depot and Spirit ten footers!
Spirit Halloween almost always prices high, I think. (And HD has free shipping, and I’ll bet spirit charges $20 or more.)
That said, we got some 30 ft tall ghosts on clearance last year that originally were $100 a pop. We got them for 80% off @ $20 each, so after Halloween these guys could be dirt cheap.
We’ll have to add this one looking for after season clearance prices though, so I don’t have to put my own samhain outdoors.
My wife is working at our local spirit store just one day a week. I know she gets a discount but I’m not sure how much.
*EDIT
I just messaged her about it and she says both that guy and the stay puft are online only, so that means the last minute store closing sales Garee mentioned won’t apply to them. Bummer.
Still, For $70 and at 10 foot, I’m thinking of picking one up this weekend. There are none in stock at the home depots here, but we are road tripping up to Ohio this weekend, there just happens to be a store with them in stock.
OT, I also saw a 30 foot tall reaper today at Lowes. 30 FOOT TALL! He stands over the top shelves from the ground!
Cripes a 30’ one of those would be super impressive. I’m not sure I even have a spot in my yard for the 10’ one.
i cant find the 30 reaper … can someone drop a link for me …
He’s in the door way at my lowes. (The 30 foot)
We picked this guy up while in Ohio this past weekend, and I’m more than pleased with him. He inflates quickly, and just looks great at night.
The only thing I dislike (as with other lit inflatables) is having lights in black parts. It would have been nice if the green was replaced with brown, but as is he just looks killer, and seems a LOT taller than I’d have thought.
Does it have a zipper on the back to allow you to open and deflate it quickly? If so you could probably get at the bulbs inside near the black areas and either remove them or if the circuit requires replace them with dead bulbs.
There is a zipper at the bottom. I might look to unscrewing them and seeing if the light circuit still works, UT there is. Concern then that water might get in them in an inevitable storm.
Odds are I’ll just leave it be for now, and as I get burned out bulbs, replace the body ones with them.
