As animatronics go, this is probably one of the better ones I’ve seen (you get what you pay for). Properly proportioned, and it has a decent sense of “weight,” as opposed to the ones which are simply flimsy costumes draped over a metal frame. While it would have driven up the price point (!), it would have been neat to see the designers work a swiveling half skull/half human head into the helmet. Properly timed with the lights, the head would alternate between the two. It looks like that outfit may actually fit you, Mike! You should get a second one, dress up in it, and REALLY surprise your Hallowe’en guests! It looks really great on the bridge over your koi pond. A little green uplighting, some surf/bubble SFX, and you’re good to go. Have fun prepping for October. Looking forward to seeing your layout this year!

My husband is obsessed with antique Mark 5 diving helmets, we’ve seen a few real ones, so I showed my husband this and he asked if you got this at some specialty Halloween store, I told him Lowes, and he was impressed! The size is right, the coloring is pretty good. If you’re ever near Tarpon Springs, there’s good food and lots of old diving stuff everywhere, they’re know for sponge diving and seafood.

I bought him yesterday before he sells out! I'm so sad he's indoor use only! 😢 I would love to see a video where someone finds a way to use him outdoors. It would be cool if his eyes glowed red but as an on/off setting or if you could program red eyes to only glow when the green light turns off. I love the patina and I'd be curious to see if more nautical animatronics come out over the next 5years or if this is the year to stock up on the set.

He is wonderful! The better materials really make a difference in his looks. (He is also giving me a Doctor Who monster vibe). I think the decision to make the helmet a single piece rather than two really sells the effect (even though it makes it bulkier to store and ship)

Great video!!! My wife snagged one for my birthday and it's freaking awesome! Going to reside permanently in our horror-themed bedroom. I added some fishing net (decorative, not real, from Hobby Lobby) around his shoulders, some rusty foam prop chains, and a starfish and some shells in the net. I also scraped the green gauze off the harpoon tip which improved it IMHO. I'm going to make a sandy base for him with some tall artificial plants so that he looks like he's emerging from the ocean.

I agree about putting a small light in his mask to keep the face on. I would like to see if its creepeor lit from the bottom or top of inside the mask. Another theme people have been saying is that he looks like a perticular skull faced scubba diver from Scooby doo. So i suppose he would work as the monster if.someone bought all that 70's Halloween from Micheals for a Scooby doo party.

@HappyHaunting I know it's a mistake on lowes or whoever made the packaging but if the animatronic has a screw in adapter into the module, the module is where the on off switch is basically the white rectangular box and if the clothes are super good quality like heavy duty that covers the wires ans electronics so no rain or water can get to them so anyways if you see the adapter like how you can unscrew the wire to the plug part so it can be stored easier and make more room in the box for when it's the off season so the adapter looks like an inflatable plug but it's not

For $350? This is absolutely crap. Maybe $250 max. You have to do your own details to make it work. At least another $100 to give it a vibe. Moss, light, some vines hanging off him and some netting. Then you add on your own sounds. Honestly it’s really poor quality. Helmet light won’t stay on as well.

This is one is somewhat of a disappointment to me. Main thing is the $350 when it should’ve been $150 and second all those sound effects don’t make any sense in the first phrase cause you don’t know what’s going on. The second phrase is better, they should’ve had a similar phrase to that. Other than that he’s a cool prop
