NEW Home Depot SVI Singing/ Animated Santa 2021 | Set up

[@WhiteLotusOm]

I just purchased this in Home Depot last night as I couldn’t get over how amazing he looks and sounds so thank you for posting this video on the set up you did great! 👍🏼🎄🎁🎅🏼

[@gemmybonez459]

Thank you so much!!! That really means a lot! This guy is so amazing! Probably the best Santa we have ever gotten in a decade! Definitely made the right decision on getting him! I really hope you enjoy him!

[@meaghenquinn3591]

This is really cool, I’m afraid of animatronics so I watch these to help that fear, and when you pulled his head out of the box I laughed instead of screamed, so baby steps.

[@gemmybonez459]

I'm so happy to be apart of your process of getting over that fear! Everyone has a fear so I understand. I get it that these are not meant for everyone and I even used to be scared if them but now I realize that they are masterpieces of art made by companies with a passion. Every small step is progress so hopefully watching more videos will definitely help you!

[@Halloween4life]

I’m getting him this year and I’m so excited he’s amazing!

[@gemmybonez459]

He most definitely is! I would highly recommend him! Sadly tho my Santa went out on me. I know some people were not fortunate enough last year and ended up getting bad ones I sadly was one of them. It's okay tho I understand last year was their first year of getting that Santa out in stores. I know this year so far as far as I am concerned no issues from this new model this year! I hope you enjoy him!

That's actually really nice! I love the animation and look to it, it could honestly fit perfectly in a Christmas themed living room!

[@gemmybonez459]

I'm seeing it right now! Nice tall tree decorated in red and gold fire place etc. I could definitely see him in a nice Christmas decorated living room! I am very impressed with this guy! Everything about him is amazing

Yeah, truly! If I could fit a life size in my house I would most definitely buy one of these

@@TheLiqui I would definitely recommend it if you ever found a way! He is very nice I definitely agree!

Actually the santa has four cords to plug in one the sensor cord. Two the white cord and three the body turn. And four the head.

[@gemmybonez459]

I was talking about the body only.

[@njholidayandhorrorman928]

[@mr.animatroniccollector7519]

It said he was supposed to tell a story, does he actually tell a story? Or is it just a false advertisement, I'm asking just because Gemmy always false advertises on their santa saying it collapses when it doesn't. Also, how many songs does it sing? What are the songs?

[@gemmybonez459]

The only story telling Santa I know of was the one sold at Rite Aid and sadly no he does not tell stories but he just talk and interact with you like he's greeting you which is very nice!

[@rolsguitars]

I just got it, put mine together to put in storage and of course it doesn't work no matter what ....so apart it comes and back to home depot

[@gemmybonez459]

Ah man! I am so sorry to hear that 😕 I mean you can only just send it back but at least you can send it back and get your money so you may be able to get a new one!

[@mr.animatroniccollector7519]

I really like how it's also suitable for a covered porch! Most lifesize santas can't go on a porch due to design but it says this one is a porch greeter so I plan on putting mine on the porch😁

[@gemmybonez459]

Hey I ain't gonna argue there! Again just make sure the weather conditions don't do any harm to him and you should be okay! I think he would look incredible out on the porch personally!

[@SkySkrapinEnt]

My Santa has "wak wak" (like squeeking) sound from his mouth opening and closing. Have tried moving it around and open n close it to make go away to no avail.

[@gemmybonez459]

I do think that these sadly are a little flawed but to be fair this is SVI's first true life size Santa to be placed in stores. I know they've made Santa's in the past but this one was the first one to make it into departments. I would say just he patient with them. Mine came without a right shoulder hook sadly so I made a make shift one but I'm not upset about it

[@SkySkrapinEnt]

@@gemmybonez459 thank you for reply. Mine came with no shoulder pads haha. And his mustache is already hanging off while quaking like a duck when he talks haha. Will be calling them tomorrow for hopefully a replacement head.

[@gemmybonez459]

I would most definitely see if you can get a replacement at least! And what do you mean by no shoulder pads? Like no hooks for the shoulders to slide into?

[@SkySkrapinEnt]

@@gemmybonez459 correct no shoulder hooks were included in box. Very disappointing purchase at nearly $200.

[@gemmybonez459]

@@SkySkrapinEnt That is absolutely horrible! I can see managing one but both missing isn't good. Like I said mine came with only one missing, so what I did was I took long bendable wire and made a double hook out of it wrapped it around the hooks of the arms and hooked it into the neck hole of the body shell

[@theholidayshow1026]

I called SVI yesturday and they are sending me new part for my santa. And I will have a video uploaded whenever I get the part in. Now they don't have the part in yet but they said this week they were sapose to have them in but now I half to call back next week. They told me to call back so that is what I am going to do. And I am also going to make sure that nothing is missing on the part before they ship the part to me but there shouldn't be anything missing. Since the part on all of the models have all of the same wires.

Sadly I think Home Depot is the only other company selling this this year. The only other place I could suggest would be a secondary seller like Mercari but sadly you'd be over paying for it now some people don't mind but it's probably the only other option unless there's a place you can get him I don't know about yet

I mean if you for some reason do get it after Christmas it's better than not getting him at all! I would at least check Mercari and see what prices he may be listed for. He's 180 plus tax so if you can find him for maybe a little more than 200 you aren't paying much more for him.

I just got him in the mail today and mine has a switch mode on it where it will just play the music and he isnt singing just the background and he moves does yours have that?.

[@gemmybonez459]

I can see that yours is much different but regardless of some things being different I have to admit he's still cool. The American version does not have that option as far as I am concerned, but he talks and sings like you can see in the video, and he has I believe a footpad option if I am correct. I can't fully remember I would have to check again but don't take my word for it

[@theholidayshow1026]

@@gemmybonez459 And on the box for my Santa it does not say anything about telling storytelling it just sess he sings Christmas carols so there isn't anything wrong with it. It is just a differeng model. Although next year we could get the one that talks but we will see I will worry about that later on but I would still give him a 10/10.
