Default Oriental Trading

Has anyone seen/used this skelly before.

I want to know if it is a "full" set of bones or not?

My 6, soon to be 7 year old is having a pirate party and we would like a pirate skeleton, preferably something that speaks (or something) I can put music behind, etc. to greet guests.

It's a simple hanging prop. Definitely not worth $80 to me. IMHO

I'd say that what you see is what you get. Just the skull, partial chest and hands are skeleton looking. the rest is most likely filler/foam/wire. Most likely wire frame with cloth covering it.

I personally rate this as a $20 retail prop at most.

I have a goul similar to that. Mine has a head attached to a chest/back and strings out the shoulders to hold hands plus strings out the bottom to hold lower leg/feet.

I have used them two years ago for the candy. I have to say I got them pretty fast BUT...... the Cherry-Filled Gumball Eyes are no more then a gumball and not filled with "ooze cherry-flavored “blood” as they have in the picture. If anything you really had to look hard just to see if anything was inside and you could not even tell it was to look like a eye at all. Just a gumball.......lol I also got the witches worts candy and almost all the small,very small bags were broken open. Now the zots were ok.

LTScare, I think that joseph315 was talking about the quality of goods from Oriental Trading in general, not about the skeleton in specific.

I could be wrong though, that happens frequently....just ask my hubby!

Yeah you are right. Sorry I should have said more but had to type and run. My wife order somethings from them too but ran into some of the same problems where the item was not as it was listed. Out of 5 orders only one they got right.

Cool ... and I agree. You need to be VERY selective about buying from Oriental Trading. Lot's of junk there.
