Crazy Bonez Pose-N-Stay Life Size 5 FT Skeleton with Realistic Posable and Movable Joints for Halloween Indoor and Outdoor Decoration

This is a very fun product. There's a lot you can do with this skeleton. The description is correct on its ability to be posed, however, there are limitations to its wrists, as in, they can only be bent to a certain extent. What I love about it, is that it can be both cute and menacing at thesame time, depending on how you use him. It does come with instructions, which I loved! The entire skeleton as a whole is well made anddurable. I found its pricing to be very acceptable for what you get. The reason I think this skeleton may be the best one on the line for Halloween, is because it doesn't break, is well priced, easy to handle and very convenient to use. As compared to other skeletons like "Bucky's Bone Yard" they look good, but they're somewhat out of proportion and very fragile in the joints that break easily unlike "Crazy Bones". And even if you get a heavy duty scientific skeleton, those things come to around $120 or so! This one is both light weight, sturdy, articulately capable and at a reasonable price! This is the kind of skeleton you could give to a 10 year old and it would take him a long time to do any damage to the joints. I'm not saying that this is a perfect prop, but it's still worth your money if you want him. Very pleased with this purchase! I would recommend him to anyone who has a love for Halloween.

Boney, as I like to call him, came neatly packaged in a nice cardboard box prominently tagged with a description stating he was fully posable. I bought Boney to hang in my garage (aka "mancave") because I thought it would be cool to have him hanging around with me and the boys.Well, I thought it would be a shame to waste him solely on the garage. So I decided to introduce Boney to my wife. Bad mistake. 20 years has taught me nada zip zilch zero nuttin about marriage or maturity....Boney had been sitting in his box in the garage hidden behind my other unattended projects. No one besides me knew he had moved in.Boney, a good 5 or so feet tall, and fully posable, needed to visit our living quarters.I decided that Boney shouldn't be forced to just stand around waiting for people to arrive home. So Boney found his way into the pocket water closet in our master bathroom. He looked so nice just sitting there on the commode. Like he was relieved... I figured my wife would come home, open the slide door, see good ol' Boney just sitting there and we'd all have a good lauguhShe came home late and used another bathroom before coming to bed. Never opened the pocket slide door. Just went into the master bath, freshened up, did her teeth and then went to bed/sleep. Silent night.... holy night.... till approx 4:30 am at which point a shrill sound that not even the most dedicated horror movie fanatic has ever heard emanated from the bathroom. At first I was bewildered. A heavy sleeper am I, but alas I was awakened quickly. Then I was reminded... shocked into recalling what was at the root of the insidious noises projecting from the torture chamber that once was my bathroom.Boney never lost his cool. ... but he did lose his head, one leg and several ribs. I too suffered loss, as the promise of any romance in the near future quickly faded along with many meals, help with chores and other household activities.Boney is made of a material that is not necessarily superglue friendly.... more experiments to come this weekend.Moral of the story: the manufacturer of this product is clearly negligent in their labeling practices and owes me an apology for failing to warm me that this item is neither wife-friendly nor wife-proof.Edit: Sept 6 2015Well... ended up being able to easily repair Boney by gently sanding the points that required glue. Superglue is doing a fantastic job of keeping everything together strongly. Just sand both sides of the repair and you'll be fine. He looks good in my garage and enjoys watching over all of my unfinished projects. Definitely a good buy! Get one!

Bought two of these last Halloween, and they worked great. It goes without saying that the day they arrived, i placed one in the downstairs bathroom against the wall, and the second in my daughters bathroom sitting on the toilet. I was in the office when she came home from school, and heard a scream as she entered the bathroom. Then i heard some muttering and swearing, and stomping up the stairs. I counted to four, then heard a scream come from upstairs. I giggled like a little school girl.These were left outside for most of the month of October, and held up well. The first was in a chair in the middle of the lawn, and the second was mounted climbing my porch support and hanging from the gutter. These held the positions for the most part, but i did have to tie some fishing line to one of the legs to keep it bent in a 'climbing' position. This was fine, as if the tension was any greater the legs would be hard to move.As others have mentioned, these will not stand on their own. You must either sit them in a chair, lean them against something or stake them in the ground. I originally had one leaning against my porch support, which it did nicely, but the wind kept blowing it over.All in all, worth the extra money as opposed to the cheaper types that break easily and/or wont hold their shape. A nice benefit is that the screws/facets are mostly on the inside, so there are really no noticeable bolts sticking out of the joints (hips, knees, elbows, etc). Not a major factor, but adds to the overall ascetics.
