Finding a true repair method for worn out Airblown Inflatables

There has been skepticism about what the true cure to fixing worn out airblown inflatables that has been left in heat for too long, whether on display or in storage. I at first thought it was Flex Seal Clear, but seeing at how ineffective it was at restoring the fabric, that's not the case. I heard from Camden that Water Based Polyethene is what to use. It worked every time for him on his inflatables, but before I got around to doing it myself, someone told me it washes off, so now I'm COMPLETELY confused as to what the remedy to legit restore Airblown Inflatables is. All I know is that it's a water based substance of SOME kind, since Airblown Inflatables that are sulking down DO pop up when it rains. So there must be some water based product o…

What I'm going to be doing

Hi,

From now on I'm going to keep my online purchases mainly to the Dancing Hamster series, as collecting everything is a bit much. Despite this, I will still be purchasing most things, that I find out in the wild.

High Hopes for 2021... Kinda

It's January of 2021, and you know what that means: Valentines time. Of course, this year it also means that 2020 is also no longer in existence, so that's also a plus. But I'll be honest, I've been keeping a close eye on the new for 2021 Gemmy products rolling out this year and I can't lie, I'm actually pretty impressed.

I usually don't get many Gemmy valentines animatronics each year because valentines is the holiday for which they make some of their most horrendous items, be it ones that twerk, ones that sing awful songs or ones that are just plain stupid in design. But this year, it looks like they've actually got a... decent lineup for valentine's? And on a related note, I never thought I'd be able to say it after three years of a simp…

How can we help?

Hi, I'm Sannse one of the Fandom staff team. We've been looking at some of the wikis that are currently categorized as "Lifestyle". We would like to move away from lumping together so many varied wikis, and give them a more accurate category. In your case, we have classified this wiki as "Collectibles".

The hope is that with wikis grouped into smaller more focused groups, we can give better and more personalized support. For example, we can give help with wiki design, advice on search engine optimization, and generally just be around for any questions and other needs you have.

We have a short survey that will help us understand what your needs are, and where we can best focus to help you keep building your wiki. I hope you'll participate and…

Gemmy Shaking Spirits Skeleton Reaper: Restoration

Recently I began to restore one of my first ever gemmy halloween animatronics; the Shaking Spirit Skeleton. This and the 6 phrase witch version were the first gemmy halloween items I have ever possessed. They were purchased by my family around, I believe, 2005 or 2006 from Kmart. At least I think it was kmart. Well anyway, when I was much younger I was terrified of them. My grandfather was the original owner of them and he always thought I liked them when I actually was horrified of them and hated when he brought them out when I was young. Even when it wasnt halloween time, he would hang them off our deck with the sensor on and wait for something to cross by for them to activate. He loved them dearly and named the reaper 'Benny', an homage…

Gemmy Halloween 2020: Second Wave of Leaks

After our first wave of Gemmy Halloween 2020 prop leaks from the Sunstar Catalog, now comes our second from a website called Lifeandhome.com .

I saw a video posted by YT gemmy collector Gemmy the Object Thingy about a new skeleton in an outhouse.. so you can thank him for being one of the first (if not the first, someone else in the comments said they found it first) people to show that. Then I decided to fish around on their website and found some new gemmy props worthy of posting.


  • 1 Skeleton in Outhouse
  • 2 Pumpkin Candy Bowl (Big Mouth Candy Bowl Remake?)
  • 3 Witch Candy Bowl
  • 4 Lighted Eyes
  • 5 (Not Gemmy) Multicolor Lighted Bone Strands


The prop that started this all, here is the skeleton outhouse tabletop. And may I say... I love it. I may be picky wit…

Discord server link is expired; is the server still up?

I was thinking about making a Gemmy and other animated items (Dan Dee, Tekky Toys, you name it!) Discord server, but I wanted to check around first to see if one already existed. The front page of the wiki has a link to a server, but the link has expired. Does it just need an updated invite link? Or did something happen to the server? I'd just really love to join an active community/chat related to one of my biggest special interests.

2020 Life Size Jason

Surprised no one has been talking about this. Although canceled for 2019 release, we finally got to see the new life Size Jason Voorhees. According to several sources he will have eye and arm movements. No confirmation on the sound yet as he was unplugged at the expo but I’m guessing either the classic Jason audio, the audio from the mini version, or a combination of the two.

Gemmy Easter 2020: stuff to get

Yep, doing another one of these, needs no explanation, let's do it:


I know the egg droppers are horrendous but they seem to be the lesser of the evils when it comes to gemmy's astronomically terrible meme item lines like the twerkers and dabbers, which are pure cringe and aren't funny in the slightest to us collectors. But this seems to indeed be the best egg dropper we've seen this far, I like the song and the fact that it was made to look like the 2019 twisting easter t rex. 


The first easter themed snowflake spinner made by gemmy? Hell yeah I want in on that! And I like how the snowflakes were turned into jellybeans. Had I known gemmy was going to make an easter snowflake spinner I would have guessed the snowflakes would be replaced by ea…

Best and Worst Props of 2010's

I know I'm a little late on this, but I'm genuinely curious, what do you guys think are the best/worst props of the 2010's decade? It doesn't have to be in any particular order, I just want to know what your opinions are and why.

Here are my stinky takes:

Best:

Life Size Jack Skellington (2017) - I love the animation on this one. Jack sways side to side moving his jaw while clutching a fist. They didn't need to "update" it by coloring in the joints of his fingers, in fact it looks worse than it already did (and it looked fine before). Hence why it's the 2017 version. Definitely one of the most intricate items from Gemmy this decade.

Animated Skeleton Piano (2017) - The long awaited sequel to the Coffin Tapping Skeleton Hand. Instead, it plays a …

Ok, so far the two 2020 gemmy items at walmart are Twerking valentines T-rex (2020 version) and Happy shuffler dance pump fitness valentines bear, the other items from dandee and sound n light are a spinning panda, dancing llama, ear flapping elephant, animated flamingo and out of nowhere the most recent that pop up today is a animated head turing valentines frog by dandee, if there showing more items this means that there a another gemmy twerker or a dance boss item somewhere in the lineup, and this is strange because i never saw the frog before and i think that there is a another gemmy item in the lineup but it just keeping as a secret until everything is shown, so far the DPF bear is ok i give it 6/10 and the T-rex........ 3/10 because …

Things to Get List: Gemmy Valentine's 2020

So it's December 21, 4 days till Christmas, so yeah, Merry Christmas and all that, but apparently Gemmy's 2020 Valentine's lineup is beginning to unveil, and I shall now compose a list of my things to try and get for Valentine's day, Gemmy and non Gemmy I guess.. all I know is I'm excited for the first Gemmy animatronics of the new decade, 2020. Hopefully we get good stuff this year, and not just a bunch of Twerking and meme garbage.

..of course, I shall update this as we go along.


Out of all the stuff at Big Lots this year, this is the only Valentine's item that stuck out for me, everything else just looks so generic.. the dog design has been used before, the llama is 3 years old now, DanDee makes like 10 different variants of that damn spi…

Gemmy 2020; My Hopes for the New Year

So halloween is over, and it's now thanksgiving/Christmas time. I'm so miserable.. I have PHD, post halloween depression, and it's caused by waking up on November 1st, so it's unavoidable. The only way to combat it is to distract yourself by doing stupid s**t, so I figured I'd waste valuable time in my life to write a list of my hopes for Gemmy (and other companies) products in 2020. After all, We're gonna be ringing in a new decade, so why not be ambitious for it? I plan on coming back here occasionally to add ideas I get while doing nothing all day. Maybe some will come to pass, who knows?

Things to Get List: Gemmy Halloween 2019

So now that pretty much all the major stores have gotten their halloween stock in (except for Walmart and Target who are just getting rid of their back to school crap), now I think it's safe to make a bucket list of Gemmy Items to get from the retailers. So here's mine I guess...

(This will be updated when I get an item on the list or when I add another one to the list)


  • 1 Hanging Ghoul with Skull Face (Lowes, $40)
  • 2 Gotta Go Caged Skeleton (Lowes, $25)
  • 3 Hanging Pumpkin Ghoul (Target, $25)
  • 4 Small Floating Ghost (Big Lots, $16)


Ever since I saw the first Lowe's Halloween 2019 lineup video I had my designs set on this particularly. I personally am disappointed in Lowes' lineup this year, so many recycled animatronics and plus the fact that their only…

Whats your favorite and least favorite Groovin' Ghouls, Grave Ravers, Grooving Ghoulies, and Rockin' Ravers?

My favorites are the Monster that sings "Monster Mash" from 2011, the Devil that sings "This is Why I'm Hot" from 2009, both the 2008 and 2013 zombies that sing "The Way I Are" and "Live While We're Young" respectively. Some of my least favorites would probably have to be any of the plush ones, like the Mummy that sings "Thriller" from 2011 (Love Thriller though), the Werewolf that sings "Gangdam Style", and the Selfie Witch That sings "Selfie Parody". I just think they don't look as good as the ones with plastic heads and hands. My least favorite over all is probably the Monster that sings "In My Head" from 2011. I think the song is just too uncomfortably suggestive and unfitting.

Spirit Halloween Wiki

Hey there!

Have you ever heard of a certain Halloween store known as Spirit Halloween?

Here's a video to give you an idea of what they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2E8fhJtPWo.

Time for the background information! Spirit Halloween was founded in 1983, and it introduced large, mechanical Halloween-themed beings in 2008. Since then, it has been a tradition for many families to visit this store annually.

Spirit features countless animatronics from various companies, including...wait for it.... Gemmy!

Because of this, if you consider a visiting the wiki, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you, and I hope the rest of your day is a real scream! --Boot Lover/Riverdale Chauffeur (Wanna Discuss Something?) 17:52, June 19, 2019 (UTC)

At Home Halloween 2019 UPDATE: SETUP PHOTOS REVEALED

It's almost time, fellow Halloweenies!

At Home has begun stocking for Halloween 2019!!!!

IN MAY!!!

This has to be the earliest any store has ever begun stocking their shelves for Halloween. They don't have much out yet, but they have their setup photos posted up on the shelves, so we get a black and white sneak peek of what they will have in store for Halloween this year. And it's big, in more ways than one. This year, At Home is going to have the biggest, baddest lifesize they have ever had in stock for Halloween; a Dragon!!!!

Now grant you the Dragon is SVI not Gemmy, but they are going to have Gemmy stuff for Halloween anyway, just a little later. This Dragon looks so amazing! Even in black and white! It looks a little different than the sv…

Where Do You Keep Your Gemmy Items?

So I've been collecting Gemmy things for a while and when I have store all them somewhere, I find myself asking what would be the best place to store them? I keep some in the house but I mostly keep all of them in my garage. I don't know if that is bad for them or not, with the all weather changes during the seasons and everything you know? I don't want any damage done to the mechanics and electronics inside, or for the batteries to explode or something because of the that. I'm particularly concerned for some of my rarer Gemmy items, and some of my personal favorite items too, so should I remove the batteries if I keep them in the garage? I also keep the garbage in my garage (because of the HOA in my area) and I really don't want my Gemmy …

New for 2019: Lifesize Zombie GROUNDBREAKER!!!

Branimatronic again.

I just found out about a new for 2019 Gemmy Halloween item set for release later this year: the Lifesize Hlloween Zombe Groundbreaker!

Boy am I excited for this one! 

Right off the bat it reminds me of the 2017 Life size zombie that was at Lowes. I never got to see that one in person, because my Lowes never put it on display like they did the black widow or that 3' mummy they had back then, but I imagine it will be around the same size as '17 zombie dude. Since he's a groundbreaker, he is missing his legs, which are supposed to be under the ground (hence the term Groundbreaker) to make it look as though the zombie is rising from his grave. Animation wise, the prop will sway side to side and groan while his eyes blow red (…

At Home Halloween 2019 Anticipation: one month to go!

Well folks, at the time of writing this, it's May, and you know what that means: next month is June! And you know what that means: At Home, also known as the Home decor superstore, formerly known as garden ridge, is going to be stocking for the 2019 Halloween season!!!

I can barely wait for it! It's hard to believe that almost a year has passed already since we got our first in-store glimpse of Gemmy's 2018 Halloween lineup. It's hard to believe that time has already passed so fast in the new year... 2019 isn't even new anymore! We're approaching June, mid-year, and to me at least it feels like we were just searching stores for Valentine's items. Well, either way, I'm anticipating big things for this Halloween season, beginning with At Home…

The History of Wisecrack Jack

In 1998 Paper Magic Group created a Poseable skeleton mold and made 3 versions of Mr Jab R Jaw. Mr and Mrs Jab R Jaw were animated and they also made a regular poseable skeleton. They also made a small version of just the head called jabberjaw that could repeat sayings back. These 4 items were available for sale through multiple party stores and catalogs such as Oriental Trading Co.

In 2003 or 2004 Gemmy acquired the skeleton molds from PMG and made a large version of their drinking skeleton. Around this time Gemmy made an animated candy bowl using the skeleton head although it now had pop out eyes and a tongue. We know this was a Gemmy product due to the different phrases and Sams Club Gemmy box. Gemmy would go on to use both versions of t…

Attention Animatronic Creators: WE NEED ST PATRICK'S ITEMS!

Yep, it's me again.

How that Valentine's has passed by, now it's St Patrick's Day time. Oh wait, that's right, it's not, it's Easter time, because animatronic companies don't really make st Patrick's items anymore. Why though? Why was St. Patrick's left out? And this goes for all animatronic companies. Gemmy, DanDeeDanDee, Sound N Light, all of them. Nobody can make a simple dancing leprechaun, or singing clover or something? WHY? 

DanDee made a dancing leprechaun at Wal-Mart last year. To my knowledge, it sold well, so I hope it's available again this year. But that's it! Nothing else animated for St Patrick's Day. I guess it's because there's not a wide variety of characters associated with the day. Leprechauns and four lead clovers are th…

New for 2019 Twisting Valentine's T-Rex REVIEW

Hi, Branimatronic again. 

This time i'm blabbering about the new Valentine's Twisting T Rex from CVS, sold for $20; also known as my favorite valentines item for 2019.

So, where to begin? Well, obviously this is a valentines remake of the Christmas Twisting T Rex made last year in 2018. It has the same appearance of the christmas one, only this one holds a big heart in its hands that reads 'I CHEWS you!' (Nice wordplay Gemmy, 👏👏). But unlike the original, this one doesn't sing Twist and Shout, it sings 'You're the One That I Want', which some think is unfitting for this item but I think its great. I never liked or fully watched Grease but this song doesn't bother me because it goes well on a Valentines item. Unlike Baby Got Back or its Going…

New for 2019 LICENSED HORROR LIFESIZES!

Hi, Branimatronic again, and i just want to share how excited I am that Gemmy industries is releasing new Licensed horror film lifesizes... could this be the return of the old Gemmy? A lifesize Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street) and Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) were first teased on morriscostumes.com, but were not seen at the Halloween and party expo. Though a photoreal freddy and jason inflatables were present, animated lifesizes were not featured, and were apparently canceled, but now on the Gemmy Archives.com, a lifesize freddy and jason are listed under 2019 lifesizes. I hope they get released as animated lifesizes and not just inflatables... but 2 confirmed lifesizes are Pennywise the *Dancing* Clown (Stephen King's IT) and …
