Speaking Tree Man Decoration Review
What can I say other than AWESOME. I like Halloween it is my favorite holiday and this little guy is perfect for any Halloween collection. It stands about 6 feet tall without counting the antler/antenna things on the head. It has a couple of modes to get his functions going.
First off the unpacking of this monster. It is not the easiest thing in the world to unpack from the box it is shipped in. The netting likes to catch on everything. As long as you are careful and take your time getting him set up there should not be any problems.
This guy has 3 messages he says when activated. In many places there is also a creepy laughter he offers with his phrases. To get this guy talking you can press the button that is attached to the battery pack. This cord is about 6 inches long so unless you are going to stand in his back pocket it is not a viable path. The second is when you touch his face. This only requires the lightest of touches to activate. Even though this is cool to be touch activated it would have been much better as a motion detected device. Asking people to touch something over and over all asks for the guy to be broken very quickly.
The figure comes with 3 batteries already installed. This is on the back of the head and requires a screwdriver to remove the battery cover. There is a thin plastic strip on the back to pull of this pack for the batteries to make contact and work. The batteries included in this are very cheap and did not last more then a few hours. So be ready to change out the batteries if you go with on your spooky night.
Now for the antlers on top of this guy. They do not have any kind of wire to hold them into place so they will droop down and not hold in place above his head. The arms do have a small wire inside of the foam to help hold them up. Even though the arms do have the wires the hands on this guy weight a bit and drag them down unless you have the upright. If you have them out like to reach at a person they will fall to his side after a while.
The frame this guy comes on is possibly the cheapest thing to him. It is some really thin metal rods that go into a base. Much like a fake Christmas tree base. If some one was to be scared by this guy and their fight instinct kicks in, he would be done in by that 4 year old.
Overall this guy is pretty awesome for the price and a great addition to anyones ghoulish figures. I do recommend picking this guy up if you are looking for some new Halloween decor. I would like to thank TCP Global Corporation and affiliates for sending me the spooky guy to try out and share my opinion. I truly can not wait to see how the trick or treaters react to him.
