Member's Mark 10 foot Skeleton Arch Review

We have contacted the manufacturer SVI and they have informed us that it does in fact have 6 spooky phrases and that ours is defective. This part is out of stock and no ETA. Will probably return to Sam’s and order another. We do like this animatronic but let’s hope this issue isn’t a sign of things to come.

UPDATE: We received the replacement today (8/24/24) and the box was in bad shape. I opened it up and assembled the necessary parts to get the unit to work properly. Unfortunately the replacement only says 3 phrases as well. So either SVI and Sam’s aren’t telling the truth or I received 2 defective items 🤔 What do you think? Ill keep you posted

Latest UPDATE: The manufacture/distributor SVI contacted me back about the "6 spooky phrases". Here is what they said: "Perhaps it may be that some of the phrases are only a sentence long. For example, it starts with - "Welcome, Do not be afraid, your time has come." That counts as one phrase. Phrase 2 - "Better keep moving fast so I don't catch you! 3 - Hahahaha." 4 - Don't you just love the deep dark dead of night? When your imagination runs wild?" 5 - " Do not panic, run along with me and I will guide your way." 6 - "You look tired my friend, please take a seat by my side and have a rest I will watch over you while you sleep."

So they are claiming that the 3 sayings are actually 2 in 1 which make no sense. If you look at other animatronics a phrase is when it start to speak and then stops = 1 phrase. Example is another one of their products sold by Home Depot - 7 ft. Animated Lethal Lily Witch. She is listed to have 7 phrases. So if you look her phrases up on youtube you'll see her long phrases are all considered as 1 pharse and she does have 7 from her starting to speak to her stopping is 1.... BUT somehow this skeleton has 2 in 1 which = 6... lolol .. False advertising 100%
