Let me start by saying these skeletons are HALLOWEEN GOLD for the price. I've used them both indoors and outdoors, and they definitely add that creepy factor we all want for spooky season.
The 36" big guys are my favorite - their joints actually move better than I expected! I've posed one sitting on my porch bench holding a fake cocktail (spooky happy hour, anyone?) and another peeking creepily from behind a tree. The movable jaws are a nice touch for creating different expressions.
Now the 16" mini skeletons? GENIUS. The included lanyards make them perfect for hanging from trees or windows. I've got one dangling from my chandelier that scares me every time I walk into the dining room - mission accomplished!
BUT... quality control seems hit or miss. Like other reviewers, one of mine arrived with a slightly bent rib cage (though it actually adds character). The plastic feels durable enough for seasonal use, but I wouldn't trust these in heavy wind storms.
Pro tip: The joints don't always hold poses perfectly - use clear fishing line to help maintain those creepy positions! And yes, the little ones somehow end up being the stars of the show.
For under $30? Absolute steal compared to Halloween store prices. Just inspect them when they arrive and maybe buy early in case you need replacements.
