Third skeleton, first one that stayed up
The two big-box ones before this folded at the hips by week two. This one has an actual spine. Posed him leaning on the fence and he held it through two rainy nights.

Seven feet of articulated bone that holds a pose and holds the ground.

Static, poseable, indoor-outdoor
A full-size poseable skeleton in aged-bone resin over a steel frame, 84 inches from skull to toe. Stake it into the front lawn, bend it into whatever it was doing when the neighbors weren't looking, and it holds that pose. Built for the graveyard scene out front, but it stands just as well inside a garage haunt.
It's UV-stable resin, tinted that dirty ivory with the darker wash sitting in the ribs and joints. Sun is what chalks out the cheap ones. This one is built to come off the lawn the same color it went on.
Twenty-six inches at the shoulders, fourteen deep, 12.4 pounds on the scale. One person carries it out to the lawn and stands it up without a second pair of hands. The stakes handle the rest.
Bare bone, jaw a little open, amber in the eye sockets, and that's the whole effect. No motor lunging at anyone. It's the skeleton the six-year-olds still walk past to get to the candy, and the one their parents stop to photograph. Nothing to plug in, so it goes wherever the stakes hold.
Halloween night it's the first thing headlights catch when the cars slow down, and it's still standing after the wind has had its way with the inflatables down the street. November first, pull the four stakes, bend the arms and legs in, and lay it on a garage shelf. Steel spine, so next October it's the same skeleton. Ships from a US warehouse, 5 to 7 business days.

Came with real stakes instead of the wire pins everything else ships with. My husband laughed at how overbuilt they are. That's the point.
Joints are tight out of the box — work them a little before posing. After that he holds a lantern at full arm extension, which is what I bought him for.
