How do I pre-order an item? Some out of stock items are available for Pre-Order and are noted as such on the product detail page, along with their estimated in-stock date. Just add the product you want to pre-order to your cart and check out as usual. We will ship the item to you when the pre-order item becomes available. Your credit card will be charged when order is placed.

 Can my animatronic be used outdoors? Most of our animatronics are recommended for indoor use only. Some do state that they can be used outdoors as long as it is set up in a covered space where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures, rain, or dew. If exposed to these elements the life and quality of your prop may be affected.

We recommend that you read the instructions for your prop carefully to find out if it is recommended by the manufacturer for outdoor use.

 Do all of your animatronics come with an adapter? No. Some of our animatronics are battery operated only. Please read the product description page of the animatronic carefully and it will tell you whether or not the adapter is included. Do your costumes run big or small? Most of our costumes run smaller than the standard clothing size. If you think that you are between two sizes we suggest selecting the bigger size. We also have a 14 day return policy, so if you are still unsure you can purchase both sizes to try on and return the size no longer needed for a refund.

I was able to add the product to my cart, but it disappeared when I went to check out. Well...unfortunately, our website is not always capable of refreshing as quickly as we would like. So even though an item may say it is available, if you can't add the item to the cart, the item is out of stock. How do I pre-order an item?

Animatronics Guide

Can my animatronic be used outdoors? Most of our animatronics are recommended for indoor use only. Some do state that they can be used outdoors as long as they are set up in a covered space where they are not exposed to extreme temperatures, rain, or dew. If exposed to these elements the life and quality of your prop may be affected.
We recommend that you read the instructions for your prop carefully to find out if it is recommended by the manufacturer for outdoor use. Do all of your animatronics come with an adapter? No. Some of our animatronics are battery operated only. Please read the product description page of the animatronic carefully and it will tell you whether or not the adapter is included. Can the Universal Footpad Activator be used with all animatronics? No. The footpad activator can only be used with select products. Please check the product description of the animatronic to see if the footpad activator is listed as an option of activation for the prop. Are all your animatronics both sound and motion activated? Unfortunately not all of our animatronics are both sound and motion activated. Some of our props are only limited to one or the other. Please review the product description for the prop to determine how the item can be activated. My animatronic is not working as anticipated.
  • Turn the prop off then disconnect the form of power (remove the batteries or unplug the product). Check the instructions to make sure all pieces and wires are properly connected. Reconnect the prop to its power source and turn it back on to see if it is now functioning properly.
  • You may also want to check and make sure the sensor is clear of obstructions. Sometime the fabric of the prop may get in the way. Also, props relying on a motion sensor need to be placed in a well lit area. If the prop is set in shadows with no definite way to sense a break in the light, it may not function as anticipated.

Costume Sizing Guide

Do your costumes run big or small? Most of our costumes run smaller than the standard clothing size. If you think that you are between two sizes we suggest selecting the bigger size. We also have a 14 day return policy, so if you are still unsure you can purchase both sizes to try on and return the size no longer needed for a refund. The size I need is listed on the size chart, but I am unable to select it. The size chart provided is a general chart supplied by the vendor for the sizing of their products. There may be sizes listed on the chart that we currently do not sell in the item you are looking at. To see what sizes are available please view the options present in the 'Select a Size' box. What does tween mean? Tween sizing is for children who are a little too big to fit our kid size costumes but not big enough to fit in the teen sized costumes.
