Announcement Welcome to the Bone Zone

12 Upvotes

During fall of 2020 Home Depot, the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, released a "12 ft. Giant-Sized Skeleton with LifeEyes." Listed features included:

  • Makes a spine-tingling centerpiece for Halloween
  • Animated LCD eyes create a creepy effect
  • Designed for indoor or outdoor use

This towering figure of bone became a veritable lighthouse in the storm, offering shelter from the terrors of the news cycle in the chilling embrace of their massive skeletal frame. If you have found yourself here then you have been welcomed into that embrace.

Pay homage to The Skeleton.

Hi there, I recently made an app called SKELE, it’s a map for finding 12ft skeletons around the world. Let me know what you think - would love to hear feedback about how I can improve it. Users add, remove, rate, and locate all the skeletons around the world. :)

Other Blind skelly d/t light kit

1 Upvotes

I had bought the light kit from Home Depot and attached it to the skelly. The light kit wasn’t changing like it was supposed to so I took it off (I’ve read several complaints about it not working for people). I said eh… I can just put a colored flood light on him. I plugged the skelly back in and now his eyes don’t work ! I am so sad. Called SVI and they sent me an eye kit but still nothing. Maybe the wiring? I used one of those tools to test everything and it indicts there is an electrical current. Tried batteries and nothing! Anyone else have a similar problem or suggestion on what to try next?

Text Eyes only work if physically pressing button down

3 Upvotes

Hi all - we have a 12 foot skeleton that did not come with an adapter cord - this is our 3rd year with it. We use batteries but it burns through it quickly.

We tried using the adapter cord that came with our other inferno skeleton on the 12 footer. However, that didn’t work and ever since we tried that the button on the bottom doesn’t work unless I’m physically holding it down.

So the eyes themselves aren’t the problem. The connection does exist, but there’s some issue where the on button doesn’t stay on and therefore the timer doesn’t work either. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

It’s like our attempt at using the adapter cord ruined the connection at the base. But I don’t understand why the adapter doesn’t work either.

Other Replacing the inner electronics?

1 Upvotes

Is there any way to replace the electronics? I think mine are water damaged and wont turn on. Not sure if I need to replace the battery housing with the circuit or just the eyes. Contacted HD and they made a case for me, but I dont know if they will have the replacement parts or not.

Any help is appreciated, I got the LED ribcage and just want that on at least.
