TD510 TORSO DROP FLAILER PoisonProps.com

The Poison Props TD510 Torso Drop Flailer is a commercial-grade pneumatic animatronic that conceals a torso character overhead before dropping it down suddenly with wildly flailing arms to startle passing patrons. The unit ships as a plug-and-play package, including the character, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, and a motion sensor, along with a complete audio package featuring a digital player, powered speaker, and scream effect. It mounts via a bracket that slides onto the top of a standard maze wall, requiring only AC power and a compressed air supply at approximately 100 psi to operate. Interchangeable character heads allow haunt operators to customize the look to match any theme.

DPF833 Drop panel flyer PoisonProps.com

This short product showcase from Poison Props highlights the DPF833 Drop Panel Flyer, a commercial-grade animatronic that conceals a character behind a wall until a panel drops and launches the figure flying overhead at roughly eight feet. The prop features flailing arms and a side-to-side head movement, driven by a pneumatic scissor rig that mounts directly on top of maze walls. The package ships as a fully plug-and-play unit, bundling the character, pneumatics, a programmed controller, motion sensor, digital audio player, powered speaker, and a scream effect. Only a compressed air supply and standard AC power are needed to run it.
