DPC704 Drop Portrait Clown PoisonProps.com

Poison Props showcases the DPC704, a plug-and-play pneumatic animatronic featuring a clown hidden behind a drop portrait. When triggered by a motion sensor, the portrait falls to reveal the clown, whose torso thrusts forward while the head articulates side to side and up and down, with hands grabbing outward. The complete package includes the character, wall-mounted portrait unit, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, and a full audio system with scream effects. Setup requires only an AC power source and a compressed air supply at 100 PSI.
