IVG1212 IV Grabber PoisonProps.com

The IVG1212 IV Grabber from Poison Props is a commercial pneumatic animatronic designed for haunted attractions and dark rides. The figure portrays a hunched character gripping an IV stand who then rises, twitches, raises an arm, and screams — a classic still-to-life startle scare. It ships complete with the character, pneumatics, a programmed controller, and a motion sensor, with an optional audio package available. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for tight corridor spaces or alcove placements.
