Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

When I first bought this witch, she was a little hard to assemble, her hat would not stand up, and her broom completely fell to pieces. but, we had constructed a new broom for her and it stands out wonderfully. over the years, we got use to putting the witch together, and she is an amazing addition to my Halloween crowed. Her quality is amazing and the affect of her eyes at night are breath taking. Overall, she is a wonderful prop, and we will continue to enjoy her many years to come.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Yes, the stand is pretty much useless; I use a long dowel twist-tied to a fencing stake. And it's definitely not weatherproof - I always take it in if it's going to rain. The materials are pretty cheap; the broom is not the best, and I had to stuff the hat to make it stand up. I've used mine (carefully) for three Halloweens now, however, and have had no real problems with it. I put a fogger behind mine with a green spotlight on the face, and it looks pretty amazing in the dark. Well worth the extra effort and care required to keep it in good shape; I'm tempted to get another one as a backup. The switch for the eyes (and the battery compartment) is in the back of the head under the hair.

The with looks great if you can arran ge her wirey arms. Her eyes glow/blink on and off red. very visible from road. I could not finf where the battery was hidden at first. Finally found it along with on/off switch on the back of the head under the glued on hat.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This is the second witch I purchased due to us really liking her! She stands out and is perfect for our front yard. I do not leave her out when it is raining...I box her up carefully when Halloween is over. I put a light blue spot light on her and she is wicked all the way!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Terrible quality! This witch would surely blow away with only a puff of wind. I wanted to use it on my front porch, but there is no way. I'm usually very easy to please, but this product is thumbs down all the way.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Just got it in the mail today ... not too happy ... tried putting it together ... the head popped off, have to glue back together ... and the broom doesn't fit together. Definately wouldn't have bought it in a store.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I bought this witch even though I read all the bad reviews. To be honest, I could not find anything else like it, so I took a chance. I can not find the on/off switch for the eyes. Can anyone help me? I laugh because how hard can it be to find that, yet I can not. Like the other reviews - the boom falls apart every time you touch it, as does the hair. I am still hopefull, and was under the impression I would need to do some fix-ups if I use this again next year. I am in the process of using a dowl rod (purchased from [...] in the Millwork area) for a stand. Someone suggested that in an earlier comment. We will see how that goes as far as a stand. If that does not work - this witch can sit very nicely in a chair. Either way, this witch is scary looking and should do the trick on Halloween. I have kept her inside and will put her outside on nice nights once I have a stand in place. In the meantime if anyone can help me with the eyes/lights I would greatly appreciate it! I would recommend this to a friend as long as they know the arms are wire, the body is styrofoam as well as the face and the hair/broom fall apart. It would be up to them at that point if they want to venture into this purchace or not.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I love the look of this witch. The dress, broom, hat and hair are very cheap material. I decided to replace the hair with a childrens halloween wig and a childrens witch hat from a discount store (overall about [$]). The stand is worthless, don't waste your time. After the first year I replaced the broom and her dress with items I bought in an after halloween sale for a few bucks. So if you buy this product, you should plan to replace some things or it will only last one season!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Bought this witch last year with the "tripod" stand. It was poorly glued together & you could see glue everywhere on the witch. The stand was so flimsy that unless the witch was up against a wall, it would fall over. The eyes do not glow like the picture shows. They are tiny little lights that barely glow red. The black dress material was cheap and so was the broom. The whole thing was trash. Sent it back.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Was awesome in the house, could not use stand which broke right away, able to put out halloween...but had to rescue because of rain. Got lots of compliments on product presentation and was easy for compact storage. All and all a good buy, but forget the stand-useless

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Dye came off on hands and clothes when unpacking from shipment.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Looks cool; Good price; Does not come with stand (used dowel rod and 'stuck' her sitting on straw bail); dress is a felt-like paper and tears easy; even if she only lasts a couple of years, price is right for what you get

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I was very disappointed at the quality of the witch, in the picture on the website she looks very sturdy and well made, I couldn't even get her to sit up straight. She is made of mainly cloth and even though I hung her up by the toggle on her hat, her hat ripped, making her fall down and now her eyes do not light up. So I feel very annoyed that I spent so much money for two days of scariness. Her broom is very badly made, and falls apart every time you touch it.. also her hat looks totally different than on the photo, I am one very disappointed customer.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Used it outside our front door for our Halloween party and it was a hit - She is great. Thank you.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The witch looks realistic and I would consider this a great Halloween product. I hung her on the staircase and all the kids were scared by her appearance. I'm happy I bought this product and may it part of my Halloween collection.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Even after hanging the witch in a sheltered area, her hat drooped over her face, the material was nasty and got black all over your hands when trying to arrange the skirt - really not worth the cost or trouble.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The cape rips easily, hair falls out, packaged badly, broom is cardboard, and broom was broken from packing. Over all, very disapointing!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I would not recommend this to anyone. The face came with a chip. I still can't find where to put the batteries. I wanted new decorations for our yard and received something that looks like it MIGHT make it this year only. Hair is short and half of what is in the photo. Same for the broom. It looks like they used the missing hair for the broom. Head is very small. Dress is made of paper with gauze top. Not at all what I wanted.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

When the witch arrived the broom was all over the box, but Lillian Vernon was quick to send a new one, but the only problem is the bristles are so bent and bare on the stick that it was not useable. Witch brooms are easy to get during the season, will replace next year. Disappointed that the eyes don't glow as bright as the picture shows, but all for all though nice touch for Halloween. I sat her in a rocking chair.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I place my scary witch in my front stairs, I create my own stand and I spray it with hair spray to keep the water out. When is raining I cover her with a plastic bag. So far so go. It look amaizing!!! My chihuahua is very scare, she dont even go to my front lawn, that means my witch meet her purpose. I am very happy with it!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I wanted to have her outside, but after falling over twice I decided to put her inside. When she got wet, she bleed black! What a mess she made. Her under dress is torn, but you can't see it. I've always had good luck with your products, so I was a little disappointed.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Item was crammed into box, the broom is permanetly ruined from packaging, brim from hat was hanging around her head, dress is just paper that tears way to easily, I had to buy a new hat and wig for her and create a stand so she doesn't blow away, broom weighs too much sort of pulls her over to the side.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

DO NOT BUY - THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK!

Enclosed with the product is a warning to use it only in a sheltered area not subject to wind or rain and to bring it indoors during inclement weather. That warning should be in the catalog & on-line description and the product should not be sold as outdoor decor.

The "gown" is made of paper and the broomstick is not made of wood.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I think you should describe the material product is made of. I thought it was poorly made. Was not at all happy with product! Broom fell apart, dress tore easily when trying to put it up, fingers broke.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I returned this item because her face was made of a weird type styrofoam that could easily be dented. He hair & broom bristles were messy and fell out all over the floor. I couldn't find her battery pack after I was told by a representative it was under her neck line and it was actually on the back of her head. I had to rip the "construction paper" type material off of her head to find it. Not a good quality at all!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I opened the witch and instantly had bunches of it's hair fall to the ground. The broom fibers were all over my kitchen floor. The witch looks cartoon-ish rather than scary. I also didn't see below the "add to cart" button that you had to order the stand seperately-but I now read that it was flimsy anyway. I couldn't find directions either and am going on the other readers troubles to learn to live with the piece.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This was not as nice as described. Very little to the body & does not stay up on the stand without adding additional support. I was disapointed in the materials for the head and it was difficult to find the location for the batteries. Added additional support and stuffing. Sits nice in a chair, but not for the yard !!! Porch or indoor only. Forget the stand. It does not hold the witch up very well. As for the eyes, you can hardly see them glow.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The problem is the wobbly stand, I tried securing on a front porch with fishing line, ties, etc and she still keeps blowing over. It would be better on a square, flat stand that you could stabilize with putting weights on it. On/Off switch for the eyes cannot be found, I have to keep popping out one of the batteries in order to save battery life.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I was not satisfied at all with this product. [...] While adjusting the witch, the styrofoam head came off. This product should not cost as much as it does. It is very poorly made and I am very disappointed.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Loved the items so much we kept it even though it didn't work. [...] Still cool but would have loved to see the eyes light up.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I wouldn't have purchased this had I known it was going to be so cheaply made. Hardly stands itself up, even with the extra purchase of the base! Couldn't find where to put the batteries, had to cut the back of the neck to get to the compartment...no directions. Broom missing top part of the handle. Do not buy!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Body made of paper and gauze, can not be used where it will get wet. Broom does not stay together. It is scary looking and eyes light up. Not worth the money because it is paper and will not last long.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

[...] Even without eye lighting up scared eveyone that came upon her and was even better with the new one,stepdaughter said it scare the you know what out of her!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This witch is not what I expected at all. There is barely any hair on her and the few strands she does have is hard to lay right. The broom was missing completely and it was hard to find the battery compartment, which by the way is on the back of the witches head. I bought it before it went on sale and am dissapointed about that. She certainly was not worth [$].

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This product fell apart upon unpacking from box. Hair and broom bristles constantly falling out. The hat (which the witch hangs from) ripped off after one day.
I felt like I paid way too much for a product of such poor quality.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Love the look, but the broom comes apart too easy.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This witch is really, really creepy!!! Just great for Halloween. It's somewhat messy to set up, but not a big deal if you do it outside or in the garage. The batteries are in the back of the head which isn't obvious and directions aren't included. I'd say this would not weather rain or wind very well. I'm glad I bought it. Bwaa Haa haa haaaa...

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Cheaply made but ok. Not quite like the picture. The hair is not as long and I have had to fix the hat. Finding were the batteries go was difficult to begin with. Eyes glow nicely. broom is shorter than in the picture. Overall I am glad I got it on sale but I have not been anywhere as disappointed as other people.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I am extremely disappointed with this product! Not only is the witch flimsy, it came with a small piece of paper enclosed in the package stating "the witch should be hung or placed on our display stand" - which is not disclosed when you look at the product online or purchase the product. When I tried to find a display stand, they no longer carry it - UNBELIEVABLE! Don't buy this!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The witch is mainly gauze and heavy paper. The hair is stiff straw and falls out at every touch. [...] There are no instructions, so finding the on/off switch and battery compartment also took a call to the company. Too much time to operate takes away time from decorating!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The item is cheaply made for the money. Her hair contained like 5 pieces and was not full and long like pictured. The broom was a mess and fell apart. It took me forever to locate the battery pack (which is behind her head) and then it did not even lite up!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

not happy at all

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Her head disconnected from her body in the first few days...the stand is ver flimsy

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

the first day the witch was set up the plastic legs broke off the stand even though it was secured. the top of the pole did not fit tight enough to hold it in place - sorry i boughtit

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I thought that I would love this witch. But the nightmare started this morning. I was able to assmeble the witch in no time but could not find the switch for the "light up eyes". I called the service hotline and was told that I would remove the felt by the neck. I did and still could not find the switch. My husband found the switch on the head. But the switch never did work. My floor was black from the paint. I spend one hour cleaning the floor. Wasted a roll of paper towels. This witch will be in a yard sell soon. This was a waste of $. DO NOT BUY THIS WITCH!!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

it is very nice and my grandaughter was spooked by it, so it did it's job

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

i was dissapointed to see that the witch was very cheaply made and packed. The hair was nothing like the picture and fell out all over the place, the broom did not fit together and was twisted in the wrong direction that made the stand fall over. It was a good price but i would rather a decoration that looks better

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Traditionally, we set up my front lawn as a giant cemetary; I add new pieces each year, and get 200+ trick-or-treaters. When I saw this witch on the website, I was excited that she was soo scary looking. However, I am rather dissappointed that the picture I saw was not an accurate depiction of the product I received. My witch was rather crumpled when I got her, and the stand is really not stable. I will have to secure it when I station her in my front yard. I am also unhappy that she does not have much hair, nor is the broom as full as shown in the picture. With this said, I pride myself in being a creative, crafty person, and I am confident that with minor alterations and a bit more stuffing, she will look amazing under my strobe lighs. The price certainly was right!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

With a little help the witch is a nice addition to our halloween decor. I used my Christmas tree stand since the stands were sold out. It works out great. It need a wig which wasn't too hard to attach. Glad it was only [$]. It certainly could not withstand the elements but is fine on our front porch.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Even with the drawbacks, I still like the witch and she looks good on my porch. She needs to be under cover or would not withstand rain or other weather issues. Took the broom bristles off and adapted with a nicer broom I already had from a witch costume.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Unlike most I had no issues installing the batteries, all you have to do is look in the back of the head and the compartment is visible. Cloth is holding up very well, however, broom is falling apart. I did buy the stand and it works fine. This is the second season she is out on the front porch. At this sale price (30% off) I am picking up a second for my front foyer.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I was so dissapointed that the battery pack to light up her eyes didn't come inside the witch.[...]

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I bought this witch for Halloween 2006. It was my first "life size" decoration. I was pleased with this overall. Yes, it was crumpled into the box and had to be shaped and worked with to get the best presentation, but it is that way with most decorations. Mine was missing part of the broom prop but I just added one I already had that looked better anyway. I only put it out a day or two before Halloween and would not keep out in the weather. Great for the $, [...]

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Hard to find batteries, mine came with no stand, and just cheap material/paper

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

had to cut material in back of head to install batteries broom bristles fall out but i still love her and so do the kids she may not last for ever but the price was worth it

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

VERY DISAPPOINTED!! The legs on the stand broke only after standing for 5 minutes in the garage. I couldn't find where the batteries were to be installed b/c directions were not included AND my broom handle will not stay in to the top half.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This witch fit in perfectly with my office Halloween decorations. Set up is easy. The face is super scary and the blinking eyes attract attention. It is just what I wanted.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

After reading all of the negative reviews about this witch, I was a little nervous when she arrived, but once I put her together, and did a little work on her, she looks AWESOME!! The only real problem I had was that her hat was all crumpled up, but I cut open a small area in the back and stuffed it to make it stand up, I sewed that back up and then for the brim of the hat which was crumpled up too, I used my needle and thread and sewed it upwards to make it stand off of her face. It took a little bit of time, but the end results made it worth it. All things considered, she looks very spooky, and if she lasts, I'll use her year after year!!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I found that this piece is very creepy looking and a big decoration. [...] If you use it inside, and take care of it, it is a wonderful addition to my decor.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

First of all, this is a [$] decoration and I have seen comparable products for twice as much, same quality or less. Yes, it may blow over as will any of your Halloween decor if it gets windy enough. I secured the head to an OOK hook attached to my porch in case this happens. It looks good to me and my neighbors are all asking me where I got this, how cool it looks,etc. As far as the LED lights - the compartment is in the back of the head, just move the black material a little to the side and there you go! Not that difficult at all. I love my witch and I got the cauldron and that is cool too!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

After I was finally able to get the batteries in (had to call the company to figure out where they go) my hands were covered in black paint residue. I then realized that my kitchen floor (where I took it out of the box) was also covered with this stuff. Spent at least an hour and two rolls of paper towels to get the floor clean. I can only imagine what would happen if it got wet. DO NOT BUY.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I really regret buying this item. I ignored the other reviews and should have listened to them. The materials used are very cheap. The dress is made of paper and was tearing as I tried to remove her from the packing box. The best part is the metal stand. [...]

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I did buy the stand and it broke before I even used the thing, but I planned on building my own heavy duty stand anyway. It was a trick to find where the batteries got for the eyes, there was nothing in the box to explain anything!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Aftere building a working cauldron she looks great with her broom acting as a paddle as she stirs up a pot of boiling babies, the kids will love this new addtition to my numouros displays in my front yard and throughout my haunted house

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I bought this witch last year and she didn't make it to halloween. The tri pod fell over all the time .She was on a porch but the rain got to her anyway,and she is not water proof.The dress is made of paper and fabric,the paper rips easily.sorry i paid full price.might get a new one to replace her ,i miss her sooooo.you do need to give her a stronger hat.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Not worth the money

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Stand broke when assembling! Witch's eyes/hands and hair look cool.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I was very disappointed in the quality of the witch. I was looking forward to use the witch to decorate my house outdoors but will now use it indoors.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

Would highly recommend this produce to complete your haunted house!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

FOR THE MONEY IT IS A NEAT PROP. HOWEVER IT IS NOT ONE THAT WILL HOLD UP FOR MORE THAN 1 SEASON 2 AT THE VERY MOST. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BROOM IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEW ABOUT THE HAT. YOU MUST REWORK ALOT ON THIS LADY. BUT AGAIN FOR THE MONEY$$$$ IT'S STILL A BARGAIN, BUT BEWARE SHE DOESN'T TRAVEL WELL. AND IT LOOKS BETTER IN THE PICTURE...

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The bad: it comes with NO instructions. The batteries are impossible to install. I had to call the company to find out where the battery holder was located. The good: It is life like in size, very cool looking. The eyes light up.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The witch looks very realistic, and the glowing eyes are bright. However, it is cheaply made as noted by the previous reviewer -- definitely not worth the price I paid. She will need to be used indoors due to her lightweight materials and flimsy stand that falls over easily. The battery compartment is extremely difficult to locate and then fill with batteries. The witch will look great on Halloween peering out of our front window or standing on the porch if the weather permits. I'd recommend shopping around for a different, more durable witch for Halloween decorating.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

its not the greatest but for the price its cool..if i can find where the battery pack is...get the stand ..just tape it so poles stay together during moving...

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

There was not enough hair and her hat was very poor quality. I trimmed her hair shorter and put on another hat. She looks good from a distance.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The witches nose is broke and the battery compartment cannot be found. Hair on witch and bristles on broom are very scarce. Not like the picture. The cauldron will not keep the water as the plug will not fit snug. Very cheap.

Sorry, but I am returning.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

This was low quality & the stand breaks easily. The broom is flimsy.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

I bought this product last year to display on the front porch of my house for the holiday.........granit to say it was a "big hit" with the neighbors and the trick or treaters, they could not help but approch the display & and touch it for them selves.........VERY spooky looking. I would recamend this product to every one .They will be the hit of the neighborhood.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Wicked Witch with Light-Up Eyes:

The batteries are in a difficult spot. The broom is flimsy and falls apart easily. The stand broke the first time a strong wind blew across the porch. This looks great at night with the glowing eyes but it really needs to be kept inside. The weather fades it quickly. The hat needs stuffed with material or it lies flat. This is a great idea but it doesn't hold up well outdoors.
