Late reply but I just want to ensure justice is done, better late than never

Why in God's name is Betty sharp on this list

Jumping bug gang

Evelyn Leech never sold great among non-haunters because (hot take) she's not a good animatronic and maestro idk, to be honest maestro is one of the best 2020 animatronics for Spirit with a unique concept, decent movement and solid disturbing factor, I feel like people just sort of stopped giving a damn about him after 2020

Bog zombie

We need a mothman animatronic

Remove betty sharpe, betty sharpe is bad

They probably held off on it this year so that they can have it for 2023/market it as a 10 year anniversary remake like they did with charlie

Interesting design but vastly overpriced for what it is and does which ruins it for me

Jumping Spider or sitting scarecrow

Not just 2014 evil scientist, any scientist at all would have been appropriate.. how Spirit never fails to make sure none of their props fit the theme they're in amazes me, especially considering they literally released a mad scientist animatronic earlier this year and still didn't think to bring it in stores for a literal lab theme

Ngl though og mad scientist is better than illume, they definitely should have brought him back especially knowing well In advance they were doing a laboratory this year

People who dont know and stand too close:

Adding an "all of them" option is basically cheating lol

I don't get how tricycle doll and ghost girl made it to this list but Betty Sharp and Mommy's favorite did not

Nothing beats a classic

Hell yeah gotta get me some underpants with a 3 year old Clown animatronics likeness plastered onto them

Man there's no way Stolen Souls won out over the OG Cauldron Witch

Damn looking back on it spirit really churned out some solid Zombie animatronics back in the days, sad how we went from greats like Smoldering Zombie Lurching Zombie and twitcher to.. whatever the hell Spike is

I'm split between Caged Beast and wolf spitter.. nah, no I'm not, Caged Beast all the way,

But to be honest I would love to see all of them return for sure with the exception of wolf rug, because wolf rug is incredibly boring, and I don't think I'd even group it with other legit full-sized Werewolf animatronics at all.. but yeah, hell, I'd even enjoy a surprise pop up werewolf return

I think this was probably Spirit's worst lineup to date.. a few animatronics are really cool but most of them flopped

Mr Punchy is a unique idea ruined by unnecessary glow wire lights in the face that make his head look like a $3 five below mask

Possessed Pumpkin had massive potential but was made a joke out of with that horrific audio (spooky guy444 put it best, they took this big, menacing monster and made it sound like cookie monster)

Deadly Creeper is boring

Bag O' Bones is horrifically overpriced

Nozzles is another unique idea but the scariest thing about him is his price tag

Betty Sharpe is a literal static doll with some red paint splattered on its face, with barely noticeable movement and a monstrously inflated price tag

Young Crouchy has no reason to exist

Lil' Skelly is an insult to the original and a waste of a bring-back prop

Monty's animation is painfully slow and his screeches should have been louder

Regan has awful audio and should have had mouth movement but is otherwise alright

Tombstone Terror isn't that bad especially for the price but admittedly it is boring

But I always give credit where it's due, we had some home-run hits this year as well,

Lord Raven is solid, The arm movement looks kinda awkward to me but it's not bad at all

Bog Zombie is awesome, my absolute favorite for this year

Lucky Bottoms has great audio and he's pretty disturbing

The strawman is better than Grim and should have been more than a filler

The widow is disturbing as hell and should not have been online only

I'm not trying to hate on Spirit or anything, I'm well aware this year's flops were probably largely due to circumstances beyond their control like shipping delays and inflation, but this year has been more fails than wins in my opinion
