Waving Wally was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2019 Halloween season. It resembled a happy vintage clown. It wore a black and white jumpsuit with three red pom-poms, white gloves, a polka-dotted red, white, and black hat, with large black clown shoes. When activated, it waved its right arm back and forth, as the nose and eyes flickered to spooky phrases.
Spirit Halloween’s Description[]
“Being the circus greeter for years, Waving Wally looks like a friendly clown, but you better think twice before you get too close. He spent years and years at the circus just trying to become a juggler, but they constantly told him he’d never be good enough. This waving clown is filled with rage, and he uses his fake smile to draw in bystanders. He left the circus, but he still comes around on the darkest of nights to get his revenge. So we’re warning you, you better stay away!
This six-foot Waving Wally animatronic stands static while waving his right hand. His empty stare and red LED lights will terrify all of your guests, leaving them to question the intentions of every clown they come in contact with from here on out.”

Trivia[]
- The prototype of the animatronic that has an unreleased 4th phrase, along with having a faster-moving arm, was set up at The Flagship Store.
- The unreleased phrase is "Come with me to the big top, we will have such a fun time, I love to play games, I know the back way into the tent, I will show you the way, come with me."
- One week after The Flagship Store opened, the prototype was removed, and replaced with the released version.
- The Talking Clown Door Knocker appears on the front of the train to the right of this animatronic in the official demonstration video and in the sneak peek.
- This was the first Spirit Halloween exclusive animatronic new of 2019 to become available for purchase.
- Though not originally intended to be included in the front theme, this animatronic was used as a placeholder for the Pennywise (2019) animatronic in the S.S. Rip Tide display in several stores that opened early.
- Though not documented in Spirit Halloween's official description, one of the animatronic's phrases includes only maniacal laughter and no spoken words.
- Despite the fact that most Seasonal Visions props run on a constant setting, the animatronic's title was changed on Spirit Halloween's website to include "Constant Motion."
- This animatronic was very unpopular, due to its single animation and $230 price tag. This resulted in it being lowered to $200 later on.
