It's odd for "features" to be dropped from Poundland stuff, especially when mentioned on the packaging. I'll make a wild excuse for them, that the current currency fluctuation has meant that their suppliers have had to penny pinch to be able to supply product at all.
I think the magic wand could do with a little bit of finishing with a darker wipe on surface colourant to make it look more like wood and less like a toilet incident.
The circuitry in the strobe is... just... weird. (But the case is super-hackable).
The strings of simple lights are always a crowd pleaser. I'll make a wild guess that the purple strings are very popular with goths.
Bit of a mixed bag this year. Some amazing stuff and some corners cut, but still good value.
Obviously the wand has nothing to do whatsoever with Harry Potter, and neither did the thick black round-rimmed wizard glasses.

    I know this is an old video, but Ashens also had one of those witches for his Halloween special. His WAS motion activated, and made a completely different sound – much like Billy the puppet in Saw.

    I'd use Harry's big round nobbler :3

    My scary lantern said it was motion detector , but is actually was a sound activated, I guess relying of the kids be loud when they come to the door , which did not work very well

    That’s why they’ve probably ended up in pound land as they have missing features..

    It's funny how in America poundland sounds like an adult bookstore

    Well, Lumos looks like a very bright white light and it is Magic.

    Why do I smell something like a reset IC and not a micro in the strobe light. Or something like a brown – out detect in the micro and they just "play" with the capacitance of the reset line…
    Cause the strobe frequency seems like it has a capacitor charge time character in it.
    Edit: Dear Clive…. I think you need the "osCOLoscope of forbidden knowledge"

    Thumbs up if you laughed out loud at a turd with an led in the 🔚

    And a double thumb up for spudgering the turd🎃

    Hmmmm "Huge..thick, chunky and ribbed", what was Clive thinking about when he was describing the wand?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Fergerson says:

    Amazing. The wand has holes in the end AND brackets to hold a speaker and possibly itty bitty soundboard- they magically disappeared!
