This adorable mummy takes 4 AA batteries that are NOT INCLUDED. He has an on and off switch on the top of his foot. One of the battery compartment tabs is broken as shown in the pictures. When you push the on button the song THRILLER plays and his head moves. I think his hands are supposed to move but there is no movement in his arms or hands. You get the actual item pictured so please look at all photos and ask any questions before purchase.
