John Travulture is a nearly three foot tall vulture standing upright like a gentleman, top hat on and a pumpkin topped cane in hand. He is cut and shaped from iron, powder coated, and painted by hand in a matte black and white finish that is distressed for an antique, old storybook look. Small bat and jack-o-lantern details finish him off. Set him beside the front door, in a window, or at the end of the walk, and he plays the part of a spooky host without a single plug or battery.
Key Features
- Nearly three feet of character: At 34.25 inches tall he reads clearly from the street, yet his 10.5 by 6.25 inch footprint fits on a porch step or beside a planter.
- Powder coated iron: The hollow iron body is powder coated and made to resist weather and rust, so he can stand outside through the season.
- Hand painted by an artist: The black and white finish is painted by hand and distressed on purpose, which gives each vulture a slightly different, aged look.
- Stands on his own: He is freestanding with no stakes or assembly, so setup is as easy as lifting him out of the box.
What's Included
You get one John Travulture iron vulture figurine, fully finished and ready to stand, packed in its own carton. He comes with his top hat, pumpkin cane, and bat and jack-o-lantern details already in place, and there is nothing to assemble or wire.
Before You Buy
- He stands 34.25 inches tall. That is just under three feet, roughly knee to hip height on most adults, so he is a floor or porch piece rather than a shelf piece.
- The distressed finish is intentional. Chips and worn edges are painted in by hand for an antique look, and no two vultures come out exactly alike.
- He is freestanding with no stakes. Set him on a flat surface like a porch floor or step, and bring him in or tuck him against a wall on very windy days.
Perfect For
- A front porch or stoop that needs a tall, funny Halloween greeter
- A window display or entry table corner seen from the street
- Pairing with other vultures and spooky figures for a full yard scene
Care & Use
- Wipe him down with a soft dry cloth to keep the painted finish clean.
- Store him indoors in a dry spot after Halloween so the paint stays fresh for next year.

Why John Travulture steals the porch
Iron that comes back yearly
He is made from hollow powder coated iron that resists weather and rust, so he can stand outside all October and then come back out looking the same next Halloween season.
No two exactly alike
Every vulture is painted by hand in black and white, then distressed for an antique feel. Small differences in the brushwork give yours a one of a kind look you will not see next door.

Is an iron vulture better than other Halloween figures?
vs. a blow mold figure
Blow molds need a spot near an outlet and read as plastic up close. This vulture is hand painted iron with real detail, and he needs no cord or light to look good.
vs. a resin statue
Resin can chip or crack when it tips. His hollow iron body is powder coated and made to handle the outdoors season after season.
vs. an inflatable
Inflatables sag when the fan stops and need staking. He stands on his own all day and night with nothing to plug in.

FAQs
Common questions that customers ask
