MANNEKEN PIS BOY PIPED STATUE

Love it . so cute. Bought home depot water pump and it works great! Have had if ro several years now.

Monica delights all of our neighbors as they pass by on their boats!

The media could not be loaded. I love this statue so much! It looks gorgeous in my backyard. It's made of cast resin and on the lighter side. I put a stake in the ground and placed hole in the bottom of the statue over it to hold it in place so I won't fall over. Worked like a charm. This statue works perfectly and looks amazing in my backyard.

This is the 2nd time I've bought this little peeing boy fountain to grace us with his rather insouciant presence. At my last house he was in a bed of asian jasmine in the garden around the side of the house visible from the window in the guest bathroom, but at this house he greets my guests right by the front door. Like other reviewers have noted, he does get after it - maybe Toscano should consider a slightly less powerful pump. He doesn't overshoot the basin, but the splash is considerable. To stop the splashing affect which was causing too rapid water loss from the basin, I added a small but tall jar (really a vase) into the basin, with a hole drilled into the bottom of it, which he pees into now and the splash stays within the vase. Even so, I add a few cups of water to the basin every few days or so, more often after very windy days. I put some rocks into basin to keep the vase in place, because birds and squirrels and neighborhood cats do like to come get a drink - I guess it's a local watering hole for animals. Anyhoo, when this thing arrived I had a problem getting this statue to fully and squarely seat itself on the basin because the metal pin that comes out of the bottom of the statue was at a slight angle which didn't let the pin fully insert into the hole on the top of the basin. In other words, the hole was plumb (straight vertical) but not the corresponding pin. I guess I could have returned the statue, but I ended up just enlarging the hole a little bit (not that easy since it's actually a metal cylinder) to get the two parts get into better alignment. The statue is not heavy, but it's not exactly lightweight either. I've had him for about year now and he's survived a lot of very windy days. Both the basin and statue need cleaning occasionally due to accumulation of algae. But nothing's maintenance free in home ownership.

The media could not be loaded. Love it, adds a great addition to my small pond. Just make sure you brace it with something so it doesn’t fall over. I have a metal post with cable ties, well worth the money.

I bought this statue for my husband for Father's day. He always said he wanted one. It did not disappoint. Good quality and very cute. Does come covered in a powdery substance and very strong smell out of the box though so if you are asthmatic just be aware. After hosing it down and setting it up, it didn't take long for the smell to go away.If you are buying the statue alone you will need to anchor it to something or it will fall over. We anchored it to piece of a 2x8 and slide the board up under the edge of our pond and covered with mulch it's been holding up well for several weeks now. I found this to be a good price overall for what you get.

Like this little guy real well. Bought him for my goldfish pond and to irritate my wife. But to my surprise she likes it. A little more detail than I thought he would be! Very easy to set up didn't take 10 minutes. Looks very nice. He is very lightweight so you have to make sure he is secured. If you have him in a goldfish Pond as I do and he falls over it can drain your pond, (he is on the edge of my pond on the bank) I buried his base which I did not want it to show because I wanted a more natural look.👍 we call him Louis because he reminds us of our great nephew. He's not modest in the lease! Of course at that age you don't have to be. Would buy again very please! And no I do not think he looks like plastic or looks cheap has a very nice appearance

My husband had always wanted one of these and I finally surprised him! He built me a waterfall and said he was going to get one. I told him no way, it would ruin the space (knowing I would get him one). He totally completes the space and everyone loves it and gets such a kick out of it! My husband hooked it up, not sure if he put something inside to make it a little heavier, it is lightweight, so we don't want him to fall and break. He got a pump from Lowes so that the water shoots far enough (he knows much more about this type of stuff than me lol) So happy I could finally get my hard working husbamd the little peeing guy he had always wanted, but we never had anywhere to put him. He's perfect!
