"I can feel a plastic gear moving in the groin area". Hey, behave, he is 23 years old, lol :>D
The best thing to do it to take it to a local model shop. They will know someone that fixes them, and in fact that is the advice from the makers. They disown them after 12 months and just call them 'discontinued'.

Question edited for clarity. It looks like it is made by Gemmy.
Question moved to Gemmy category.
Is it this one?
The problem with Gemmy is that 12 months after a release they cease all support as though it never existed!
Please don't just replace items, "because you might as well and it MIGHT fix it".
There is very little practical help, but a few observations and guesses. Does it really have a battery pack? If so they will likely be rechargeable batteries, or you can add a set of Lithium Energizer. However in my experience they are not battery powered but have a mains adapter and a lead. I can guess the lighting, would guess there is a bulb and a motorised colour wheel and a bunch of fibre optic cables going from the base up the pole to the sign. If the 'bulb' is an LED Module, that will be harder, but an incandescent bulb can be tested with a multimeter.
Or take it to a local model shop, they will know a Gemmy repairer.

Hi, unfortunately Gemmy Industries does not sell replacement motors for their inflatable products. However, motors can be purchased at www.holidayinflatablestore.com. Although Gemmy cannot provide any support to assist you in the process, Gemmy understand that collectors of the product have been able to take care of their replacement needs by purchasing older, inexpensive units from E-bay and then transferring the parts to the newer model.
I first tried to remove the mister but the way it is built make it impossible to take it apart without destroying the cauldron. So what I did was purchase another fogger for 20 bucks. [Found it on the web] It fits snuggly between the outside wall and the original mister. The wire went up her dress and out her hand that holds the stick. I used masking tape and taped the wire to her stick. then I painted so it was not as noticeable. I put the screen in the cauldron and you can't tell the there is a replacement. The only thing that is different is Now the mist has all different colors instead of just red. It is a easy solution
Without more information about the specific model of Gemmy Santa you have, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer on the type of replacement microphone that can be used. However, in general, most microphones used in consumer electronics devices are electret condenser microphones, which are relatively common and widely available. These types of microphones are often used in small devices such as smartphones, tablets, and handheld microphones. You can look for a replacement electret condenser microphone with the same or similar specifications (e.g. sensitivity, frequency response, etc.) as the original microphone that came with your Gemmy Santa.
Try taking a spray bottle and filling it with water with a little dish soap added.
You should get a mixture that will bubble when and if you find a hole in the fabric/plastic.
There is such a thing as a plastic patch and glue that will fix leaks, though I have had little success with these.
God bless your efforts.
Sir try to check the speaker cone if damage, because damage cone speaker produces unnecessary sound. And check all wire connectors if loosed. Good day and best regards.
