Fantastic Python! For the head position, you need to work those dreads near the shoulder. Because they're installed differently on every statue I've seen, they'll impact how the head rests in the key.
There's a lot of flex to them, so you'll have to work at them through bending or heating.

Thank you! And yeah I know, the dreads are all in different positions on each head also. The open mouth head slots right on for example, while the guardian fights me every mm. I meant that the prototype had a more level head position which did look better imo. But it's hardly a deal breaker, I love it over all! Thanks for the recommendation...

Thank you! I think it's difficult to take a bad picture of this with a half decent camera and a bit of light. I'm actually not overly happy with the pics as the light was pretty dim the day I took them (I really should buy some proper lights) But this thing just looks amazing whichever way you look at it. Have to give Prime 1 credit where it's due on this one, it's definitely a big win!

You're welcome! You can get the head quite level actually. You'll just need to adjust the dreads on the left side of the head. Yours look like they stick out a bit. Try to move them inwards more.

I absolutely love this statue! I can't believe how negative this thread was when this first started shipping now that I have this in hand. I realise a few people early on received bad examples with peeling and wonky decals and they are obviously an exception (Which I hope was resolved) But this statue is simply phenomenal in person! I'm so glad I re-ordered this while I still could. I'm lucky enough to have a few incredible statues in my collection, including the EX SWS maquette and the Prime 1 1/3 Big chap. This goes straight to the top of the list as the most impressive statue I own, only that Big chap really compares to it.
...
Here's some absolute photo spam, featuring Merlin as scale in a couple. He's happy I promise, he's just a Labrador with a typical sad face as my attention wasn't fully on him for two minutes! Enjoy...

You and Gary are in top competition for best pics of this thing. Thank y'all.

Nice shots! Congrats on getting this big bad boy and glad you are loving it! It must look incredible in person. Man now I can't wait for the other big boy.
