If I were to display this I think I might put a couple of extra rubber grommets on top of the factory ones, stack em' on there. Just enough to lift all along the front part of the base a couple centimeters, just enough to correct/cancel the forward lean on the Pred. That might be enough to take care of the problem. Maybe even over do it a bit and lean him back a couple centimeters for good measure? Don't know, haven't seen this piece since back in March when I got mine, can't quite recall how bad the lean is. Doing all the complex surgery with metal rods and so might not be necessary? Still though, I would put those extra grommets or whatever on there for sure, wouldn't want to "test" mine for the lean.

I got the replacement head, double boxed, and with the locks smashed, as much as the one that bounced off my living room carpet. No where on the outer box is the word FRAGILE written. Do I have to send these guys a Sharpie? The inner box had too much space to move around in, although they did try to stabilize it with pieces of foam, they obviously underestimate the weight of their own product. Again, I have to go through the BS exercise of contacting these guys until they get it right.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Well - they're consistent . . .

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

They're sending a 3rd masked head and I mentioned the bubble wrap idea, being too obvious but sometimes you just have to keep things simple.

The fact they make this stuff and can't use the common sense to pack it says it all really.

Call them and ask them to use those bean bag type packing bags with tiny styro balls in them. Worked great for my third WW hair from them.

Just wanted to drop in and say shame on you Sideshow for releasing your somewhat recent City Hunter and Jungle Hunter 1/4 statues at the price you charged. If you have to sell those characters at that price to make money, you should probably call it quits on Predator. You are getting BLOWN out of the water by your competitors, and one of them is charging about $300 less than what you charged for an inferior P2 statue about 4 years ago. And if you drop your prices to compete now, customers will know you have been gouging them for years.
But just like Blockbuster Video, it couldn't happen to a more deserving company.
