Too lazy to save these and re-upload them so they don't have FB addresses, but most of the concerned parties here ought to be able to view them before they disappear.

New photos from a Chinese collector, shared by Kelvin. Looks like he does have the upturned head, very thankful for that.

Wow! If you can make all 3 boxes fit please take a photo. I spent 20 minutes in the UPS parking lot trying to configure a way, not to mention being drained from all of the "trial and error" attempts lifting those boxes up and down. I was kind of luck as the UPS facility was only 25 minutes away from my residence.

If your spot is tight (like mine in a corner) you'll have to be even more careful, potentially half squat in an awkward position.

Oh and yeah, make sure you choose the right place to assemble this, do not do what I did, otherwise you assemble twice, take took it out of me haha.
Exactly! You can have a 300lbs bench press, but if your wrists and hand muscles aren't strong enough to support and guide a 35 pound (or more) object, that's off balance, into a designated hole without a millimeter of tolerance to spare; you can plan on having a long day.

I guess I didn't say that... but I gave out on the bust. Predator 1987 is in my blood. Speaking of weight, I'm physically preparing myself to handle the beast.

^ I think a few of us are eating crow right now. I was one of the vocal ones about the cost and “speaking with my wallet”. Almost missed this one and it would have stung today.

Hopefully these images aren’t the result of manipulating the head…the fact that they are dimly lit and the neck area is practically hidden is not encouraging…
