I admit, I was a little nervous about this piece, since I was expecting to be blown away, because, sometimes, you can expect to be so blown away by something that you can end up being just somewhat satisfied, or even disappointed. Well, I just couldn't contain my excitement as I opened the box, took the inner box out, and, finally, cut open the tape around the syrofoam. Yeah, I was completely expecting to be blown away; and as I lifted the styrofoam, and removed the packing, I yelled "HOLY FRIKKIN poo!!" I must of stared at it (it's still in the bottom part of the styrofoam) for about 20 min. Finally, I lifted it up and set it on the shelf, and did the usual brushing off of fuzzies, and I also used a little lint roller to get the other stuff. All this, mind you, was done while TPM was playing too. I sat on the couch and just stared for a another 30 min or so. I couldn't, can't, believe how incredible this piece is. This is one of those pieces that is so damn incredible, you can't believe you own it. Kudos to Sideshow for creating such an exotic piece. You guys should be proud; I know I am. :chew :maul
