Perfect for any collection

Received an excellent condition it performs just as advertised. Personally, I bought it because it’s sort of a memento of the TV show. “Dead like me” which was sort of an icon in the program. It’s a nice collectible.

This would be a spectacular toy except that the head that was on top of the toy's shoulders (i.e not the spare head) was dangling very loosely upon arrival, and upon further inspection, I cannot find anyway to attach the head more securely. An adjustable peg portrudes from the neck of the toy, with a knob (a male part) that seems to correspond to an indentation (female part) on the inside of the head cavity. But the knob seems unable to actually snap into the hole, even after pressing very hard and experimenting with adjusting the angle of the peg. (While I was trying to attach the head, one of the toy's legs popped off and I had to put it back on; turns out the legs are attached almost as precariously via pegs with balls sliding into open cavities. The legs are not swappable with other legs so there is no reason to design them to come off so easily.) So you just have to sit the head loosely on the peg, and if you move the toy or even pick the toy up and hold it at anything less than a perfectly upright angle in your hand, the head immediately falls off. If there is any special knack to firmly attaching the head, the toy doesn't come with any instructions to enlighten the consumer. The second head has a splendid facial expression variation, but is plagued with the same design flaw. The paint job on this toy is generally excellent, smooth and true to the color of the original Frankenberry and the toy can be removed from its packaging without damaging the paint job. The articulated joints are inconspicuous but they are crude and afford very little mobility; even the knees only rotate rather than bending. The cereal box accessory is wonderful, as is the box that the toy comes in. This box doubles as a display box and a work of art in itself, and it was easy to remove the toy from the box without damaging the box. I would utterly adore this whole joyfully pink ensemble -- and it does have my strong affections -- but the loose head is a real problem. It amounts to a beautiful toy that is really only for display and not to be handled in any way.

I bought this for a friend and she absolutely loved it! The item itself is very well done and nice. I'd say this is more of a collectible for adults. Small pieces make it unsuitable for little kids but if you grew up with these monster cereals, it's a great item!
