    It's a T-Rex, but, alas, not a good one. The skull is the best thing on it. Some people on the toy skeleton group suggested that the skull can be transplanted onto the human skeleton for a scary hybrid, because the neck joint is compatible. Otherwise, there are other, far better T-rex skeletons to be had in that size.

    If I don't find some in my travels, I may take you up on it. I leave Saturday and won't be back until Labor Day weekend, so I will let you know when I get back. Either way, the offer is appreciated.

    I've now tried 3 Big Lots regionally and none of them have these. Will see if I can find any Big Lots next week when in New England visiting my mom and see if I have any luck out that way. The Big Lots online Halloween store doesn't have them listed either.

    Here is the display that I saw at Big Lots, it was hanging on the side of an endcap.

    This barcode might help in finding them at the stores.
    I was ready with your barcode if needed but I was lucky and found some! You never know though. They had a lot of fun Skeleton stuff. I picked up one and am happy. It took me a little hile to figure out how it moves but very posable and fun! For $5 a fantastic deal and your ready for Halloween!

Actually, it's best to swap both of the legs, because the way they're assembled at the factory makes them unable to kneel or bend their knees in the correct direction. The cutouts on the leg bones are wrong. By swapping the left leg for right, and swapping the feet, the knee will be able to bend correctly, almost 90 degrees.
    right, they are on backwards. Didn't know that was across all of them, I thought I just got a goof up

    Suitable skeletal adversaries for MEGO Conan or King Kull?
