Here is the link to my Photobucket album so I don't clog this thread with photos. I'll include one here just to show off. ;)

Here is the full suit from the film.

And here is the animatronic head I own. (Poor photo angle makes it look less impressive. I'll have to get another later!)

Well I can honestly say that's about the most unique item I've seen in someone's collection recently. It looks pretty huge, what 3-4 feet high? How does one acquire an item like that?

I only have the head, not the entire suit. It's a "life size" head modeled after a large anteater. My husband owns a production company and knew someone who knew someone who was looking to sell two of the antibus heads. From what I understand, there is one "suit" head without animatronics, one animatronic test head that I own, and one animatronic finished head that I own pictured above.

We were dating at the time and I guess he wanted to impress me. He certainly succeeded. We've often considered selling the test head, which doesn't look like the Antibus from the movie (same latex mold, but with white and black "fur").

Here's a better photo for size... that's my husband with Antibus when we first moved to our new home.

Very cool and unique. If you sell, I hope you get a lot for it.

This is a slightly better image of Antubis... he seems to be smiling!

Image
Here's the Bag of Bones promo I received as a birthday gift. Perfect condition!

Image
Oh, how I wish the record player worked... the batteries apparently cannot be replaced?

Image
I'm hoping to get Mick Garris to sign there, next to the "Beware".

Image
Also in perfect condition! My husband might be better at finding collection deals than I am!!

stkmw02, I've never tried to see if the batteries could be replaced. It's a neat collectible anyway!
