    I just bought bucky skeleton. I cannot attach the skull, because the metal rod is not long enough to fit through the whole in the top of the skull. I cant hang it up now to corpse it. Does anyone have any ideas on how i could get the skull to stay on the body, and be able to hang it?

    Had the same issue with mine, you've just got to push down hard on the skull and wiggle it around, you'll get it!

    Can you remove the skull cap and use a finder washer bigger than the hole in the base of the skull and clamp the skull to the spine? Then put the skull cap back on.

    You could remove 1 vertebrae from the neck...


    That's what I did when mine fell from the rig while corpsing. It's all those little pads in the spine, hard to compress back down once that skull's off.

    Loosen the nut at the pelvis, and push the whole spine down to give more rod length at the skull.

    I had to do this when I put a Scary Terry board in the skull. Removing the skull frequently makes it harder to get back on each time, but you can push everything down towards the pelvis to make room if you loosen that nut.

    Good luck!
