![]() And the arm length is appropriate - as the span is about double that of the animals height in 1:1. I think they got the size of the Gorilla pretty well - it's very hard to measure with all the bends and curves in its frame - but being the smallest of the Western Gorilla breeds, he seems about right. ![]() The heads have nice details, especially how realistic the eyes look - particularly on the neutral head sculpt, which is my favorite of the two. All of the detachable pieces are held in place by some serious (I'm assuming Rare Earth) magnets, that if you're not careful - particularly with the heads - will pull the piece out of your hands and snap onto the body before you even realize it. The arms are also detachable - though not sure why the left one was made that way, unless it was for packaging purposes - since it has a locking key to keep it in place. It comes with two heads: one neutral and one "roaring"/angry. Overall I think they did a decent job with the sculpt on this one. The hair on the back and rump of males is grey, but turns more white as they age - which is why the older males are called "Silverbacks". They possess no tails and have jet black skin along with coarse black hair that covers their entire body except for the face, ears, hands and feet. The males, which this one is supposed to represent (based on his paint job), standing erect can be up to 5'11" tall and can weigh up to 600 pounds - though there average weight is 310 pounds (females 200) there weight in captivity varies, but has reached up to 606 pounds. The Lowland Gorilla is the smallest subspecies of Western Gorilla, and is the one most commonly seen in Zoos around the world.
