youre kinda lucky. unless you spun the box around, the 'Vertical option arrows' are upside down. (the black arrows point towards her feet and not her head) they did this to me and she was shipped vert on her neck the entire week trip.

Yeah, I must have been lucky... cause there was absolutely no damage. I didn't notice the "vertical arrow" option on there... but you're right. That was her feet side.

Anyway, Night 3 and no problems what-so-ever. Been very careful with her hands and other extremities, so no broken fingers or toes yet.

I'll definitely take a lot more pictures soon - but I've been extremely busy preparing for a hurricane (I'm in South Florida)... so looks like Anna arrived just in time to keep me company for Irma!

Congrats on your new lady and thanks for the great pics, she sure is a beauty. I am currently in wait for my new girl as I type this, I am sure you will be happy with Anna !

Yes, the boxes are drawn with an arrow to indicate which side the feet are located (mine is the same)
This arrow does not mean "This Way Up" - its supposed to be laid flat, as indicated by the proper Fragile/This Side Up sticker on the side. A sticker that at least factory is supplying now: they didn't use to making this the only arrow on the box and why so many of us had neck rod punctures through the end of the box as shippers would orient the box vertically, feet up.

Well, Anna and I made it through Hurricane Irma unscathed. So we'll clean up around the house... then start some photo shoots starting next week.

Just look up "Virgin Killer Sweater" on eBay. There's lots of different colors available... but, white and pink seem to sell out fast.

I purchased one of these from Amazon today. Just about everybody had white, with most offering red, gray, and blue as well. No pinks though, at least not at sub-$18. But I found a light purple eligible for Prime with 4+ star rating after 10 reviews and paid a few extra bucks for that one.

Congratulations... very nice pictures... wishing you the best together

Anna and I took a selfie just before the lights went out during hurricane Irma.

We'll take some better photo shoot shots after we finish cleaning up around the house.

Great picture! Glad you made it through Irma ok.

Good company to ride out a storm with.

Just messin' around at home today... and I catch Anna drawing in my manga books.. of course I had to snap a few pics.

I think you've got a keeper there! Glad to see you made it through the hurricane without incident too. She was probably pretty good company through that time! We don't have hurricanes where I come from.... Just the occasional -25 F or 40" of snow ! More pictures when you have a chance!

Really love the picture of Anna and Captain Black Jack!! Pretty sweet!! Hope you and Anna all as well during the hurricane.

Agreed! Great photo!

Glad to hear you both made it through Irma safely. That was an ugly situation that fortunately spared us its worst.

Congrats on the safe arrival of your new beauty, Captain. Anna looks amazing, and I hope you have much happiness for a long time to come.

You should really move Anna to a safer place. You know hurricanes are really dangerous. I have a very safe home in Denver. Sure the winters are cold, but I bet she'd stay warm here. It'd be best for her, I'm sure you can see.
