Does anyone own a Fathead product? They're so large, I'm wondering how easy it is to actually remove one from the wall without tearing it.

the fat heads are actually pretty thick and you can remove them farely easy. we have peyton manning here. I had suggested when I ordered it last year that they should see about getting a contract with Disney cause we would purchase all the princesses lol still waiting to see if they come out with the princesses but glad to see they have the ball rolling with Disney :thumbsup:

The video store I frequent gave me a very large Mike and Sully when Monsters Inc came out on video. They are very big and come off the wall very easy. As I was looking for Christmas decorations this year I found them stowed away in a box and thought Disney should make these available to consumers :)
