Wow, I had no idea those things were 60 bucks. That's kind of steep huh?

Not really considering that at one time they were like $120...

My brother got the Portis Fathead as a gift, but he lives in a small apartment and his wife won't let him put it up. It looks nice. I'm sure he'd sell it for less than retail if anyone is interested. PM me with a price and I'll ask him.

I have the helmet too ! It was a bitch to put up because it kept sticking together. I put mine on my celing.

I've never heard a good story about them. Either people ruin them by letting two sticky parts touch and they become permanently bonded together, or they fall down when you're not home and two sticky parts touch and they become permanently bonded together.

There's a thread about them on a fantasy football board I browse and there's a ton of nightmare stories about them. Some guy's toddler came over and sat on one spread out on two chairs while the guy was preparing to hang it and in his words "turned the Fathead into a giant taco"...$100+ down the drain.

A helmet one would look cool on a wall though. I don't know if you can EASILY move it around like they claim on the ads though.

I moved about 6 months ago and had to remove mine. I've had it up about a year total, its never fallen down are started to. If you do move it or when you decide to put it up it helps to have an extra pair of hands.
