Here's the scoop on what I did...First, pry the two rectangular cardboard supports (the ones holding the styrofoam) away from the back of the box (there may be some tearing, but not much if you are careful). Then "fold" that section of the picture off to the side, toward the triangular cardboard support in the front corner. Once this is out of the way, you should be able to pry the styrofoam out the box. It may seem like the styrofoam is still wedged in there, but it isn't. It is just glued to the bottom of the box. Once I had the styrofoam out, and removed the statue, I just put the styrofoam back, folded the picture back into place, and closed the box.__________Reply was:Thanks for the advice . . . I gave it a try and am happy to say that everything, at least visible, is undamaged and Gollum is free from his styrofoam prison. The only damage was to the lower part of the styrofoam and some of the inside of the cardboard (but it's not visible behind the picture paper).The only thing I would add to your instructions would be to have a crowbar and chisel ready to use to remove the styrofoam from the bottom of the box.  What were they thinking??</blockquote>
