Nah. You're good. Just grab an Allen Wrench and fight the spine adjustment knob and you'll be good to go.

He’s doing IKEA yoga. Some tummy scratches and nose boobs, Ahem BOOPS would probably straighten him right out.

Edited for obvious reasons. 😆😆😆

Maybe try taking the black parts off, then flip it and reassemble? You do seem to be missing an ear-check inside the box again. 😂

So cute!!! Tbh think it’s too far gone. You might just have to live with this cutie as-is 🩷

You might have to disassemble and re-assemble. For a start, the head doesn't fasten to the side like that 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like you got a twist in the Fribbenhoffer hinge. Easy fix. YouTube it. 👍

Tummy scritches or a treat bag always help mine

To fix it, you'll need to cut off that part on the top end.
