I wouldn't have the first idea how to go about that, but you'll be pleased
to know that the head is nice and narrow, like what a T.rex should be!  I
have a latex-covered T.rex robot with a very bulbous spherical head, and it
just doesn't look right.  All you'll have to do is ditch the horns and
you'll be set.

I'm just enjoying it for its cool tiger stripes at the moment.
