GF9 Eye Tyrant Part 1 - What's in the box?

I got hold on one of the Dungeons & Dragons Eye Tyrants / Beholders from the Gale Force 9 collector's series. I plan to use this mini as a villian in one of my forthcoming adventures, so it's time to get it build up. The painting will most probably take a while.

Here an unboxing of the mini.
The box is roughly 6' x 8.5' x 1.5' and consists out of reinforced cardboard.

 The model parts are wrapped in bubble foil bags:

Here the unwrapped resin pieces:

A zoomed in section with the body parts and their back side:

Some pieces like the eye stalks are still attached to their mold spurs, other are packed loose but you still can see the mold channels to the spurs. There seem to be no mold lines directly across the piece. They are all hidden at the edge of the pieces.


Even it is not listed on the package, my box came with a clear base, a clear pillar, two pieces which seems to be a connectors between model and base and a pair of flat magnets.

I didn't find any instruction, but for most parts it seems obvious how they are assembled.

The pieces will clearly need some cleaning. Currently they do not fit. It looks like that there will even be some gaps after assembly that might need some green stuff.
