Ok, now let's talk.  I tend toward parsimony when it comes to praise.  I have encouragement and free advice for days but it takes something exceptional to warrant actual praise so here it is: This figure looks exceptional.  I would put this on my desk.  In fact, I will put this on my desk.

What makes this figure exceptional?

• Concept: Characterful yet simple.  A little bit of Critters with a strong cartoon silhouette.
• Sculpt: Hair is one of the hardest textures to sculpt and it looks awesome.
• Size: 3.5 inches (89 mm for metric folks).  That's a nice chunk of resin.  Not so large that it is unwieldy but not so small that you don't feel like you're getting your money's worth.
• Engineering: It may not look it but the figure is actually 5 pieces (pic below).  What this means from a tech standpoint is that each of the small parts (hands, "dentures") can be cast in a way that makes them much less prone to miscasts and flaws.

Triplikid is definitely adding to the "design space" of resin toys so I can't wait to get my hands on one of these and see what is up next!
