Concur... KIDS! WE NEED MORE KIDS!!! How many times have we seen the poor kids in WWII photos and newsreels that have been caught up in the miseries of WAR??? Or, for that matter, kids of ANY era or time of war would be entirely appropriate... MORE GIs and TOMMIES, PLEASE! And, as an afterthought, the Japanese Fighting Men of World War Two have been distinctly under-represented... The Germans weren't the only combatants during WWII...

BRAVO!!!

REAL people come in ALL shapes and sizes, my friend... The "pudginess" that you mentioned could also mean that this guy is a relatively "new arrival" in this Winter environment. Actually, I posted some comments a few days ago about this very subject- We could use a PLETHORA of "pudgy" people, "FAT" people, old people, skinny people, tall and short people and UGLY people. I fail to see why every single figure HAS to look like someone out of Hollywood's Central Casting... Don't like the face on this guy? Replace it with a HORNET Head- HORNET markets a bewildering array of different heads for just about any situation...

I LIKE THIS HIPPO!!! He/she would look PERFECT at some 1/35 NAZI Party Rally...

Really? I mean REALLY?!? A pointing German? That's UNHEARD OF!!! Ohhh... I get it... This guy is pointing at one of the Hippos...

BEAUTIFULLY SCULPTED! Your friend should market this stuff!!!

We are trying to convince him.

Your friend's work is truly amazing and -if I could think of a good dio- |I'd buy that one!

Problem is... they sell.
