Title: What is Thing?
Post by: capthugeca on 14 October 2010, 06:09:52 PM
I notice amongst the Flickr Fantasy pictures that there is a figure called Thing.
What is it as I can't see it in the catalogue?

I had to go and check that one myself!  It was a figure we'd had for years but never put into the catalogue, then a customer request meant I needed to photo it, but it didn't have a code, so I just called it 'Thing'.  JChaos has a load of them I think, but it's still not been listed.  Would people be interested in it?  It's a rather odd looking beast, like a furry dragon with a pot belly...:

I am.
It reminds me a bit of the skeksis from Dark Crystal.

Looks like a Bunyip, a creature from a children`s fantasy novel I read many many many years ago.

Oh, what was the title... ummm, "Whispering in the Wind" I think?


Six :-)
