Arrrgh!
One cannot hide anymore from "cartoons" and "eggs" Alien invasion!
Beautifully sculpted and interesting detail but certainly not on my shopping list!

Hi Andy
Thanks for the news. I've got to admit I've only become of Lorenzo Etherington's retro artwork through some of the volunteers here in my Oxfam bookshop who specialise in graphic novels.
This looks amazing, and it's well priced - plus, it's especially good in this "PC world" to see that it's a female sculptor that's brought a subject like this to life in 3D. If it's good enough for her...
I can't paint figures to save my life (that's a side of modelling that I need to invest a major amount of time into getting even half-acceptable results from!) - and this falls right between AutoModeller and ModelGeek... but I've got to admit I'm seriously tempted!
All the best
Rowan

As Gabriel said, it's not on my shopping list at all, but I cannot help but wonder at the work that has gone into the sculpting and the quality of the casting to capture all of that exquisite detail. Like Rowan, I have zero figure painting skills and I am very jealous of those who have mastered the art, so I could never do this justice, but I look forward to seeing some of these hitting the forums.
Cheers, D

Oh Heck yeah, I'm getting one. I've bought figure sets from Industria Mechanika in the past and the quality is great

Very cool, but why a tail?

Because it had to match the Ukelele Girl .
Now, why she has a tail is the next question

yes, and I've seen the kit of the Ukulele Girl and the tail is an optional part
