Well, we’re a day late and a dollar short on this one, but all is not lost. UK designer and forum familiar, Okkle recently released his resin Birdletts. Fifteen of the 3.5-inch 1:1-scale figures promptly sold out. This is the first (brown) colorway of the figure, which was sculpted, molded, cast, trimmed and painted by [...]
