Turquoise sleepy monster

She’s around 12″ tall (not including her ears) Her face is an original sculpt by me, which i then hand cast in resin. The face had been airbrushed and painted painstakingly by hand before being sealed with 3 layers of shimmer-matte lacquer all over that sparkles slightly when the light catches it. She has weighted feet and a weighted bottom and free moving teddy bear joints in her shoulders and hips so she can sit and stand unassisted. Her head is sewn on but still has enough movement to allow you to pose her easily.

Her body is made from high quality bobbly turquoise fabric, and she has soft whitel paws. Her head is made from thick luxury two-tone curly fur, with white fluffy ears. She has a puffy curly bears tail too :)
