I have to interrupt our travel report from South America for a moment with a current post.

Very, very similar pictures are popping up everywhere at the moment, showing a person as a small plastic action figure, complete with various accessories originally packed in a sales package. These images are usually all generated with AI. Except for a small independent trend where artists make their own versions of their action figures; often drawn, but also folded from paper, crocheted or modelled from plasticine.

Here is my take on this phenomenon:
The Garstl action figure. 100% AI-free. Completely classic, manual image retouching.

For Figure Friday, I wanted to share a relatively recent model kit I got. It's bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur is one of my all time favorite Pokémon, so I had to get this kit when I saw it. I already have a few Pokémon Bandai model kits, including Eevee, Mewtwo, and Rowlet. This one adds to my collection.

As the box says, this is an "Easy Simple Assembly Kit." The biggest difficulty was getting the stickers for the eyes, feet bottoms, and some of the spots to line up. As an adult, I was able to do it with a pair of tweezers. Younger kids may need a bit of assistance with that aspect of the kit.

Overall, easy to build, adorable to look at. Love it!
