Where is this figure from?
« on: April 29, 2026, 16:56:30 »


No doubt a promotional figure, probably recent. All light blue with white hands and feet. I got him from a uk seller on eBay, but there were no details of origin, etc.

Ah, yes! Thanks tahra. I was wrong about his origin, but it's a great figure nonetheless!

Would be interesting if they did a line of "abstract" klickies like that...
