Toymany Giant Panda from the babies set

I haven't really scrutinized the six I am not reviewing yet. I hadn't noticed the sculpt detail in the eyelids of the half-open eye. Wow, what detail.

[Saarlooswolfhound]

Its a small figure but Toymany continues to astound with its attention to detail. Not every figure is a winner (IMO their arctic wolf could be improved) but the vast majority of them ARE really well done.
