Highly detailed and realistic artistry in models is really compelling. There are so many beautiful sculpts and so much fantastic paintwork out there, and those are always enjoyable. But I enjoy the other end of the spectrum, too. In fact, finding models with endearingly weird faces is a highlight in collecting for me. My avatar photo is my favorite example, of course, but this one came today:

I both laugh at her and relate to her.

Do you have a model whose expression makes you laugh (or shake your head in dismay)? Please show them to me! I need a little bit of light hearted whimsy in my life about now. flower

Oh I love the old Safari authentics! This is a great example of what you point out. Very Happy

I will post some of mine this weekend! I need some whimsy too.  Laughing

Hahah, oh, that IS a face!

The only one I can think of who makes me laugh is Smug the cat - the simplicity of the paint strokes on his face, and there was no way I could name him anything else Laughing

This is a wonderful idea for a thread! cheers I love those eyes! Shocked And what a sweet and funny fox George! Very Happy
I had to include this AAA bulldog, you can't quite tell from the camera but he has a great face, and it's slightly lopsided too! Laughing

And then a couple of Schleich dogs, models based on the film Foofur. This is Foofur the blue bloodhound: Laughing

And apparently this character is Louis the bulldog:

Ah, I didn't realize there is already a long standing thread for these! Many delightful faces there, also. Laughing Though I would argue for a slightly different theme here - not poorly done so much as unintentionally emotive. Razz

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I love smug cat, ha! That's a perfect name, for a perfect little beast.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - wonderful! Especially the Schleich dog in the back of that last photo, oh no. geek

Haha, some of those old Authentics look like they should be stars in a 'Just Say No to Drugs' film, they do bring a smile! I think I need to try to find the Papo jackal just for the trippy eyes.

I agree, that hairy dog behind the Louis bulldog looks off his rocker. Shocked
