2012 Red Panda Official pic

You're right, Willy. Head seems ok, but legs don't look too good. They may need a little bit of improvement.
I'll wait for some photos of actual model, this is a prototype, I assume

too much of toyishness in a figure will affect its natural looking.and too much details with accuracy i think there will be no figurines in the market too .even in the future.80%naturalistic+20%toyishness will be enough for me and new comers.i will never imagine a red panda to be accurate or see major flaws in it since it is a small and cute mammals which wins every heart.if i lok serious flaws in it then i will start searching flaws in every figurine and neglect it and still wait for the future pandas which i think will destroy my collecting charm and happiness and mostly my satisfaction.every figurine has flaws.every figurine is important to atleast someone.

you have a great attitude! almost every figure could be improved, but perfection is the enemy.
even a perfectly accurate figure can disappoint if it doesn't have character.


i think the problem with making a red panda is that they are so impossibly cute in real life that it's hard to make one accurate that doesn't look like a "cute" toy. plus, they are so fluffy looking, and it's hard to make plastic fluffy!
to me this figure looks unfinished and a lot about it bothers me. at first glance, it looks like a baby in a costume.

Pick one Carolynn...

Specially for this time...

cute baby animals

those costumes even make babies look cute
The red panda is very cute, especially when it feeds on dead guinea pigs or rats and some zoo visitors become slightly irritated.

So true Philipp, in both cases, haha...

to quote the Honey Badger:
"Red Panda don't care. Red Panda doesn't give a ****."

I wasn't the one who started to talk about a baby in a costume...

The guy in the short movie about the honeybadger is not even using very bad words to European standards, and he is soooo gayyyyy!
