Thunderstorm Gryfaun Room Guardian Available in my site shop Monday January 13th at 12pm EST.
The Thunderstorm Gryfaun has a rose quartz crystal heart and its eyes and horns glow in the dark like lightning. It stands about 14 inches tall and it has a coat of high quality faux fur. The head and the hooves are cast in resin for maximum durability. The hands are sculpted out of a flexible clay and the horns are sculpted from thermal plastic that will not snap when bent. The neck and tail have a fully posable plastic ball and socket armature inside that will not wear out over time. The arms have a wire inside that can be bent at the shoulder and elbow.
