meet 'Gizmo', the latest cub from KD&CO. Gizmo is my representation of a grizzly cub at about 8 weeks old. He's 18" long from the tip of his nose to end of his tail. He's armatured, multi-jointed and all the rest of that stuff (let's just say he'll sit when you ask him to ;-) Gizmo has a complete neck and spine, but his head is also disk-jointed just behind the ears, a really fun permutation that I haven't tried before. claws, paws, nose & eyelids are leather.

Gizmo is now appearing on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 0404413126

I'm celebrating here :dance: :bday: :cake: :bday: :cake: :bday: :dance: this is the first auction that I've had ready ahead of time, instead of desperate, mad rush against the clock! it feels really great :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

gosh, Yvonne, there aren't words for how much I missed doing Hugglets this year :redface: I really love that show - and London - and I sure hope to be back next year, but in this economy, who knows? I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though. Thanks for asking :hug:
