I will be the first to admit that I was not fully on board with this figure when I saw the preliminary sketches, but after seeing the sculpt it is definitely growing on me. As posted
HERE before we got a first look at
Patricio Oliver new figure set coming out, and today he has revealed the sculpt of "Almond", who as PO! states "
Almond is a young and powerful ginger witch from the Pentacle Village. She channels her magic through fire and flame.She's used a portion of her soul to create Salamandra, an animated humongous guardian beast and furnace." I really do like how this figure has the shape of a candle, with the base and the head looking like a flame, very creative. I am really looking forward to seeing the sculpt for the "Salamandra" figure... which I assume is on deck, so stay tuned!
