Articulated Dratini

The first stage of one of the best-known dragon lines in the Pokemon world, Dratini is a slender, serpentine creature with a snub-nosed face, a small bulb set on the brow and a pair of soft fins framing the head. It is a design that suits articulation unusually well, and this version leans into that: the long tapering body is broken into a run of linked segments so the whole thing moves in the hand rather than sitting still on a shelf. That puts it closer to a desk toy than a display bust. Articulated prints like this get picked up constantly, which is much of the point, and they land somewhere between collectible and fidget. An easy gift for anyone with a soft spot for the original games, and a familiar shape for anyone who prints for a stall.
