Figma
There are action figures, and then there are educational and anatomically correct action figures.
Need help penning that graphic novel of a cupid with a chip on its shoulder? Look no further.
The famous illustration has stepped out from the page and into the world as a fully poseable action figure.
It may be one of the most famous statues in the world, but that doesn’t mean ‘The Thinker’ is unique. There are actually around 28 versions of Rodin’s masterpiece bronze sculpture, and those are just the ones we know about.
That list of Thinkers is about to get a little bit longer, as a research team in Japan has just unearthed a fully flexible, articulated version of ‘The Thinker’. Coming in at less than a tenth of the size of Rodin’s original(s), this incredible bendable figure is only 15.5cm tall!
