Bolger: Cowardly First Mate Running Shady Errands
Meet Bolger, the blue-skinned first mate to Kaptain K—a brutish brawler whose monstrous appearance hides a cowardly heart.
Bolger's Story
First mate to the ubiquitous Kaptain K, Bolger is a brute and a brawler, and blue as the deeper oceans they sail together running shady errands for lokal mobster, Mr Stubbs. He hides a head as bald as a sapphire-stone beneath layers of dirty turban but for all his size and monstrous personal habits, Bolger offers little threat to anyone with a skerrick of sense and self-worth, being at heart a kowardly beast.
The Land of Odd: A World of Wonder
The Land of Odd is a richly imagined world where diverse Oddling communities—from Desert-dwellers to Underwolders, Aeyriekin to Swamplings, Oceanics to Forestkind—each bring their own cultures, beliefs, and traditions to life. Inspired by Brian Froud's beloved Podlings from "The Dark Crystal," our Oddlings have evolved into a vibrant, diverse civilization with their own mythology, conflicts, and epic quests. Where Podlings embraced earthy umbers and ochres, our Oddlings celebrate a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and personalities, each one a unique character in an ever-expanding narrative.
Premium Australian Craftsmanship
Each Oddling is meticulously handmade in Australia by The Squeaking Tribe, featuring a beautifully sculpted clay head with hand-painted details that capture Bolger's brutish blue features and hidden cowardice, unique Oceanic pirate costume crafted from specialty fabrics and collected materials including his signature dirty turban, and professionally strung controls for expressive movement. No two Oddlings are exactly alike—each carries their own story through carefully chosen textiles, jewelry, and distinctive details.
