Tadpole - a Swampling Oddling marionette

Although the green-skinned 'goblins' of the Great Swamp west of the Riverland Delta are not a breed known for their intrepid nature, Tadpole was always one to buck a trend. All his life (which might not amount to much yet) he's been dreaming of action and high adventure far beyond the belly of the bog. His elder brother, Dankin, keeps a strong paternal eye over his young ideals, but with his recent discovery of an old discarded sword, and a new commission to lead a strangeling across the Fens, he may very well find it!
 

The Land of Odd: A mystical experience in World-building! Meet the Oddlings, a deliberate tribute to the humble Podlings developed by Brian Froud for “The Dark Crystal”. Normally a grassroots clan dressed generically in the umbers and ochres of the earth, our redeveloped Oddlings embrace a much wider palette of colour and textiles in their costuming and adopt a wide range of vibrant skin tones quite at odds with the earthy hues of their originators. Much of our collected jewellery and specialty off-cuts have found a home here, lending every one its own unique individuality. With just a few moments browsing, you will see the diversity of character distinct in each beautiful marionette and the world-building potential we are only beginning to cultivate. Marionette in doll form is approximately 25cm in height or 60cm when strung.
