Interesting Facts: Girafarig are Pokémon that possess several unusual features. Their front halves are yellow with black spots while their back halves are black with yellow spots. In the front they have a long neck used for browsing (though not quite as long as their real-world counterparts), with pink spikes running down the back. The most unusual feature is its tail end, which possesses a head of its own. However, this head is incapable of independent thinking but relies on outside stimuli such as smell to guide its actions. The tail often mimics the head during feeding and is able to warn the Pokémon of danger if it is sleeping.

I wonder if Girafarig and Mawile are related...

But this one always makes me think of the Amphisbaena from Ancient Greek and Medieval European legends:

I'm actually glad this model's lineless doesn't have that color blend over the tabs. I'm currently working on it as I type, by golly, the head is really small.

does he stand by himself, or do you have to add some type of weight into his feet?

Which piece is number 11?

Brandon said...

Huh, apparently there is no piece 11. Just build from 10-12, and when you get to piece 37, attach the (second) piece labeled 18 that's above it just before 37.

Brandon said...

Oh, and no weight required, as long as the feet lie flat.
