Not sure if I agree, but I'm glad someone likes it :)

It's about 12" or two &1/3 popcans tall. it's definitely twice as heavy as I'd
planned. Also about a pop can taller than my origional idea - the torso just
got out of hand.

Feet detail & rebuilding: Kind of serendipity on part of the foot design.
started out as independently rotating heels & toes, but after re-building the
legs I connected them & only later noticed the joints were no longer level.
This makes for a limiting torque effect so the feet won't roll completely
sideways. It can't do the splits quite like yours, but when something heavy
does the splits like that bad thinhgs are bound to happen anyway :)
