It doesn't looks like anything real (to me), but it's very cute. I think
it's a great fantasy switcher. The only thing I don't like about it is the
white down near the running gear. Black or dark grey seems more
appropriate, though I'm guessing that these were the parts available
considering that it is only from those two sets.

I haven's seen anything drop below 30% off yet. Perhaps they won't this year.
