    My first purchase of the year. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the crack that runs from under his right ear to his left forehead until I saw my pictures. He is 5" tall. Made out of clay, and cold painted
    I would like to know how old he might be. I'll probably just put him on the patio and use him like he was intended.

    Based on his clothing, he may be Japanese rather than Chinese, and a type of figure made in Hakata / Fukuoka, Japan.

    He's fun. Probably not worth a fortune, but for $2 it's hard to miss.

    Looks more like he's caught in a beam from the Mothership.
