EITHER OR: MY HOME-MADE OR FROM ORION FIGURE

 Totally gobsmacked by John Eaton's original prototype Mattel Or from Orion toy I saw this week I thought I'd have a crack at making the little alien.

Here's John's original and unique Or figure 

on his fabulous Major Matt Mason blog.

Here's my Saturday afternoon, my very own 'Or'. Small and neat, putting it together from scraps - a bead head, micro toothbrush arms and the rest bits of plastic -  was a load of far out fun!

I call my figure Either. 

Either Or.

See what you think.

    1. Ta Bill, it was fun. The feet went funny but I used too much superglue and it shows. Yes, a bigger saucer I agree. oddly enough though, this little one, which I've sprayed white has a pull-tie grip and would soar aloft with Either Or stuck to it if I had a go!
