  • Details
    HE WAS PERFECTLY FINE IN THE WATER, THANK YOU 🦛

    Somebody hauled this hippo out of a perfectly good river, set him down on dry land, and he has not stopped scowling since. Arms crossed, chin tucked, eyes locked on whoever is responsible, he has the exact posture of a very large animal who was mid-soak and would like to go back. Park him on a desk, a bookshelf, or the corner of the kitchen counter and let him quietly resent everyone who walks past.

    ✨ Why You’ll Love It
    A Face That Has Already Decided 😤 — The heavy brow, downturned mouth, and firmly folded arms make it clear the answer was no before you finished asking.
    Sculpted Comic-Style Character — A rounded barrel body, chunky legs, and a big blunt snout, printed in a mix of light grey, dark grey, black, and white for depth and contrast.
    Solid Desk and Shelf Presence — At roughly 4.7 inches tall he is big enough to spot from across the room and compact enough to sit beside a monitor, on a shelf, or on the office windowsill.
    An Effortless Conversation Starter — People pick him up, laugh, and then immediately decide which coworker he is.

    🧵 About PLA & 3D Printing
    Your new hippo is made from PLA, a lightweight and durable material commonly used for detailed 3D printing. He is built one layer at a time, which is exactly what brings out the folded arms, the heavy brow, and that magnificently unbothered face.
    Fine layer lines, small seams, or minor surface variations may be visible, and colors can look slightly different depending on your screen and lighting. These are normal characteristics of the 3D-printing process rather than defects, and because every piece is printed individually, your hippo has tiny variations that are his alone. PLA can soften in high heat, so keep him out of hot cars and away from heaters and fireplaces. He is built for indoor display and is not intended for food contact.

    🧼 Care Instructions
    • Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
    • Do not place in a dishwasher
    • Avoid prolonged heat and direct sunlight
    • For indoor decorative use only
    • Not intended for food contact
    • Despite his opinions on the matter, he is not made for water. Keep him out of tanks, sinks, and bathtubs.
