history and expertise in the world of authentic replication. The
Butterfly is the embodiment of the artistic and innovative style

of experience and applying the same care, craftsmanship and
attention to detail to these lower price-point collectible toy
lines: same way we treat our high-end resin pieces," said Dev Gilmore, Director of Creative and

collectibles, life-size monuments and even larger than life pieces,
but the great thing about digital sculpting is that the product can
be any size! So, we are taking it down a few notches to be fun,
compact and awesome so you can build new collections quickly,
without having to look at adding a wing onto your house for
them," said Ashly Powell Director
