This is Shrympee. He's the imaginative creation of artist and illustrator David Chung (aka "The Chung"). This figure, to our knowledge, is available out thereabouts in three colorways: original, old timey (b/w) and Blue Prawnee which is the version we are looking at today. The vinyl figure measures 3 inches from head to tail and is painted in colorful blue hues with animated markings in black. We love not just the overall design, but the attention to presentation (ie. paper "noodles") and convenient pull-tab top. After I opened him up I placed him on the windowsill in the kitchen where he looks great peeking out of the container!

If you collect marine life figures, love quick meals or simply are looking for a no-nonsense happy figure - just add ramen - and get this! Produced by the very good folks at 3D Retro it is available directly through the artist as well as through quality vinyl vendor, My Plastic Heart. (but hurry as they are low on stock!)....
