Product Type: Animal Figurines

Run a thumb along the shoulder of this one and the shag is not paint, it is cut into the surface. The mane is modeled deep at the head and front and thinned right down over the hips, which is both what the real animal does and what stops an eight inch figure looking like a lump. It is the heaviest feeling piece in the North American group.

  • Texture cut, not printed. The fur is modeled into the surface, so handling will not wear it off.
  • 8.25 inches long. 4.75 tall at the hump, which asks for real shelf depth.
  • Low, wide stance. Weight sits low, so a knocked shelf does not tip it.
  • Painted one by one. Brown graded from the shoulders back rather than applied flat.

Front Loaded on Purpose

A bison walks into a blizzard rather than turning away from it, so its insulation is stacked where the weather lands and tapers behind. The sculpt keeps that gradient, and a figure that carries an even pelt from nose to tail has quietly got the animal wrong. On a display piece this is the detail that separates one that was researched from one that was styled.

Built to Be Handled

This is solid through rather than hollow, and the mass shows up as stability. A four year old can carry it around a room and set it down hard without it going over, and it will not skid off a sloping desk. Anyone who has replaced a top heavy figure twice will recognize what that is worth.

Bison, Not Buffalo

Genuine buffalo live in Africa and Asia and are not close relatives of this animal at all. North America has bison; the nickname simply stuck. If the piece is heading into a classroom, that correction is one of the easiest wins a child gets to score off an adult.

Questions About the Bison Figure

Is it hollow? No. It is solid, which is where the weight and the stability come from.

What are the dimensions? 8.25 inches long and 4.75 tall at the top of the hump.

Can children play with it? Yes, from three years and up, and it is built to survive being played with.

How is it cleaned? A damp cloth. Keep abrasive sponges away from the modeled fur.
