gentleman-mummy asked: In future, what other heroes might you decide upon for new designs?

The figures lets kids play with (and learn about) great heroes from different cultures from around the globe. Our first figure is the hero Rama from the Indian epic, the Ramayana. His story is revered by millions (possibly billions), not just in India, but also in south east Asia and the...
