"The piece features a loving grandfather as most of us see him, hobbled by time, a kind and gentle soul. From the back though, we confront how some see him, as a target of their irrational rage. The piece is jarring as it embodies the disturbing disconnect of racial hatred that strips innocent victims of their humanity."- Vinyl Pulse

Ellie A. ★★★★★

The grandpa's posture really got me when I unboxed him — that tired stoop feels so familiar. Vinyl has a nice weight to it too, sits solid on the shelf without tipping. Honestly one of the sweeter pieces I've picked up this year.

Chloe ★★★★★

The little grandfather's hunched posture and vinyl build capture such a gentle, nostalgic vibe—exactly the kind of piece I wanted for my shelf. At 6.5 inches he's the perfect size to sit among my other figures without getting lost.

Elizabeth ★★★★☆

The face sculpt really captures that gentle, weathered kindness, and at 6.5 inches it's a perfect desk size. Only gripe is the vinyl base feels a bit light, so I have to be careful it doesn't tip over when I dust it.
