Alex Pardee Walrus Rider Toy

Alex Pardee's UP Walrus Rider has just been released and is as weird and wonderful as Alex's art. The walrus rider is approximately 11" tall and has bendy arms and a removable tusk (which fits into the rider's hand).


The Black/Green version


He even included this poem for Upper Playground:
Born with legs of a golden tint,
He'd walk, he'd run, he'd jump and sprint.

 There's nothing much he COULDN'T do,

With legs of gold and wooden shoes.

The girls all loved his limbs and knees,
For no one else had legs like these,
But jealousy arose with some,
Cause' HE was having all the fun!

So late one night upon his slumber,

Darkness drenched with rain and thunder.

There he slept and dreamt of blondes,
But when he woke HIS LEGS WERE GONE!

Who would do this tragic thing?
What good is a bee if a bee cannot sting?

And what good is HE without legs at all?
Now he cannot move and he's not that tall!

So he hopped on the back of his bestest friend,

And together they ride as he seeks his REVENGE!
