An artist and TikTok user, Umbratundra, shared a video showing off their amazing Ninetales doll they made by hand that’s not only life-like but is fully posable. According to the fan, the process took over 40 hours of hard work to bring the fierce fox to life. Umbratundra admitted it was a lot of work and a challenge, but in the end, they are glad they didn’t give up. The response from otherPokemonfans was met with high praise, with many wondering how they could make one for themselves. With all this talent out there,perhaps The Pokemon Company should hold contestsand hire these fans to design newPokemon.
Ninetales has been around since the very beginning of thePokemonseries. As the evolved form of the adorable Vulpix that belonged to Brock in the originalPokemonanime, its design is thought to be based on the red fox and the kitsune from Japanese legend. Umbratundra’s Ninetales' creation is currently up for auction and could fetch hundreds of dollars by the time the auction ends on December 15. The artist also stated they are self-taught in creating art dolls and used YouTube videos to hone their craft. While it wasn’t aPokemondoll that went viral recently, acomic combiningPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Nemona andDragon Ball Zalso captured fans' interest on Twitter. These recent fan-art examples are givingPokemonfans a lot to talk about.
AlthoughPokemonScarletandVioletmay be the lowest-rated main titles on Metacritic, the love and appreciation for the Pokemon themselves from its fans is not going away anytime soon. From generation to generation, the talent in this community will only continue to grow.
