The third time this character has been built from scratch.
Rahul already exists as a hand built puppet and as a boxed figure. Sculpting him again meant deciding, once more, which version of him is the real one.
Every medium argues for different proportions. The puppet needed a head you could get a hand into, the toy needed a silhouette that survives injection moulding, and this one only has to look right, which turns out to be its own kind of constraint.
They do most of the work. A static figure with something trailing off it reads as movement, and they let the piece fill space it does not actually occupy.
