Weve wanted to do an ungulate-type critter for a while now, unfortunately things kept coming up, and we had to do some experimenting with new joints that would give the appropriate range of movement in the knees, hocks and fetlocks. The good news is, weve got these guys to show for it (the bad news; were so very, profoundly tired).

Gruffs stand approx. 83 at the shoulder, and are about 13.53 from nose to tail. Theyve got full articulation down to their bitty cloven hooves, with a realistic range of movement without the fragility of wire. Their heads and hooves are cast resin from our original sculpts, hand painted and sewn using faux furs and heavy duty felts.

Each of these gruffs is sewn in a slightly different variation.
The chocolate ripple has no leg feathering, and a fur belly, but a heavier mane that covers his shoulders. The nanday variation (green, turquoise & black) has extremely long leg feathering, and a scaled belly, and the sandy spot has medium leg feathering to go with his scaled belly.
These are the first of the gruffs weve put online; were hoping people like em as much as we do (I need an excuse to make a tiny saddle and bridle for one!).
