MARTH (FIRE EMBLEM)

This is an adaptation of my seamless doll in a more masculine form.  This doll was a request from a co-worker for her son.  Marth is a fictional character from the Fire Emblem series, developed by Intelligent Systems and owned by Nintendo.  This is my interpretation of the character.  My co-worker told me when I was making Marth that he was the beginning of a series of dolls inspired by the characters from the Fire Emblem game series for her son.
