LAND SHARK

This is the item requested by my returning customer that usually orders Pokemon.  He has decided to have me work on a few self-designed adaptations of Pokemon and other popular characters.  He is very talented in drawing.  This doll is an adaptation of his concept of a Land Shark that he dreamed up.  I basically used the pattern for my male doll but doubled the number of rounds and rows and stitches to make him big while adding the armor pieces.
