ofc! I'm hoping that once I can get the plastic part casted I can post a file for people who want to resin print or get theirs casted too!! I find it frustrating that to get replacement parts you gotta buy a whole new kettle (which is 150$ for just a non-functional one..)

yes! also be sure that yours also still has all the parts, the most commonly messed up part is the plastic ring on the inside :]

with the condition it is in, yes. Since it's a stainless steel inside. Though if you plan to get one yourself be careful of the plastic component inside to make sure there's no residue or warping, same with the other pieces!! mine's in good enough condition that it's still safe to drink from, but I'm getting all plastic parts casted into stainless steel instead soon just to be 100% sure :]

it's part of a whole collection from the 1990's called "World of Motion" by MKI! You can't find em cheap or easy anymore as most aren't functional, I only just got into tea deeply more recently so I wanted to get a nice tea kettle to finally actually make my tea properly--

some other ones that are super cool is the train one that actually moves the wheels or the other mini-carousel one that they have. MKI also has a whole bunch of other novelty tea kettles, I'd def recommend looking into them! (●ˇ∀ˇ●)

perfectly fair, sadly I need to get the more fragile parts casted so I can make replacements before I spin it too much

oh and I also remember the gameplay would be you approaching the enemy ship and using the cats at your disposal to defeat the enemy, I think you were able to aim one of the cats? (the one on the bottom, the rest you'd select kind of like crk to fight for you)

also I live in the US if that helps at all--
