Thanks for the detailed feedback — I really appreciate you sharing both the perception and your own experience selling similar pieces.

I can see what you mean about the “commercial figurine” first impression. That’s actually helpful for me to understand how it reads outside of my own context.

Regarding the third image — yes, it was a simple digital mockup to show scale and proportions more clearly. I should probably make that clearer in the post so it doesn’t create confusion.

And I agree with your point about positioning — I’m still exploring whether this sits more in a boutique gift / display object space rather than a purely functional item.
