These little fellas have been rescued from the clutches of TLSG by Fusshop to make sure at least some of what they owed makes it to The Mercy Centre.

Measuring approximately 13cm x 7cm, each black cast resin sculpture with hand painted gold lettering is priced at £74.99. A donation of 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this edition will be made to The Mercy Centre foundation who support the children living in the many slums in and around Bangkok.

Nice one to Beejoir, Pure Evil and Fusshop for making it possible. Grab yours here.
