Lemmings
breed at a rate which can make rabbits look like responsible
parents. Every few years their numbers reach such proportions
that a mass migration ensues. During the migration some
may get pushed over cliffs or drown while swimming to
new habitats, giving rise to the suicide myth. As such,
Master Carver Peter Calvesbert decided to depict this
thickset rodent as reluctant to meet his maker. The
survivalist dons a parachute, inflatable dinghy, armbands,
hard hat and goggles. He also carries flares, a mobile
phone and a knife. His two friends are less than impressed.
The interior contains a young lemming reading a “don’t
run” sign, a warning that he’s well advised
to heed.
Color
Variation:
"The production piece lemming has a gray cap
and green parachute. We’ve been told that ninety
box figurines from this 1000 piece edition show our
overly prepared lemming with a green cap and pink parachute.
Not only does he stand ready, but he dons summer’s
hot fashion color as well."
