Does the "answer on the card" imply doing an activity?

A metal (eg tin) glazed ceramic?

There is a metallic-looking coating yes. I am not sure what the material is - most probably a metallic paint. The base material is not ceramic (which is not a plastic:-))

Not to the best of my knowledge ... unless you count the game of statues as an activity :-)

Pretty plastic before it's fired ;)

Plaster is not a plastic. Isn't Odin religious in the broadest sense?

OK, is it a "toy" statue, ie a character from a kid's programme, comic, film etc

eg a Marvel character - Iron Man, Iron Fist, Quicksilver, She-hulk...?

Historical figure?


I'm wondering what the answer consists of.
If the name isn't significant, and it's resin or something statue of a figure, what else do you want?

Is it allegorical??!

Where did the resin come from? That is exactly the material that the bulk is made of. Unless I missed it, no-one has actually said that yet. It has a metallic looking surface coating. I would like a generic description of the item (I have given the hints here) and a suggestion of the artistic style. I can't really say more without giving it away.

Concentrate on the metallic appearance and you should get there.

Metallic paint covered resin figure of a person not doing anything except being a statue.

In a style:

?
I suspect you have something else in mind.

I would be happy with the material and the artistic style ... believe me the clues are all there. I think OhLook is quite close.

You may think so, but I don't feel close at all. In asking whether the possessor acquires these without paying, I had two things in mind: toys, such as soldiers (usually gifts), and trophies. One might also include prizes found in cereal boxes. But you say the possessor pays.

Does the item consist of a free-standing figure and perhaps a pedestal or base, as opposed to, say, an ornament attached to something larger?
