REMARKS: Sized 15 inches tall, this is yet another straight-up zero-frills "pop-culture-appropriation" with Ron English's GRIN, moving from Peanuts, to Teletubbies, to The Simpsons, to now video game characters? I am sure somewhere there is a manifesto to this "act of popaganda" ... there should be one, right?

I certainly hope there is MORE to what we see here, like perhaps a clever icon / logo printed on the back of his tunic? Or something?
