I like the blood, or whatever it is on his feet and the blue eyes, im guessing that\'s a 20mm base too
I think if you can get a bit of colour into the base without drawing attention away from the puppet it will be even better.
i voted an 8, though without being completely completed its morelike a 7.5
Can\'t wait to see the master of puppets if this kinda quality goes into his familiar.
