Of course it had to stand up...that's a given. But after looking at pictures of Dumbo, I thought it would be great if it could sit (gently squeeze the front legs together to accomplish this).
Then after a few test prints the happy accident occurred. I noticed when standing, it was actually perfectly balanced on two feet!. At first I thought, “Hmm, should I fix that? Circus elephants balance.” That's when I got really excited about this model. I dressed it up, gave it accessories to stand on, and now I love it.
