Nine Tailed Fox - Kitsune

As someone who always was deeply in love with mythology and folklore, and adores the playful and mischievous nature of foxes, the Kitsune has always been one of my favorite mythological creatures.

Traditionally the older and wiser a Kitsune is the more tails it got, and normally that is around 9 at most.

Its always an interesting challenge to adapt organic shapes of animals into a brickbuilt figures. I was also unsure if I should build it movable/posable or static, but at the end I decided that I should do an elegant and majestic pose similar how Kitsunes are often portrayed on statues and paintings, and taking some design from Mike Nieves' red fox build.
