I fell in love with DreamHigh Studio's Otto, the Otter, the first time I saw him in his armour back in December. He reminded me of the tiny animal knights fighting alongside the characters in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe's Prince Caspian, and would fit in perfectly with my tiny Elf Knight army. So I ordered him, and after several delays, he arrived in August.
I was busy with other projects, so it took a while to finally address trying to finagle his armour onto him. it was all laced together with fine elastic and was a huge challenge to get him into, but I did succeed. I found the red scarf he came with was a bit too bulky, so knit him a finer, new one. He also needed a weapon, and I still had a few more sword charms which were the perfect size.
