Eyeball Father, or Medama-Oyaji (目玉のおやじ), is a major character in the GeGeGe no Kitarō franchise. Medama-Oyaji has one giant eyeball for a head. He has a little body and wears no clothing. Before Kitarō's birth, he was a yōkai (ghost/monster) with a leprosy-like "melting disease," and wrapped his large, humanlike body in bandages like a mummy. Later, he perished of this disease, only for him to be reborn out of the decayed body as an anthropomorphic version of his own eyeball. His primary role in the series is to support Kitarō with his vast knowledge of all things yōkai. No supports are required. If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed. The assembled model is 90mm tall. This model was made for my granddaughter and is her favorite character.Enjoy! ...........................................................................................................

Printing and assembly tips Printing tips1 - No supports are required. 2 - There are some pieces that may need brims or rafts, use your discretion. When setting up my prints I prefer to be conservative, especially since the base of many parts are hidden when inserted into another part. For the smaller parts, a good first layer is helpful. *I used brims on: armleft armright footleft footright body eyewhite 3 - I used a transparent blue for the water for the color and shine, the transparancy aspect is not utilized and not required. ..Assembly tips: 1 - Take your time gluing the model together and enjoy the process. 2 - I used E6000 sticky craft glue to put this model together. The sticky glue allows more time to position the parts than a fast drying superglue. I have 'fat fingers' and a shaky hand, so the sticky glue works out best for me, especially with small pieces. Just remember to leave enough time for the glue to set before combining too many parts. 3 - Refer to the assembly diagrams in the pictures section as well as the uploaded pictures for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued. Do not hesitate to ask questions, feedback is essential to making better models.
