EUGY Axolotl

The axolotl is nature’s great overachiever: this smiling Mexican salamander never really grows up, and it can regrow lost limbs even parts of its heart as if nothing happened. The EUGY Axolotl can’t regenerate, so build it with care: glue the numbered card pieces together in order and that famous grin is beaming from your shelf in ten to twenty minutes.
