{"product_id":"spine-crest-hyena-figurine-4d3285","title":"Spine-Crest Hyena Figurine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sculpt depicts a spine-crest hyena — a large predatory fantasy creature with pronounced dorsal crest plates, knobbled skin, and powerful, digitigrade limbs. The pose is dynamic and low to the ground: the creature snarls with jaws open wide, teeth and elongated canines exposed, ears pinned back, and a thick tail poised for balance. The body is covered with irregular armored plates along the spine and scattered keratinous nodules across the flanks and haunches. Forepaws show extended claws and banded straps around the wrists suggesting scavenged gear, while the rear legs are muscular and structured for a pounce. The sculpt sits on a circular scenic base populated with skulls, rib fragments and organic detritus which tie the figure into tabletop and diorama scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisible details to note: dorsal crest made of overlapping blade-like plates; asymmetrical scarring and pustular skin forms; exposed teeth and a pronounced muzzle; individual toe pads and claws; decorative straps on the forelegs and small bone or metal accoutrements. The base has several stacked skulls and scattered bones, integrated rocks and textured ground to read at small scales. The silhouette is intended to read clearly from the front and three-quarter views, with a low center of gravity suitable for single-piece or split-piece printing depending on the desired workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePackaging and scale: Miniature Reality supplies one 1:87 (HO) master STL intended as the canonical print-size reference. This listing includes the single 1:87 master file plus a short conversion note explaining how to scale the file to alternate scales (for example 1:72, 1:48 or common tabletop sizes). Customers who want other denominational sizes should scale from the 1:87 master; we do not provide multiple native-scale masters. The 1:87 master places the creature as a substantial tabletop presence while keeping base footprint manageable for most hobbyists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint notes for experienced hobbyists and 3D-print operators: the sculpt contains high-relief surface detail — dorsal crests, skin nodules, teeth and bone fragments — so orientation with supports under overhangs is recommended for resin and filament workflows. Thin elements such as the crest tips, some strap ends and the exposed canine tips may require slight reinforcement for larger scaling; designers often thicken the tips by 0.1–0.3 mm for very small print targets. The base integrates many small skulls; to preserve that detail, print at a higher resolution or orient so skull faces have minimal unsupported overhang. Hollowing the base with a drain and escape holes will reduce resin consumption and cure stress for resin prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended uses and fit: this piece works as a display collectible, centerpiece mini for fantasy gaming, or a dramatic diorama predator. Painters will find deep contrast opportunities in the creases under the crest plates and sculpted pustules. Wargaming groups and narrative scenarios can use it as a creature token or boss encounter piece — the base footprint is designed to register on round bases commonly used in tabletop scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is included: the 1:87 master STL file (single canonical file), a short readme with recommended print orientation and scale-conversion tips, and baseline notes on supports and thin-feature handling. Licensing: this is an unbranded fantasy sculpt intended for hobby use and personal printing; see the product license information at checkout for commercial use restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes and uncertainties: the sculpt is an original fantasy creature and not a reproduction of an existing IP. Real-world prototype dimensions were not provided with the source; the 1:87 master is the distribution standard and conversion guidance is included so hobbyists can adapt the piece to their preferred scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miniature Reality","offers":[{"title":"1:87","offer_id":44200985624663,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2078\/1911\/files\/camera001_c2ccc40f-c413-4819-b516-49e4de10f794.webp?v=1787869531","url":"https:\/\/miniaturereality.com\/products\/spine-crest-hyena-figurine-4d3285","provider":"Miniature Reality","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
