Uh.. A bit too thin, like it has been squeezed or something.It is SO hard to find a good centaur figure.  The chainmail one was the first good one I had found since Ral Partha's original line.  I'm not a carver, so its likely that these things are so mindlessly hard to carve.. Either that, or the artists are too focused on Elves to know what to do with a duo-anatomy creature.Damn ogres are big..</blockquote>
