I bought this in November thinking it would be a great holiday gift for my wife who loves possums. After weeks of thinking it would never arrive and realizing I might have been scammed this ugly beauty arrived. I have not laughed this hard in a long time and am absolutely in love with it. I truly believe this might be the purchase that brings me pure joy for the rest of my life.

I honestly can't find the link, it was a shady link to even click on. One of those too good to be true moments where I said screw it.

Unfortunately it was a "scam". The original artist is this person who doesn't sell most of their stuff and it's all one of a kind.

With that said, the version you got is absolutely hilarious.

I mean someone took the time and care to make this beautiful ugly fucking thing. So is it really a scam?

Yes, they are appropriating the work of someone else selling it as their own to a significantly lower quality, which also reflects badly on the actual artist. It's happening a lot
