Mini Resin Animal Figurine for Screen Edge and Dashboard

The monitor edge stops being an edge the moment a small koala hooks its paws over it.

You choose one animal, it arrives in a bubble bag with a single 3M pad, and it takes about four seconds to place. Front paws over the front of the screen, body and rear behind, and from where you sit only the face and those two front paws show. Walk round the back of the desk and you find the other half of the animal, a rounded rear with a small tail, sitting flat against the housing.

Each one is cast in resin with a fine sculpted fur texture over the whole body and a matte finish that throws no glare back at you. The faces are painted: black eyes with a highlight, a small nose, and on most of the six a pair of pink cheeks. Nothing here lights up, moves or needs power.

Key Benefits

• Six characters, one per order Bear, panda, pig, shiba, bunny and koala. You pick one and it ships on its own.
• Straddles an edge or sticks flat The shape is sculpted to sit astride the top edge of a screen, and the maker includes one 3M adhesive pad for the surfaces with no edge to grip.
• Sized to a screen bezel Between 4 and 4.5 cm across and 2.5 to 3 cm deep depending on the animal, so it clears a thin laptop lid without hanging over the picture.
• Matte resin, sculpted coat The fur texture is cut into the cast rather than smoothed away, so it reads at close range and the surface stays free of reflections.
• More than a monitor The maker lists computer screens, TV stands, car dashboards and navigation screens.

Best for: a monitor that faces a room, a car dashboard that needs one small thing on it, and small desk gifts. Each animal has its own measurements, listed below, so check the depth before committing one to a very thin bezel.

Why It Works

The whole design rests on one idea: the animal is sculpted lying down with its arms forward, so gravity does most of the holding once it straddles an edge. That is why the rear half is as finished as the front, with a tail and hind paws detailed for the person walking behind the desk rather than the one sitting at it. The 3M pad exists for the other case, the flat dashboard with nothing to hook over.

How It Fits Your Routine

Day one it goes on the monitor and you forget about it until somebody on a video call asks what is sitting on top of your screen.

Later it tends to move: the dashboard, the edge of a shelf, the top of a picture frame. Straddling costs nothing and leaves nothing behind, so it can be relocated as often as you like as long as you keep the pad back for the flat surfaces.

Dust it with a dry brush. Resin is happier away from a hot dashboard in full sun, and the adhesive pad is the part that will give up first if the car gets very hot.

FAQ

Do I get all six animals? No. Each order is one figurine of the animal you choose, with one 3M pad.

How big is it exactly? It depends on the animal. Bear 4 x 2.5 x 4.5 cm, panda 4.5 x 3 x 4.2 cm, pig 4 x 2.5 x 4.2 cm, shiba 4.3 x 3 x 4.5 cm, bunny 4.5 x 3 x 4.5 cm and koala 4.2 x 2.5 x 4.5 cm, as printed on the maker's own photographs.

Does it need the adhesive? Not on a screen edge it can straddle. The pad is there for flat surfaces such as a dashboard, and one pad comes with each figurine.

Is it a toy? No. It is a small resin decoration with painted details, sold for screens, shelves and dashboards. The maker states no age rating and it is not built for handling by young children.
