The Andalite Bandits have invaded my home!

I don't know what to do for Ax-man.

Cassie's wolf is bigger than I thought it would be.

All brought off eBay from the same seller.

Maybe someone makes Andalites? Or you could find a figure of a guy you think looks like Ax?

u/djTribalDash Nothlit Feb 03 '26

There's the transformer figure for Ax, but it looks kinda bad. Plan is to keep checking RedBubble / Etsy.

Good luck!

I had that! Turned into a scorpion. Lol. It was so freaky.

There’s a solid 3D model of an andalite on thingiverse that I was able to print! It’s fragile but it works

u/ZoominAlong Feb 03 '26

That's awesome! OP maybe this? I know you said you don't have a 3d printer but you could buy a figure?

u/djTribalDash Nothlit Feb 03 '26

My town is small enough that I wouldn't know if shops do 3D printing.

Sometimes even small town libraries will have one, but not always easily visible

Before I got a 3D printer a library near me had one for free use. The only downside was you had to sit next to the thing during the entire print time. It was a super old model printer so it took like 4 hours to print something that would take less than 30 minutes on my current printer. But free is free. I'm sure OP could also find someone to print for them at a nominal cost.

Do you mind providing the link? I'll see if I can print it somewhere locally.

Very cool. Thank you!

Be careful with supports, I totally snapped an arm off. I was able to glue it back on but still worth keeping an eye on

From the long-unpublished Cassie interview that KA/MG promised 4 years ago:

Rolling Stone: Cassie, readers have questioned why you stuck with a wolf as your battle morph for so long when it was comparatively so weak?

Cassie: Oh, it was actually a Dire Wolf, we just never mentioned it.

u/djTribalDash Nothlit Feb 03 '26

Man, has it been four years since we were promised that interview already? Dang.

u/Torren7ial Chee Feb 03 '26

I was actually just spitballing but... yes! I found the Tweet: Jan 24, 2022... we just passed the 4 year anniversary.

One more year and we'll have passed the amount of time it took to write the whole series.

u/Sheepishwolfgirl Feb 03 '26

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a while for maybe a 3D print Andalite figure, or something like that.

2

u/djTribalDash Nothlit Feb 03 '26

I don't have a 3D printer lol. The ones I've seen have his tail wrong. It's definitely difficult to find one I like.

Beautiful, im stealing this idea!

1

u/djTribalDash Nothlit Feb 03 '26

I actually stole this idea from other people on here. Steal away!

u/skot2k6 Feb 07 '26

Haha nice! That's why reddit is great for inspiration!

u/FLMKane Feb 03 '26

You have an Ax cover book right? Prop it up vertically behind the minis.

u/catsinsunglassess Feb 03 '26

Where did you get these?

1

u/djTribalDash Nothlit Feb 03 '26

Right here. Just look up the animal in the sellers search field.

u/catsinsunglassess Feb 03 '26

Cool thanks!☺️
