Tiny Flexi Manta Ray| BONBON Capsule Surprise

Tiny Flexi Manta | BONBON Capsule Surprise

A tiny flexible manta ray designed as a mini surprise collectible for the BONBON 2.7-inch capsule vending machine.

This BONBON version is based on my larger flexible manta ray design, but scaled and adjusted to fit inside the official BONBON capsule checker. The curved body shape, segmented details, and cute eyes make it a small ocean-themed collectible with a simple fidget-style movement.

Designed to fit inside the official BONBON 2.7-inch capsule checker in a curled position.

Important Capsule Fit Note:
This model is designed for the BONBON 2.7-inch capsule contest.
