He is absolutely adorable! The only two things I would recommend is to make the hole for the fishing pole a bit deeper. The pole would be more secure then. Also, the fish is really heavy and makes Fredric want to fall forward easily so placing him out by my pond is out of the question. The wind would blow him right into the pond! I have Frederic in my Florida room with The oceans little treasures mermaid statue ( peeking inside of a clam shell) that I had also purchased from Wayfair. They both match in color and size! They appear to belong to one another! So stinkin cute together! I am very happy with this purchase!
