In Nintendo games, Kirby is round, pink, and cute. In real life, Kirby is apparently round, white, and, well...
Japanese doll sculptor Honoka created the work, putting this photo up on Twitter. The reaction has varied from people calling the sculpture "frightening" or "creepy", to others praising the artistry that went into creating the piece.
The real life Kirby sculpture is very different from the soft and cute character, which could explain the negative reaction of some. I just think it's the lack of eyes.
