This is hilarious. Well done.

If you could make replicas of this Than Shwine I am sure there are many who would like to buy it and place it on their work desk as a way of advertising how evil he is. If you have one for sale do let me know. It would also be nice to have a dog version of Mg KhwAye.

How about a shark with the face of Thura Shwe NgaMann

And then the figure of Khin Nyun squatting down with his pants off, the lower half of the body naked, with stool coming out, taw-htaing, and entitled, Khin Nyunt/ Masin Sunt

Then you could also have Ne Win as the Thay Min, a devilish looking character.

This can be a very nice way to raise funds for the Revolution while publicising about it, and laughing. Most of all, we need to laugh or else it is too depressing.

I mean, think of how funny it will be if you have all these figures displayed as paperweights

on your work desk and people at work will ask you who's this.

Then, we could have a ready-printed handout to tell who's who and the evil they have done.

A grassroots way of publicising. Slow, but ---

Take one step a day,

Bagan can't run away.

I will be your first customer. How much will each Than Swine figurine cost?

Long Die Than Shwine,
