Road to 2020: Gruntilda

The sixth figure in the Road To 2020: HNV lineup is Gruntilda the witch, from the Banjo-Kazooie franchise! Rareware is technically the owner of this franchise, which now is owned by Microsoft, but Banjo was a very popular N64 mascot when he debuted. Gruntilda's first in game appearance was in Banjo-Kazooie. As the ultimate bad guy, of course! Who else could it have been? The rhyming witch is iconic. Her design is based on the box art of Banjo-Kazooie, as well as the first cutscene with her in the game where she's schemeing. The eyes were my favorite part to model, really expressive! Notable appearances: FIRST: Banjo-Kazooie (1998) Banjo-Tooie (2000) Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (2008) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018)   Up Next: "I fear only that infernal __ you carry on your back! Stupid Machine!" 2001...
