I only wish there were more pieces involving one of my favorite villains; Feathers McGraw.

Might be a dumb question but are they actually made of clay?

some are
reply> Feathers McGraw’s body, including his wicked flippers, is made of clay, crafted over a fully jointed internal metal armature. The red glove he famously wears as a remarkably effective disguise — one that somehow seems to fool Wallace every time — is made of silicone. His eyes are glass pins, while his beak is fast-cast resin. The tea-stained mug he grips is resin. He comes displayed on a wooden base.

That looks to be what's being auctioned.
