Novas Infinite!

Novas Infinite are from another dimension. Their name means "Beings of Infinite Light". They came to our dimension in the mid 1990s and have been popping in ever since. Interestingly, they feed on electromagnetic radiation and so love to sit near TVs and computers.

This Novas Infnite is from the Limited Edition range.
