The march of the Minis continues into 2011 – one year to the month since the last one I completed, Mini-Jackanapes – and what does it bring us but Mini-Billiam, the ice shaving snack dispenser based on Antarctic research scientist Doctor Billiam Whitehead.

Billy’s pet penguin Maxor is represented as a tiny mug that fits into Billy’s belly. Put some ice under Mini-Billiam’s cap, crank the handle coming out of his ear to grind the ice, then flip the zipper under his chin to dispense the cool, fruity flavor into the Maxor mug.
