    Alright, this might be tough because I have no photo... But about a week or so ago I saw a toy on IG that was a flesh-colored man-dog. It was pretty creepy and there was another photo in which it appeared that the face was removed to reveal a skull. Not sure if it was an interchangeable head or the first head was a "mask," or maybe they were different variations of the same sculpt.

    All I know is that there was a little man-dog sitting atop the one in the first photo (omake perhaps?) and it creeped out my boyfriend (which just makes me more curious about the toy, because scaring my boyfriend is one of the things I live for.)

    I searched through 4 weeks of the #sofubi tag on IG trying to find the photos in question but I'm either too tired to find it, or I found them under another tag and can't remember which. :[ I did originally ask the name of the toy on the photo but got no response.

    It called "人面犬"(Jinmenken),sculpt by Jyarinco's owner KK.
    First release at WF 1 week ago,it didn't come with another head,that skull head what you see
    was a vintage mask(or head?)They just play with Jinmenken's body.
    Jinmenken was small amount of production I hear it sold out damn quickly.
    Maybe they will have second release,who knows?Just wait and see. ;)

    Thank you!!! That's precisely what I was looking for. :D Such a creepy sculpt! I sure hope they do another release, I'd love to force my boyfriend to wake up every morning and go to sleep with it staring at him... (I know, I'm awful. Thankfully he's in too deep to escape now.)

    Thanks again! Does this artist have a website or blog I can follow?
