Was about to bring this here myself. I love it. I’m very curious as to the scale of this one. Fits perfectly with the Sketch Monster shirt that was recently re - released in collaboration with Creature Bazaar. I’d love to see how they’d potentially paint and release an all black vinyl, white painted version.
So thrilled to see a new sculpt after so many years. Flipside, I'm now anxious as it is so damn hard to get BxH releases nowadays. Interesting to see that Hiddy helped out with it in some way. The glow in the dark head and hand are fab.
@Bounch As I’m to understand it, BxH sofubi toys are produced by Secret Base. At least the newer Skull Kun are, as they’re the same molds from the Sukeru Kun, or Skull Kun DX. As far as the Sketch Monster Hiddy might’ve been more of a middle man, since it’s a new, original sculpt?
Anyone have any luck getting the Sketch Monster? One has already gone on Yahoo at twice retail which doesn’t bode well. It will be mine, oh yes, one day it will be mine...
I had the opportunity to secure one, but my funds didn’t line up sadly. Hopefully when the first painted release drops I’ll be more prepared! I’d love to see a size comparison next to, say, a current Skull Kun!
Goddamn. I had read that it was 11” tall, but next to the CMC Kid it’s massive!!! Definitely hoping for a painted version to arrive soon!
Waaaa I didn’t even realise even it was up. Best of luck for the next run fellow SBers, it’s a banger!
Had it on hold in Japan, but it's just been delivered . . . and even after 4 months it STILL smells of chocolate!
These are pretty sweet lookin’, but I gotta say I’m not too geeked to pick up either. If the skulls were the same color as the bones I’d be more inclined, but they’re too close to the OG color way that I’m not feelin’ very compelled. If they were reissues of the blue body/white bones or the red body/white bones I’d be all over both!!! View this post on Instagram
Snagged this cheap recently anticipating and willing to take the risk it was a bootleghalf-assed dye job . . . but it looks and feels pretty legit. Anyone got any intel? Thinking of sacrificing a sadly forlorn surplus DX to make a killer Walder tribute!
I saw this one pop up. The lower price tag made me think a possible dye job as well, but your photos look it to be legitimately poured clear purple! Possibly a sample? Sometimes Manda’ doesn’t know what they’ve got!
With dye, I think it would be nearly impossible to tell visually if the toy is a dyed custom. You could always submerge it in boiling water for a bit and then see if there is any faint purple left in the water? But if it was done a long time ago, it might be too late to extract any excess dye. One other thing I’ve noticed with dye and why I don’t ever consider using it. It will seep into light colored paint and other toys if not clear coated. You could put a drop of white paint on the foot to lift up later. Just let it sit a week and see if it turns purple at all.
Do you think that Kun came out of the recent archive sales BxH have done? I think it would be a sample if it isn't a custom. Regardless, looks fab!
so you're the one that got it : ) i was too busy googling trying to figure out what it was to pull the trigger.
@---NT--- The Boo Berry is so, so good…BUT!!! This half matte, half gloss black is just so damn slick!!! It’s like if Skull Kun was chiseled out of a giant, black river stone! It’s a blank, only not! I feel like this particular one might’ve been inspired by Hiddy from Secret Base. He had a huge blank black toy collection on a shelf behind the counter in the Harajuku shop. I spent about 20 minutes lookin’ at it last time I was there.
