    Disliked it as a custom, dislike it now. The only cool thing about it is the Docross head.

    Colors / name inspired by this?

    Yeah, not into it despite respect for both collaborators. It's not the worst of the recent collabs, just ... not for me. I like the Blobpussy sort of Blobpus more than the Docrossy sort of Blobpus. :)

    I thought it was cute as a custom, but I don't think it's a good production piece. The styles of both artists don't jive well together.

    There was also a glittery black version released yesterday- it looked a bit better without the silver wipe.

    I was laughing at myself for typing "Blobpussy" but "Swiss Army Kaiju" is much funnier. :lol:

    this scares me, I hope we don't see a bunch of odd collabs like this

    In an effort at staying positive, I kind of like the header/logo art.

    In my opinion we already are, although opinions are going to be mixed as more come out. I don't care for Circus Punks but have to hand it to them ... the Gargamel collab was pretty darned great. Seemed like such an unlikely project at first, though.

    You know you want Exohead x Camille Rose Garcia. :twisted:

    I'm probably in the minority, but I think some more cross company/cross platform figures would be neat to see. Just from a perspective of seeing what parts from each figures are compatible...

    Exohead X My Little Pony = Kinky centuar


    I think this is a silly and lopsided goofy combo.

    I do , however like the paint combo and execution of it (The paint).

    I was intrigued by the custom - thought it was an interesting experiment which is what a good collab should be.. I wish more people took chances with their collaborations. that being said not sure it should have been a production piece.

    If someone gave me one I would keep it.
    How's that for trying to keep it positive?

    It's not thaaat bad but definitely not a production piece. I think the head and hands go together nicely. Maybe people are biased because it's Touma?

    Personally, I'm biased because I don't like Skuttles at all. They're very boring toys, in my opinion. To each their own.

    I've got to say, the all-black gives a better impression. Is that a prototype? Are you from One-Up?

    Thanks for posting, nice photos.

    I personally like both of the recent Skuttle collabs, and I hope/expect to see more in the future.

    Just paid off the Proto Black Ver. and I've got my pre-order in for the Cross Fire Ver. as well.

    I love Skuttles, but I can understand why someone might get bored of them after a while. I like the simplicity of the original sculpt and there's some great flavors. I hope the Skuttle keeps evolving though. I think it keeps things interesting.
