    pic from Mr. Yoda shows it bagged, looks like the head and cape
    are one part. the neck & upper torso fit snug in place at the hip

    its cool that an uncut is the initial offering,
    would be great if other makers did this too

    have not checked out the site yet, doll looks great tho
    who did the sculpt? looks like Chad's stuf by Monster 5

    haha ive been eyeing this from the start- these are really great

    zoomoth has always done some cool video game keshi stuff, this big toy is a really nice addition to the lineup

    I really dig how it's to [game] scale with the Keshi. Samael is several times taller than Arthur so this really works. Also I think the Metroids from last year were even supposed to be 1:1 [real life?] scale to the baby Metroids. Just killer attention to detail from these guys.

    Wow, I want to get my hands on one of pretty much everything after checking out their site. Taking yourself out of the game for a few years leaves you with a lot of catching up to do!

    I completely agree RudeBeast. My most favorite thing I saw come out of wonderfest. I'd kill to own this toy.

    Katsushi (Zoomoth co-owner) told me a while back that all their keshi figures are sculpted by one of the guys that worked on the late 80's Japanese Neclos Fortress line.

    I can't recall his name off the top of my head, but here is a pic of the three at WF:

    Based on the pic, I am guessing that he also did the new sofubi, but I am not sure...

    A few Zoomoth Keshi in my collection:

    It's a toy from Chomakamiura/super ghosts n goblins.

    The middle section of the pollen kaiser's belt thing is partyball.

    I keep coming back just to look at that gorgeous unpainted blue. I really need one of these as a centerpiece. It's so killer.

    I love how it's in scale with this tiny version of Arthur they also made. Those games were all so damn hard.

    I prefer the gargamel versions but these are very close second.
