    Had this guy brewing for over two years, happy to finally get it out in the world!

    About 9 inches tall with injection molded accessories. Six points of articulation: shoulders, wrists, and hips.

    It’s like one of those wacky finger rubber monsters all grown up! And with the weapons it definitely has that 80’s action playset vibe. I think it looks refreshingly fun; would probably look great in a kawaii monster collection, or even mixed in with some fight guys (at the risk of pissing off the purists)!

    Yep, been following this project for so long now, I am almost even surprised it is only just now coming to full reality. I do so love the original figure, so seeing this upsized version available in vinyl at long last, with these sweet accessories, is a real treat. I think he came out amazing, excactly (and everything) what you would want from a new version of Froggacuda. And I love the different sets of weapons. Merging the best of two toy worlds. Thanks for bringing this project to all of us fans @LastResortToys and major :thumbsup: on the execution of a wonderful toy.

    Really cool.
    Totally agree on the rubber finger puppet vibe!

    Thanks for the kind words guys :)

    And yeah, I should have also mentioned that this is from the 1982 bendy fantasy toy line The Other World--so yes, very much in the same family/vibe as the classic finger puppets!
