    The semi-reissue or "versions 2" still bugs me a little. Not even because the re-issue issue (because it's different enough to tell the difference blah blah blah) but more because I feel like it's a waste of creativity. Why do something like that? Why not do a new Booska tribute all together, maybe on clear orange vinyl?

    I'm not telling anyone how to run their toy company, not my place, but it's still a little bit of a downer to me. I'm not getting my pitchfork and torch ready under any means, or trying to get anyone on my side about it either. Just saying is all.

    I don't get it either . . . it ain't like Mori's a slacker or run out of ideas . . . the dude's a frickin' machine!

    With so many alternatives and possibilities why repeat? :?

    Well another Booska's cool, but one so close to a pre-existing Booska tribute, meh. Why not another vinyl color? (This post was an excuse to use the phrase "pre-existing Booska")

    I've never really liked the Akro before, but there is something about this one that I find truly stunning.
    I'm so tempted to break my 'no more RxH rule' and pick this guy up.

    Yup..there is nothing sexier than a one eyed, bucktoothed mutant with black cut off shorts.

    I had called S7 on Saturday to see what the release deal was on this Akro...pretty much sounded like they were gonna go up today, but alas, I don't see any record of that happening. Unless of course they went up, sold out, and disappeared without a single post being made about it.

    Anybody know? Thanks. Pretty excited to score that little guy...best colorway since the clear pink/yellow eye IMO.

    Happy American Government Holiday, to all who that applies. :)

    I just got mine, the vinyl is more forest green than blue in the photo from RxH. The bandana, wristband and shorts are all black, not dark blue which I thought looking at some auctions on YJA previously.

    I will take pictures of this and put it in the Show your collection section.

    Sweet...the gatchigon is out. I love that he is not as sought out as the others...cause that means I can pick him up easily :D.

    Random here. I don't know if anyone noticed, but I think Mori has only released red-eyed mutant heads this year--with the exception the bruised mutant head. I wonder if that's just coincidence or on purpose?

    I have noticed this.

    It seems most of the mutant heads from OG on have red eyes.

    Thanks, tavaro. I guess it's probably just coincidence then.

    the new booska head did have black eyes after second thought.

    For those who are on the fence about the brown booska version 2. get it! the vinyl is a beautiful tan color. my favorite booska head to date. I actually like this one over the OG.

    I suggest making a post in the "WANTS" section of the board. It'll make it easier and "official."
