    That skull taco is nice, kinda reminiscent the longneck phallus toy but it certainly doesnt have the "girl scaring" factor.

    What was it someone said about sticking skulls on EVERYTHING? It's getting a little silly. I do like the fishcake head guy though. I'm not going to be able to eat ramen without thinking about that dude popping his head out at me.

    That Naruton is very reminiscent of the old Vinyl Paradise Marmits, especially the Baragon sculpts. I like it tho, thanks for posting pics.

    Skull Takos is horrible, and very amateur-ish looking for some reason. This is coming from someone who likes the Longneck vagina-phallus-slug-skull monster. I love skulls, I love toys with skulls, but yea -- this might be getting a little much.

    Totally agreed. The problem is that the skull truly does look "stuck on" as opposed to being an organic part of the creature. I love skulls too and used to collect non-kaiju skull toys but this looks more unimaginative to me than cool. Oh well, I'm sure many others will appreciate it. The hot pink is nice. :)

    Narutons are VERY cool. So odd.

    Skulls are getting cliche' for sure, but I love them. Just not on this sculpt, does nothing for me.

    I think is is just "stuck on"... I kinda love that. I like how Amapro will take an existing sculpt of theirs and modify it into a new toy.

    They definitely score big points for originality and character. They're great with color too. You know an Amapro toy when you see it. love my Onigon.

    I actually prefer the original Cephalopoda sculpts...

    The Skull Takos is a frankenstein mess.

    absolutely no originality that I can see, just slap a human skull on an insect body yay, if this crap sells well I really need to consider making toys

    Looks like something you'd pick up at one of those Halloween Super Stores.
