mine cane from japan today 
check out the weird construction with that big glued in lplug. while the quality is pretty sloppy-glue marks, bad paint, the figure is actually kind of cool in person. it is realy heavy tho, its totally odd. I dont think its a boot as it was purchased at BXH by a bro. |

im still tripping on the construction. it makes no sense. I have 15 other versions of the Kun in this size they all are relatively lightwieght vinyl and 2 piece torso construction. are the melting ones like this too? I dont have those so I cant compare. |

I'm guessing they were going for sort of a turtle shell look...not sure why they didn't throw some color back there though. |

after hearing about the kaws head inside of the bxh/kaws figure it looks like something should be inside the back. That's kind of cool if it's to look like a shell though. |

I don't know what it's supposed to be...I liked zomboid's suggestion in this thread: http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3751 that it's BxH's version of the yokai "Kappa". |

Kappa/Water Imp?... thats what other said in a thread along with this pic: 
This is probably my favorite Kun, if not favorite BxH piece. The best is no lights in the room but the glow of a pc monitor on his face, makes sick shadows. The Kaws Kun is too plastic-y for me compared to this one. I didn't have any glue marks but a very slight paint mishap near the neck. Overall killer piece though. And I guess Moguru means "Dive". |

Resolution (maybe?): If you look at the frog dude, u will see he is made in China, not Japan like the other Skull Kuns I have. Also, his feet aren't articulated. I like him, but he is a much lower quality than the other guys. |

Lots of BXH toys are made in China, all the clears appear to be made in Japan. |

The opaque Kaws BxH are made in Japan, thats why they look so amazing. |
