The colorway in this one it's just amazing, but they use the Bullmark Hawaiian Hedorah colorway for this one? or it's just a coincidence

I would imagine that in person have to look better.
Personally I like the detail that has the hair of another color.

The clutter versions looked great in person and they are actually quite large, at least 13-14"

Agree!
But why so small. Don't get me wrong, I like small figures, but this just seems to want to be more standard.

“Awesome Toy x Obessed Panda “JINMENKEN”
I really like the paint job on these two, it looks great and the curly hair also gave an extra kick; I imagine they are two evil beings.

It has it's moments, and small bits are pretty brilliant, but TBH it's kinda boring. Plus, Rowdy Roddy is no Kurt Russell.

I feel like a lot of their stuff is just a little too derivative.

^^ to be fair, they did say in their IG post that it's just a large resculpt of a vintage toy, so at least they are not claiming to be original with the sculpt.

does anybody out there have an image of the original vintage version ?
side note: would love to see more bigfeet and less creepy mutts with spooky human faces.
