 Possessed Color Variant? I've been looking forward to this figure for quite some time. Apparently, a limited color variant will be released at the new Munky King store's opening. I have been wondering whether it's possible for a color variant to match or surpass the regular edition, and I've come to the conclusion that the color variant will inevitably be inferior. In my opinion, the color of the bear is significant. White stands for purity, innocence, good, etc. If the bear is a different color (ie dark brown or black), the figure won't have the same impact. Of course, people will still climb over one another to get the more limited edition.
Your thoughts?

Yeah, I'm just speculating, but I have the feeling that the color variant is going be a black bear. I saw a picture of a black bear on Munky King's homepage. I think that was meant as a teaser. I could be wrong though.

the limited colorway isn't coming out until sdcc ... the munky king opening thing is a toy/print set with the regular colorway.

it's a munky king toy ... their first. if you look on the forum on their site, they're also doing toys by thomas han and kii arens later this year. this was the prototype from sdcc last year:
there's a "sneak peek" of the final version on munky king's forum. you can see some small changes in the paint.
