Looks cool, but for fuck's sake, can we stop exploiting the word "kaiju"?

Yup. Supposed to be part of the KFGU series I think, thus my initial reaction.

I like it. At least it isn't an attempt at Kaiju. Can't blame him for using Japanese quality.

Yeah, I like it too. But I just wish it wasn't part of the KFGU line.

KFGU = western toys made in Japan. It might have been kaiju-related back when Kozik and Horvath were the main contributors, but that was a long time ago.

Fair enough. I never really considered KFGU kaiju.

It just looks like baseman to me which isn't bad but I'm not a fan of his translation to toys.

I'd like it better if it worked like those old Ooze-it toys.

"Chou chou" means "stinky" in Mandarin. Maybe he picked the word up when he was in Taiwan last year, eating chou tofu or something...

I'm not really a Wonderwall fan on the best of days, but this sculpt just doesn't look like it maintains the feel of the painted version. The nose is too round, the muzzle is too small, the head is too round, the mouth is too wide and the arms taper too much. I don't really like the neck joint or the angle the head meets at either.

Maybe it's just me. I'm sure Baseman had final say in the sculpt's approval and if it's OK by him who am I to say? But I just feel that with "simple" designs everything has to be dead-on or it comes off looking cheap.

I'd have to see this from up close in the flesh to judge it. Curious what color schemes they'll use for the future 'Stinky' versions.
