I would like to see a side view, it looks like it is leaning way forward.
I'm not sure if I like this yet but I am kinda getting tired of skulls all the time. Skulls are like the new bunnys.

I like this figure. I don't know much about the collab, so it looks pretty fresh (though the skull-head thing is sooo played out).
Might have to get one some day. GID! GID! GID!

I agree. That's why I want to see paint before I say how boring I find this figure. Time for a theme change. Pushead nailed the pirate: after that, skull-based figures generally are rather bland, with a couple of exceptions.

I can kinda see the Muttpop similarity, but it doesn't bother me.
Still seems like a fresh new sculpt.
Also curious about about the profile and the back of the head.
Seems stronger than some of the recent RxH sculpts even though skulls and the bandana thing seem overplayed.

It's ok, don't know if I care for the whole bandana thing though, too gangsta for me. I like skulls, but it's a skull by skull basis, sculpt and how it's used. Pus skulls are always cool, I love the new Long Neck vagina monsters skull and RxH R.Ninja too.

Madtoyz - really? I don't see it and love them. Maybe a smidge in the body but definatly not in the head. Madskull and the Capt. are their own baby!

If it were a beard it'd be way cooler. Beards > Bandanas.

Some have said that bandanas are a current street fashion rage in Japan. They also are in my SF neighborhood with some youngsters who imagine themselves to be "gangsta" too, but actually, they're just kinda cute and harmless and live with mom. In any case, the bandana to my eye looks so RxH. Despite that and the fact that I agree that skulls, while inherently cool are totally overdone in "art toys," I still really like this figure and enjoy seeing something new from SB and anything by Usugrow. Gotta get one!

Well the bandana combined with the low riding pants is the gangsta combo that messes it up for me. Not just the bandana on it's own I guess.

I could live with the bandana but the lowrider pants and love handles are annoying me.

the body and particularly the legs and feet remind me of madtoyz.
i think a nice heavily textured paint job will blow this thing up. something like what lash would do with all of the splatter and sprays.

I really like this figure. The long lanky body kinda reminds me of the Pop Soda sculpt - only less drippy. I agree with the skull theme being a bit over played but I personally love it!
I'm also happy to see SB coming out with new sculpts. Long live the Brains and Bees but it was time to mix it up.

I could live with those if it didn't have a bandana. If it looked more like some slob rather than a thug. Especially if that was a beard!
Anyway, yeah a paintjob will make this better I think too.

lowrider pants = longest lived street fashion trend ever. I wonder if that look will ever go away. I was getting chased around by guys in lowriders back in the late 80's. The only thing good about that look is it slowed the bastards down.

I love bandanas, personally I always wear a magenta one in my back left pocket, but that's just me, I'm gangsta.
