I hope it gets the Pushead figure treatment and isn't abused by gimmicks like "chroming" which chips shortly out of the gate or endless color swaps like we've seen with other secret base figures.
Let's see some PAINT on these things! The sculpt is there. The print on the back looks pretty cool. Now infuse new versions with some OG Secret Base creativity! As I understand it, these are exactly the way Usugrow wanted them... He wanted to preserve the simple black and white appearance of his print artwork, hence the unpainted figures with detailed printing on them.

Which kinda reinforces that these may be a one-off pair rather than multiple colourways . . . hmmmmmm.

I've never seen a SB toy limited to a total of 2 colorways. If these are going to stay single color with print on back, I reckon they'll take out the super deluxe Crayola box looking for new colors to work with....

DAANNGGG!! I sure hope S7 get these..I boubt they will just limit these to two colorways. I think alot of colorways can be done with Usugrows simple design sensibilities. I think some subtle highlights using neutral colors along with diff print patterns will generate a near endless colorways. The only question I guess is,,Will Usugrow go for it.
