 Happy Saint Urho's Day! 
Happy Saint Urho's Day! (March 16th)
In Celebration of the Peudo Patron Saint of Finland who saved the ancient Finnish vinyards
from the grasshoppers with his mighty pirchfork.
http://www.theminx.com/iss3vol2/legend.htm
It is a debatable holiday made up in the 1950's.
An excuse to wear purple and drink (and rid the land of grasshoppers)
But how often can a person find a holiday to tie in with Cocobat figures?

Wow! That's too awesome! I didn't realize that a cut up 12" figure would fit so well on a Skullbrain - the helmet fits perfectly!

erm, It didn't start out fitting perfectly.
Sealing the bloody helmet is a real pain.
Then I had to torch and stretch the helmet forever to fit right.
Otherwise it was making the eyesockets all scrunched up.
I had to chop up THREE different Dokurokings to get everything to work out. (Add up the cost in your head...)

Just kindly warning tho on the crocs & bonz.. beware that if the swivel joint is not lined up correctly and you pose the leg at an angle the buttocks pin will snap and you will have another broken coco! that soundz kinky but it is 100% true.

i never had any issues with the 12" lines but the 9" and 4.5" are not designed as well as they appear to be. Love them just the same.. pickleloaf just send the batta to my box and I will happily repair the hopper!
COCOBAT ARE AWESOME!!! I wish there was a Fire Ant figure or Tsukiookami one or a Ghost Tree Giant monster or a... ok I love Cocobat, I'll shut up now.

I love the the story about padre wielding a pitch fork, It reminds me of morrissey "Wielding a bicycle chain why won't you change? "I will not change and I will not be Nice"
