 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
I really like the colorways on those 2, but the armor/attachments just ruin them for me..

As an added surprise se3 and se4 are done on GID vinyl. Dave

Big thanks to TAG's Gino and Sean!

"Born of a collaboration between BLObPUS and AKOART, fostered through working together on custom Dokugans for gallery shows, we present the first original collaborative soft vinyl figure - BERORON! Beroron is going to take the rotten, corrupt society we live in and lick it clean until its sparklingly new!"

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
I dig it more than the customs but I don't love it. It has sort of an 80's FX puppet vibe going on for me. New arms would have been cool.

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
I agree. I would have loved to see some matching arms. Plus some insert eyes instead of painted.. But still a great looking piece!

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
Pretty cool. I just think the face looks a little 'flat', especially the way the tongue was treated. Could've been cool to see it coming at you. I like that they kept the arms, gives it that Blobpus signature mark.... Pretty cool nonetheless!

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
I like the face, just not on the blobpus body. I hope it gets its own body made that matches better.

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
Nothing for me either though I think another head design for the dokugan could work pretty well . . .

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
Looks completely wrong on the dokugan body. The lines don't match up, the face is too busy...eesh.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

This pretty much sums it up... there's too much surface detail and texture on the new head to match the Doku body. They clearly weren't designed at the same time, or really for each other well.

I also don't like the two sets of eyes. Or at least I don't like they way they have been treated here.

 Re: Blobpus News, Releases & Your Stuff
OOOH' FUCKNOOO......!!!!!!!!!!!
what Spasm & Liquid said x10.........!!!!!!!!!
I just hate that goofy looking face.... I think the original dokugans have a certain class and style where this just looks fucking terrible.... why not just make an entirely new figure instead hurling a big bag of flaming slimer shit in the face of the almighty dokugan...!!!
seriously, no offense to the hard working efforts of the collaboration or anybody involved.. it's just not my style and these are my two cents...

I'm a pretty hardcore fan of the Dokugan so it's hard for me to see that particular body with any other head, well except for the Docross heads which actually grew on me after a while.. I hope it sells like gangbusters... or should I say ghostbusters...!!!
