That was my first thought when I saw the pic. I'm not a fan of Shikaruna, but I do like Skinner...will be interested to see how it turns out.


Shikaruna does some great detailed work on a lot of their sculpts that will match Skinner's nicely. I think it's a perfect combination.

Agreed. This is shaping up to be pretty much the ideal situation. Very exciting stuff!

Got the OK from Skinner to post this pic from Wondercon. I don't think anybody (even Skinner) knows what the final toy will look like.

i was close but no cigar :lol: yeah, the notes do sound like a full body to me too. it's cool that skinner let shik & lulu run with some sketches to see what they come up. i'm even more excited now, as i love to see artists collaborate with out a bunch of ego mucking it up.

if you read the notes looks like theres a recuring concern with matching the heads with a body, as if they were designing heads for a pre-existing body...

So no skull body, Well no body in general haha. I am alittle less stoked then I initially was, BUT I am all for changing things up. And him using the japanese vinyl to make a bust MAYbe interesting. I'm hoping for some substantial heft on this atleast.

:( That busts my hopes for a full figure with this design.

Though a bust is not for me, it will be interesting to see what the scale is and how people display it.

I'll withhold judgement until I see a final product... with that being said, I fucking hate busts.

I like busts. Busts are nice to bury ones head in...plus Skinner's is inspired by emerging sharks.
