Post frog kun weirdness
mine cane from japan today

Image

check out the weird construction with that big glued in lplug. while the quality is pretty sloppy-glue marks, bad paint, the figure is actually kind of cool in person.

it is realy heavy tho, its totally odd.

I dont think its a boot as it was purchased at BXH by a bro.

im still tripping on the construction. it makes no sense. I have 15 other versions of the Kun in this size they all are relatively lightwieght vinyl and 2 piece torso construction.

are the melting ones like this too? I dont have those so I cant compare.

I'm guessing they were going for sort of a turtle shell look...not sure why they didn't throw some color back there though.

after hearing about the kaws head inside of the bxh/kaws figure it looks like something should be inside the back.
That's kind of cool if it's to look like a shell though.

I don't know what it's supposed to be...I liked zomboid's suggestion in this thread:

http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3751

that it's BxH's version of the yokai "Kappa".

Kappa/Water Imp?... thats what other said in a thread along with this pic:

This is probably my favorite Kun, if not favorite BxH piece. The best is no lights in the room but the glow of a pc monitor on his face, makes sick shadows. The Kaws Kun is too plastic-y for me compared to this one. I didn't have any glue marks but a very slight paint mishap near the neck. Overall killer piece though. And I guess Moguru means "Dive".

Resolution (maybe?): If you look at the frog dude, u will see he is made in China, not Japan like the other Skull Kuns I have. Also, his feet aren't articulated. I like him, but he is a much lower quality than the other guys.

Lots of BXH toys are made in China, all the clears appear to be made in Japan.

The opaque Kaws BxH are made in Japan, thats why they look so amazing.
