Kidrobot 18: KidMutant 8-Inch by Frank Kozik (Mar 18-release)
KIDROBOT-PRESS: Our icon is back to contaminate your vinyl collection! After Frank Kozik exposed him to nuclear radiation, Kidrobot emerges with green skin, three eyes, and tentacles for arms! Limited to only 1000 worldwide and retailing for US$50, this 8-inch aberration comes with a one-eyed, three-eared, six-legged mutant smorkin’ Labbit and arrives at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers on March 18.

CLICK THRU for a closer-look @ KidMutant and for my personal impressions.
TRE-IMPRESSIONS: The day-glo colors suddenly makes a formerly menacing-looking figure (via my warped visual-interpretations anyways haha) into something saccharine-sourish, which frankly isn't a good nor bad "thing", but perhaps will appeal to the general masses, as in this color-incarnation, KidMutant indeed looks like a "toy", which tastes of sour-apples or zesty-orange (flavors which I like) ... although I would dearly love to see this figure painted up with kaiju-sque spray-sensibilities ... but that's just me ... KR should make a custom-show out of this figure, bridging the West and East, IMHO.
[Don't know if there's a "variant" for the figure, but the "white" pants shown above,
versus the black-pants might hold a clue, if not random speculation on my part. heh]
