Courtesy of the intrepid forumers on Skullbrain - the previously-featured "unnamed-kaijin" by Jim Woodring x Presspop is revealed to be a 7-inches tall soft vinyl figure named LORBO - aka the first Kaijin from the new SKUUVUUNUUM series by Jim Woodring! The image above shows [l-f]: KAIJIN LORBO (Japan Version) / KAIJIN LORBO (SDCC Version) and an undetermined colored-sketch - possibly for the STANDARD Version? (and 2 versions listed at that!).
Both the Japan and SDCC-versions are limited to 50-pcs each and are available via direct email order only - both with a September 2008-release date and priced at US$60-per - and comes in plastic bag with silkscreen print of the name of Kaijin (traditional Japanese Kaijin toy style) and original artwork header card by Jim Woodring.
