Glossy, Nightmare Reptile


Mutant Vinyl Turtle

Touma's Skuttle really popped out at me when I first saw the design. Sporting the trademark sharktooth grin, this piece itself is quite rare, being one of only 111 in existence. This variant was made for the Japanese company One Up, but the design itself made its debut at the Taipei Toy Festival. What you can't see is the awesome sketch Touma himself did on his half-shell. Everyone at the show was lucky enough to receive a personal sketch from the man himself and I think the toy is much more meaningful for this touch.
