| Fly
Quick call Jeff Goldblum, there’s a fly about. Kinda freaky but still cool, I like the eyes. Great use of clear ears too. |
| Snake
A detailed snake with a Hidden Mickey painted onto a red background. Looks kinda like a California King Snake, but the marking seem just a little off.
|
| Western Gangster
Absolutely LOVE the cowboy hat. Looking good with the handkerchief over the face. I hope this one has a lot of grit and detail to it in person. |
| Red Dragon
A little plain for my taste. Also reminiscent of the Chinese Zodiac set. Here is a description from Penguin: "Chinese Guardian Lion or better known but incorrectly as a Foo Dog (some sort of lion like creature, of oriental style) perhaps Chi Lin?"

| Power Up
Great idea with the power symbol in the body and the circuit design in the head. I hope in person the symbol has a glow to it and the back must be more detailed with cool surprises and maybe Disney related patterns. |
| Lagoon Monster
Perfect scary face. I want to see a cool tail, but he already has the claws for hands. |
| Maori Businessman
Thanks to Penguin for the title and everyone for the "Maori" description. That is what this appears to be. I so love the mash up between the tattooed face and the business suit here. It's so odd, I like it like I like Pink Zombie Bunny. |
| Elephant Kid
What? I can't wait to really find out what this is and have an artist's explanation. It appears to be a kid in an elephant costume with (Mickey Ear Hat-like) Elephant hat with trunk and ears. |
| Chandelier
The design fits well onto the mold, but at least in concept art, I'm not sure if I can be into this one. |
| Sheep
Artist: Maria Clapsis
Since Cutesters became themed, designs like this enter the Urban realm. I really like this design. The little tufts of cotton and the horns in the ears are drawn very well.

| Toaster
Artist: TBA
An extremely simple but very cool design. The toast popping through the clear ears is just plain brilliant use of canvas. I also like the Vinylmation logo at the bottom. |
| Mystery Chaser
Artist: Thomas Scott |
