Cometdebris glitters up his February releasesCometdebris will have three new releases this February, all going on sale Feb. 9 at 8 p.m. Pacific ( 11 p.m. Eastern, 4 a.m. Feb. 10 GMT, 1 p.m. Feb. 10 JST) in his shop, and all three are glitter-ific. For starters, there's the Tokoichi Seiju, a collab with Gargamel, done in a translucent pink glitter vinyl; it'll be on sale for US$90 . There's also a special Valentine Kappa Shonen, limited to 10 pieces for US$80, that features the kappa-themed character in a clear glitter vinyl wearing a pink heart T-shirt. The one that caught my eye was the Chocolate Kappa Shonen, a one-off piece cast in a chocolate brown glitter vinyl and colored to look like something sweet (please don't eat him). He's US$125 if you want him. I'm a bit sad there's no Valentine Sametan, but who knows; maybe we'll get a special colorway of my favorite pants-wearing shark soon! Did you know?
