Last week, we mentioned that VISEone would be making a new production designer toy, and today, we're getting an early glimpse at Tube Monster! Inspired by VISE's well-documented Tube Dunny series, the 8-inch Monster will be a vinyl figure, with the first edition being the neon-green Zombie Juice variant. More colorways are to come as well, VISE says.

It'll be Flying LuLu, a company who has worked with Toy2R, Kidrobot and ESC-Toy among others, that will be producing the figure, and in the header image above, you can see the early 3-D mock-up and initial prototype of Tube Monster. VISE is hoping to have the release this October at New York Comic Con 2012. No work on a price this far out, of course, but still, exciting news for designer toy fans none the less.

I also like how tis feels like a natural evolution of the design VISE has become known for, with just enough character to stand on its own. What are your thoughts on Tube Monster, Tomopop readers?
