Incoming: COO MODEL - Item No: 18002 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brothers #2 - improvement?

It seems Coo Model does take collectors' feedback and comments into account. After the horrendous looking previews of the Coo Model Item No:18001 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brothers Big Brother (with Movable eyes) - pictures HERE - COO MODEL has now released new pictures of their Item No: 18002 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brother #2 12-inch cowboy skeleton figure. What's the difference? Coo Model has decided to go back to using the realistic looking skull head and skeletal hands from their original 12-inch skeleton soldier figure (to be reviewed in the NEXT post) which looks much better IMHO

COO MODEL Item No: 18002 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brothers #2 12-inch skeleton figure will come with 1/6 scale skull Head, 12-inch Skeleton body, skeletal Hands x 6, a pair of cowboy Shoes, cowboy Hat, gun Belt and normal belt, two Holsters, Shotgun (looks like a Winchester 1866 Model Yellow Boy), Pistol / Revolver (looks like a Colt 1851 Navy .36 with cartridge conversion), Metal Bullets x 6, Shotgun bullets x 6 (Winchester comes with shotgun cartridges?), pair of Eyes, Robe, Scarf, Clothes (?)

The 1/6 scale outfit and accessories, including weapons included with this set is almost identical with Coo Model Item No:18001 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brother BOSS figure (except for the vest with nipple tassels? hahaha) which makes me wonder if Coo Model will be releasing both versions (different item numbers) or just this latest version after getting all the negative feedback regarding the first previewed version. This definitely looks much better than the previous version (seen HERE) but how well it does will depend on the final factor and that is the PRICE! How much will this cost? We'll have to wait and see... In the meantime, scroll down to see the rest of the pictures :)

The skeleton removes his robe to reveal a cowboy vest with nipple tassels LOL

Coo Model Item No:18001 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brothers Big Brother (with Movable eyes)

Make no bones about it ;p This has to be one of the weirdest things I have ever seen in 1/6 scale!

This is the upcoming Coo Model Item No:18001 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brothers BOSS Big Brother (with Movable eyes). It will come with 1/6 scale Head (skull actually), 12-inch Skeleton body, skeleton Hands x 6, a pair of cowboy boots / Shoes, cowboy Hat, gun Belt and normal belt, two Holsters, Shotgun (looks like a Winchester 1866 Model Yellow Boy), Pistol / Revolver looks like a Colt 1851 Navy .36 with cartridge conversion, Metal Bullets x 6, Shotgun bullets x 6 (Winchester comes with shotgun cartridges?), pair of Eyes, Robe, Scarf, Clothes (?)

Coo Model has already released their 1/6 scale Skeleton Soldier 12-inch figure (previewed HERE) which does resemble the stop-motion skeleton soldiers seen in the 1963 fantasy feature film "Jason and the Argonauts" but this Western style skeleton takes the cake. The comical expression just doesn't do it and the freaky eyes don't help either. Coo Model Item No:18001 1/6 scale Cowboy Skull Brothers BOSS Big Brother (with Movable eyes) seems to be inspired by "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly", a 1966 Italian epic Spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach in the title roles respectively.

I do like all the 1/6 scale cowboy stuff, just not the skeleton figure.
