Secret Base is right up with Real X Head as one of the leading Japanese designer vinyl makers.  Where RXH has been constantly moving forward and evolving with new sculpts in the same line, Secret Base has branched out greatly over the years, collaborating with all sorts of other artists from the music and tattoo scenes, none of which make much sense to me.  Secret Base started with a cool line of fight figures that have rotated in and out of their main focus for a while now.  When I saw this new Skullbee (the first SB fight figure sculpt) on the SB blog, however, I was sold.  Soft glass-clear vinyl mixed with iridescent rainbow glitter and a classy color combination, along with a signature Secret Base logo print on the back all combined together to make a really interesting figure that looks great and feels great in hand!  I have some extra plush guts from another Secret Base figure at home that I’m going to stuff inside this guy, but that is a tale for another day.
