Skips regular show television

Skips




 Skips is an immortal Yeti from the cartoon series The Regular Show.



 Skips is number 49 in the Television line of Funko Pop vinyl figures. He is from The Regular Show sub line.


In the real world the Yeti or Abominable Snowman is a cryptid, native to the Himalayas. First discovered by westerners in the 19th century the Yeti has long been know to the inhabitants of Nepal and Tibet. While no body has been found by western scientists, there are numerous footprints, hair samples (that identify as "unknown primate") and enough other evidence that the creature exists. There are actually a few types of Yeti reported, one a large primate like Skips and one that was proven to exist in 2013 to be a long thought extinct ancient species of polar bear.



 Skips looks like his cartoon counterpart and represents a Yeti well, apart from the pants.



 His face is very nicely detailed, with upturned nose, Funko black eyes and no mouth.



We do already have a Funko Pop Yeti, or abominable snowman, in Bumble.






My Skips figure came with a badly painted belt and pants. 
Though the hands and feet are nicely molded.



Skips chest is very nicely sculpted and has what i have seen on no other Funko Pop figure, nipples!



None of these other shirtless men (Leonidas, Khal Drogo, or He-Man) have nipples. I am unsure if Skips ability to keep his nipples comes from the fact he is not technically human or if Funko is maturing, i hope it is the later.
What do you think?



Skips is a great addition for any fan of Cryptozoology, Cartoons and even those who prefer their shirtless figures with nipples.
