From BIG RAD WOLF's Tiny Accessory to a 6" Sofubi Monster! Dollar Slice Bootlegs Unleashes KILL YOU DEAD at DCon Vegas!

Okay, now THIS is how you take something already ridiculous and make it even more awesome! Dollar $lice Bootlegs (D$B) is bringing a brand new sofubi release to DesignerCon Las Vegas 2026, and if you're familiar with his BIG RAD WOLF figure, this one should look VERY familiar. Say hello to KILL YOU DEAD, a 6" tall, skull-shaped sofubi waterpipe that's gone from a tiny accessory to a full-blown collectible of its own! That's right! Remember that rad little skull bong accessory that BIG RAD WOLF carries around? Well, D$B decided it deserved a promotion, and now it's getting its very own oversized soft vinyl release. I mean, come on... how awesome is that?!

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the all-clear version, so naturally I had to fire up the camera and give this thing a proper SpankyStokes unboxing! And let me tell you, this piece is a trip! The sculpt is absolutely loaded with character. Those deep, hollow-looking eye sockets, individually defined teeth, creepy grin, and pronounced skull features really stand out, especially with the entire piece being cast in clear sofubi. The tall neck rising from the skull and the smaller tube extending from the side give it that unmistakable waterpipe silhouette, but there's still something wonderfully cartoonish about the whole design.

What I really dig is how different this figure looks depending on the lighting. In natural light, it's almost crystal-like, with the clear vinyl revealing all the little curves, edges, and sculpted details. But throw some blue lighting into the mix, and WHOA... it's a completely different-looking piece! The skull practically lights up with this wild electric-blue appearance, making the eye sockets, teeth, and transparent surfaces pop. Just check out the photos I took, you know exactly what I'm talking about!

And that's one of the things I love about sofubi. You can take a sculpt like this, change the vinyl color or lighting, and get a completely different presentation without changing the character itself. Of course, the connection to BIG RAD WOLF makes this release even better. I've covered D$B's oversized troublemaking werewolf for years, including plenty of wonderfully ridiculous colorways, customs, and collaborations. Seeing one of the character's signature accessories get its own standalone release feels like a pretty perfect continuation of that world.

KILL YOU DEAD will officially debut at DesignerCon Las Vegas, November 13-15, 2026, where Dollar Slice Bootlegs will be set up at BOOTH #1517. This all-clear edition won't be the only version making an appearance either, as additional colorways are planned alongside a whole bunch of other goodies from D$B. If you're heading to Vegas for DCon, definitely swing by and check these out in person. There's just something about seeing a really great clear sofubi sculpt up close that photographs don't always fully capture.

I've also got a brand new YouTube unboxing up where I take a closer look at KILL YOU DEAD, check out all the details, and show how this wild skull looks under different lighting. If you're into designer toys, sofubi, skull collectibles, or just appreciate the strange and wonderful stuff that comes out of the independent art toy scene, this one's worth checking out! Head over to my SpankyStokes YouTube channel to watch the unboxing, and while you're there, make sure to subscribe and leave a comment letting me know what you think of this release.
