Slappy the Dummy is the mascot of the Goosebumps franchise and the main villain of the Night of the Living Dummy saga.

In his early appearances, Slappy has brown hair and blue eyes. His lips are painted bright red and curl into a sinister smile. He also a chip on his lower lip. He wears a gray suit over a white collar and a red bowtie. The collar has been stapled and his body is just painted white.

90s Slappy

Yeah, because of her great design and tomboy personality, Yamato is easily in my top 5 favorite One Piece waifu after Hancock, Robin and Nami, I really love her Hybrid.

Not to mention, she would STILL be the perfect next Straw Hat.

Though she SHOULD should find her own identity now, instead of larping as Oden.

Also if your one of those that will argue about her gender, you will get BLOCKED, because ive been over this a million times.

1. Kaido calling her a boy and her looking up to Oden doesn't mean nothing**.**

2. When she's introduced, she's called Daughter of Kaido and the the Oni Princess and she's FEMALE on her Vivi Card, which was painfully obvious.

FYI, the Vivi Cards are don't by Oda, so there's official too.

3. Also she wears a Hannya Mask, which stands for Female Rage, not to mention Sanji was simping for her, like he does with every beautiful woman.

4. BTW, she identifying herself as Oden, NOT a man and Kaido was pushing that on to her too, because only men can be a Shogun.

He has a CHAINSAW for a head (with a glowing eye behind the grates)

He has CHAINSAWS coming out of his arms

He has METAL SPIKES FOR TEETH

He activates his chainsaw form by PULLING A RIP CORD IN HIS HEART

He looks so goddamn cool and badass

Well, this design somehow impressed me. I have seen poseidon design with fish features before, but this one is new. Beard made of seaweed, glowing eye, grey skin. It gives me cthulhu-deep sea vibe and I like it.

I absolutely love the shape of this creepy little freak, I love the color palette and the additional spikes, along with those bright red eyes.

it's a shame Lego doesn't do this kind of monster designs anymore, love me some strange kaijus.

Yeah, Orihime has always been my favorite girl from the very beginning, because aside from having a beautiful design, she's very kind with Godly powers.

Also SEEEE western writers, a female character can be all 3 attractive, kind and strong, in ep. 5 of Blood War, Orihime healed from multiple fatal wounds and NEARLY killed the Final Boss.

BTW, if there's any gaslighting or rude comments or defend a FICTIONAL CHARACTER just because she's attractive, you get BLOCKED.

Also really happy that her and Ichigo got married at the end, while Rukia has Renji.

GOD, its like modern Western game companies hate making female characters attractive anymore, Insomniac looks like she work's at super market while her CoC design is PEAK Comic accuracy.

This makes me REALLY want Lady Deathstrike and Mystique in Marvel Rivals so we can see them done better from the MVP east.

Also you add this under Loved and HATED character design too.

This could stem from me not playing gen 3 much, but zigzagoon and linoone weren't too memorable to me. Sure Zigzagoon is cute, but Linoone...man that design was plain. The shades of brown and cream just dont work well here at making them memorable, outside of belly drum e-speed and pickup.

Come Gen 8, and their galarian forms were introduced. Turns out, just giving them a punk rocker's wardrobe helped make them look cooler. The high contrast black and white colors make them pop, and the addition of their dangling out tongues gives them a more mischievous look that is a far departure from their neutral looking Hoennian forms.

Obstagoon then cranks it up to 11 by essentially becoming Gene Simmons. The fluffy grey jacket and ankle bands help break up its monotone black and white, while also looking relatively natural. The main stance it normally takes on, where it crosses its arms together to use its signature move Obstruct, also makes it look somewhat intimidating, not helped by the red eyes it has had since Zigzagoon as well as its broader shoulders...even if a martial arts move easily sends it packing.

This might be one of the most unique Harley Quinn designs and it's not talked about enough as it should be. The 1920s flapper girl outfit looks great, being black and white kinda gives Betty Boop vibes and since she doesn't have a silver age design because she was made in the 90s this was a good choice instead of the usual court jester look, just love this design for Harley

These were concept designs for the Transformers/GI Joe comic mini series meant to take place during WW2. However these designs were never used, likely due to the comic’s style no longer fitting these.

I do consider these “Top Designs” because of how each character’s design was adapted to fit a WW2 era alt mode while also maintaining a transformation scheme that can be clearly followed by just looking at the alt mode and robot mode as if they were also made by a toy designer as well as a character designer.

Autobots:

1. Optimus Prime

2. Prowl

3. Bumblebee

4. Ironhide

5. Ratchet

6. Silverbolt

7. Hound

8. Superion

Decepticons:

1. Megatron

2. Starscream

3. Soundwave

4. Shockwave

5. Onslaught

6. Blast Off

7. Vortex

8. Brawl

9. Swindle

10. Bruticus

You know what’s better than a dragon? A robot dragon being a transformer that gains sentience and becomes sapient. His more different design instead of being a combiner was interesting. Also being used to hunt down autobots, with his creator being Shockwave as well. A transformer dragon who’s big and powerful enough to win fights against whole groups of autobots, Optimus Prime, or almost defeat Megatron.

Curly the Skeleton is the former mascot of the Goosebumps franchise. He has been featured on several pieces of Goosebumps memorabilia.

On most memorabilia, he is depicted with round glasses, a scarf, a pink Mohawk, and red eyes. On book covers and calendars, he is depicted with a white buzz cut and black pupils. He is also often depicted alongside his pet bulldog, Drool, on these covers.

Created by Tim Jacobus, cover artist for most Goosebumps books.

This artist creates new characters based on the design sensibilities of various tokusatsu series (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Metal Heroes being the big ones in that order obviously) and they do a great job of replicating the specific themes of various installments — the monsters of Kakuranger were Japanese yokai redesigned with a 90s urban/hip hop theme, so a nekomata (100 year old two tailed cat) is combined with MC Hammer/MC Skat Kat (slide 3)

Battle Fever J originated as a pitch from Stan Lee for an Avengers series and the heroes are loosely based on Marvel characters like the Black Panther, Colossus, and Miss America; the artist posits a sixth ranger called Mr. Hulk. Similarly, a “Pastel Penguin” is created as the sixth member of the bird themed Chojin Sentai Jetman team. (slides 3 and 2 respectively)

They also really love the animal themed hero designs of Choujyu Sentai Liveman and have riffed on them extensively with a whole “Parallel Liveman” series featuring some unusual colors and silly animals like a pigeon, hippo, or domestic dog (slides 8-11)

(they do a lot of octopus themed monster designs, I didn’t include any here because they just aren’t my favs but i admire the dedication, I’d estimate one in eight, appropriately, of the total output is octopus monsters)

I mean WOW.

This guy has a sense of terror and raw power I’ve rarely seen on a page.

Widely considered a highlight of the season, Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age has a wonderful segment featuring the largest Great Ape on record. Gigantopithecus Blacki, and does he look glorious here.

I love this depiction of Gigantopithecus for many reasons, but to talk about his design.

1. Unlike many depictions of the animal, Gigantopithecus actually looks like an in the flesh animal and not a fantasy creature or a generic bigfoot. Carefully shaped anatomy really give this guy the believability of a real animal while also maintaining the awe factor that comes with a near 10 foot ape.

2. Many designs also tend to lean too heavily into resembling Orangutan given their relations, but Prehistoric Planet manages to show the connections between the two animals in subtle ways while allowing the Gigantopithecus to remain a visually distinct creature. Both creatures possess long and droopy coats but especially of note are the similarities in facial structure such as cheeks snout and teeth. I put some notes from a paleo nerd friend I am keeping anonymous here.

Both of these points to create an incredible look for the animal that manages to be both fantastical and grounded. It is for these reasons why I think the design belongs here.

Prehistoric Planet has always excelled in the art and design department, and I believe Gigantopithecus to be one of the best designs from the show.

(Intended subject was Rath or Kickin' Hawk)

Jokes aside, despite his name, The Worst is literally one of the best at being the ugliest thing ever conceived.

He's obese. He has warts. His teeth are mishapen. His finger nails look like a Temu version of Wildmutts' claws. There's literally nothing cool, cute or even remotely appealing about this guy (not helped by his utility being almost zero, even the other "used as a joke" transformations like Grey Matter and Nanomech have more utility than him). And admitedly, that gives him his own charm.

Not to mention, he and the other joke aliens from his debut episode (Walkatrout, Pesky Dust, Mole-stache) serve as a reminder that the Omnitrix is meant as a tool of piece to promote harmony, not a weapon. Therefore, having guys like The Worst as opposed to a million Humungosaurs or Gravattacks is justifiable in universe.

Very cool colors, lots of unique looks, especially in the eyes and yes lots of girls. Artist is a mostly NSFW artist btw

RREBLE is a robot designed by the protagonist of the Self-Aware Robot series as a way to defeat ELBERR, the titular out of control robot who is linked himself into a data center and is mass producing copies himself to take over the world. Despite designing multiple cutting-edge robots, the protagonist has the intellect of a couch cushion and the survival instinct of piece of dry bread. Designed to be the good version without any of the psychosis of the original, this blue version was made by the idiot main character to come up with the solution to stop the robot takeover as well as directly outsmart his deranged counterpart.

Whereas ELBERR is your traditional creepypasta-style out of control terminator, RREBLE is just ChatGPT. He has the same behaviors, mannerisms, speech patterns, and responses to being corrected. Ironically, it also makes RREBLE extremely endearing not only because it naturally weaves humor into the story but those annoying parts of normal ChatGPT discourse serve as amusing character flaws. There's something oddly comforting about RREBLE being a familiar nuisance in the bizarre world of the series.

Also calling the creature designed to overthrow the original a REBEL is clever.

Some of RREBLE's goofy dialogue

"Is there any way we can destroy him?"

"Totally! I think the best way to destroy ELBURR is to infect him with a highly advanced malicious virus!"

"What are we going to do about ELBURR's army of duplicates?"

"That's a great question!"

"First, we can test the virus to make sure it works!"

"Wait, but I thought you already said the virus we made would work?"

"Exactly! You make a great point! I am 80% sure the virus will destroy ELBURR!

(After the virus inevitable fails in testing)

"Do you think it'll work this time?"

"Yes, I am fully confident that this version of the virus will be successful"

"Well, you sorta said that last time"

"You make a great point! I did say that last time! But this time I am certain!"

So disappointed that this design was just a made up story by Timber in the movie. I really love the bush hair and her stick's resembling horns of some kind and her size sales the design instantly imo. I really loved how merciful she was depicted in her first appearance in the fake story. What do you think?

Love how much it change in each dungeon cause it take forms based on the symbols of each culture, and how at the beginning it was as simple as sources of food. The eyes are a nice touch to give a clear identity.

A creature that is always massive and looks out of place compared to the other characters to show that comes from a different world. Probably you wouldn't guess that it comes from dungeon meshi if you only look at the first image.

The winged lion humanoid form is probably the most divine one, so is a nice touch to keep the horns to make clear that is closer to a demon.

Toriyama/Dragon Ball has been criticized for giving lots of characters similar bodies and faces. While I think it's a little overblown, I'd be lying if I said the critique has zero validity. I myself don't like how Moro's final form makes him look less unique. The biggest exception to this is probably the Tournament Of Power. The assignment was "draw a bunch a weird different aliens" and it was passed with flying colors.

Eiichiro oda/One Piece has been criticized for giving a big chunk of female characters the same body type and face, with a lot of the exceptions being cartoonishly ugly instead. The biggest exception to this is the woman of Amazon Lily which actually have a good amount of variety (at least in the faces) without looking like trolls.

Thoughts?

Space Marines that cleave closer to the weird art of Rogue Trader and early Warhammer 40,000. Less heroic space knights and more super-powered maniacs enforcing the rule of an evil imperium.

Baikinman is my favorite character from Anpanman

Being from a species of germ (“Baikin”) people, his design is meant to be both fly-like, and demon-like, mainly based on Beelzebub. It has officially been stated before (“word of god” trope) that the purple dot on his chest is actually a microphone to make his voice louder.

His design was used by some Japanese artists to personify germs and diseases.

Fun fact: Baikinman is voiced by Ryūsei Nakao, who is best known for voicing Frieza on DBZ. He also voiced Vaccine Man; who is a parody of Baikinman, in One Punch Man. The show and the character were inspired by Anpanman.

Her design (first dozen slides is before the curse fully manifested when she was summoned from that point of her life) is both beautifully hot and deadly. I do like her casual outfit with the glasses, and black turtleneck sweater and jeans as well. Also Rider’s cursed form Gorgon is definitely one of the better snake like monster designs in Anime in my opinion. Being essentially a kaiju in size and power.
