KAIJIN No.1 "LORBO"
from Jim Woodring's new figurine seires: SKUUVUUNUUM
(colorway: ORANGE)

Behold LORBO, temporalites, and shudder!
LORBO, the transdimensional stateless prodigy from the underlying realm of SKUUVUUNUM has entered your world and nothing will ever be the same! You speak of the human race continuing- phaugh! You have reckoned without the ministrations of LORBO, the catalytic emissary whose mission is to strip away the surface from your puny reality to show you the illimitable SKUUVUUNUUM where you will spend the remainder of eternity! You have long feared this day; now the time for speculating has ended and the time for involuntary enlightenment has commenced!
LORBO will make its plans known to you slowly, subtly: through the sudden appearance of new technology; through the vanquishing of ancient foes; through the retroactive alteration of history. You are not the crown of creation; to LORBO, with its 17 senses and IQ of 39,000 you are lower than a mouse is to you. And yet you are crucially important to the cosmic equilibrium of forces... as you will discover, to your astonishmnt and dismay! See the truth! Prepare for LORBO!
LORBO makes itself known to those it has chosen to interact with.If you know about LORBO,you have been selected.

about SKUUVUUNUUM
The mind of man is a restless, searching thing, plucking at the surface of reality in a relentless quest to discover what lies beneath.
Every so often a particularly incisive mind finds the way to penetrate the illusion; and for that person nothing is ever the same again. They have found the doorway to SKUUVUUNUUM, the trans-dimensional crossroads where the limits that restrict and protect humanity do not apply.
In a sense we all live in SKUUVUUNUUM. It is the stateless sea in which the tiny bottles of our lives rise and sink. It is the web of sub-physical energy from which the visible universe is born. It is the infinity-eternity that gives rise to space-time.
SKUUVUUNUUM has no size, no shape, no seasons. There is no fluctuation, no wave, no particle, no cloud of probability. The beings that inhabit SKUUVUUNUUM are not creatures. Their bodies are pure consciousness, their minds are pure empathy. They have no work, yet they do everything. They do not play because they have no work. They do not sorrow because they do not play.
The great mystery is this: why do these beings, who exist but are stateless, involve themselves in the physical world, in the lives of human beings and the history of our race? Why do they take upon themselves the burden of name and form and become involved in the lives of men and women? Why is the history of our Earth of such interest to those who can never be affected by the events here?
There is an answer to this question; but to understand it requires a life-altering education. That is why you are here. That is why you are reading this.
SKUUVUUNUUM: Beyond Illusion.


Kaijin is a humanoid monster whose size, unlike the "Kaiju" (who tend to be very large), is the same as humans. They share characteristics common to humans like walking on their feet, understanding human language, and having evil feelings etc.
Kaijins became incredibly popular in Japan when they started to appear on TV in real-life hero story "Kamen Rider" in 1971. The Shocker and Gel Shocker Kaijins such as "Kumo-otoko (Spider man)" are many of the most famous in the Kaijin history. After the series, there were many sequels made, and also spin-offs and numerous other Kaijin TV series.
Kaijiins can be humans reconstructed (mixed with animals and insects) to have special power, they can be wearing clothes with special power, they can be space aliens, robots, monsters, or beings with all kinds of magic power. They come in all kinds of shapes, colors, characteristics and they are often killed at the end of the episode. But some Kaijins appear many times as regulars on the series if they become very popular.
