REVIEW: Dookie-Poo Vinyl (Part 2)

Background

It was a little over a year ago that we introduced you to the first four Dookie-Poo vinyl figures. Designed and created by artist Manny Galan, the character was brought to vinyl form by Chaotic Unicorn as a series of seven variants. Recently, they dropped the remaining three characters: Dookie-Bloo, Bigmouth Dookie and Dapper Dookie Decoy.

Dookie-Poo is a magical ground burrowing creature known technically as an "ELFCHIDNA."  Dookie lives in POOVILLE but in his never ending quest to become friends with the entire world he can be found anywhere, at any time!  Dookie-Poo may have the IQ of topsoil but his big heart, boundless optimism, and innocent outlook on life makes him the most loyal and best friend anyone could ever want.
