Gary Ham’s cute axolotl (aka "water monster") Wooper Looper is all set for its world debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 later this week, and what a debut it’s going to be! With Gary set to release four different limited edition versions of Wooper Looper in three different platforms, The Blot knows a ton of collectors are already drooling over this amphibian neotenic salamander.

San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Wooper Looper Painted White Vinyl Figure by Gary Ham

First up is the Wooper Looper 5.25” figure made from Japanese soft vinyl, which was designed by Gary and sculpted by Chauskoskis. This is Wooper’s very first vinyl release, and Gary will actually be two San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive colorways: the painted white vinyl with pink spray seen here ($60) and the still unseen Unpainted Pink Wooper ($50). Both come bagged with a header card and can be purchased at Gary Ham’s SDCC booth #4836.

San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Wooper Looper Custom 3 Inch Dunnys by Gary Ham

Last but not least are these two custom 3” Wooper Looper Dunnys by Gary! These look so fantastic, I don’t know how Kidrobot doesn’t make these into a production Dunny. Not much is known about these custom Wooper Looper Dunnys, but head over to Gary’s SDCC booth to find out about their availability and price. I don’t know about you, but The Blot has Wooper Looper fever! Here’s hoping I can somehow get my hands on one of Gary’s awesome new Wooper Looper vinyl figures.
