KINKY 09 Psycho Panda Prototype Cranial 1/3 Scale Bust DCon Exclusive Edition

“Can you hold this? I’ve never tried this color before.” - Psycho Panda

When KINKY-09’s neural interface fractured, one personality escaped into an unfinished imagination state—a place where ideas became images before logic could interfere.

She came back in vibrant colors.

Psycho Panda experiences emotions as pigments and thoughts as shapes. Joy spills into electric pink. Curiosity flickers acid green. Her vibrant shell is a living record of everything she feels.  Her eyes refuse to settle into one expression. Fragments of shapes form overlapping gazes—some innocent, some sad, some threatening.

She approaches a broken world with almost childlike innocence, convinced that anything can be made beautiful if someone cares enough to change it. Her curiosity makes her unpredictable—always excited to try something new, without knowing exactly what will happen.

Some call her an impossible afterimage of M9E’s Phantom Panda.

When asked about the project, Daytoner states:

Not too long ago, PureArts and I decided to create a DCON-exclusive colorway for Kinky. The brief was: “Let’s make something fun!” Honestly, that stressed me out :D There’s generally not much “fun” in my universe, and my color palettes are always pretty damn controlled.

The first few attempts looked horrible—I didn’t feel any of them.

Once I switched the color palette and let myself experiment with odd fades, I started loving it :) It still felt like it could sit in my world, just with more color.

One feature I love is the eye area. I thought, “Maybe some eye-ish stuff, while trying new things?” and started adding patterns. Now I love this eye cluster!

I sometimes look for different faces in characters or products, imagining different elements as the eyes. This design invites you to do exactly that! I see the pink dots as the eyes, but the other elements create different expressions if you want.

Which eyes do you see?
