Nerds and otaku of all fandoms can attest that there are few endorphin rushes that match cracking open a new blind box. For the unfamiliar, blind boxes contain one of several different toys or collectibles in a set, and there’s no way of telling what treasure lies behind packaging until you tear it open. Playboy Creator Cam Coss is obsessed with Skull Panda blind boxes, and the adorable goth cyberpunk figurines.
What are Skull Panda Blind Box Figures?
- Dimensions: Varies by figure series, but anywhere from 2.2 – 3.7 inches tall

Why Cam Cross is Obsessed with Skull Panda Blind Box Figures
These charming figures are designed by Chinese toy artist Skull Panda, and first released in 2018. These figures are child-like toys with eye-catching designs, outfits, and accessories. There are 11 different series of figurines that usually match a theme including Ancient Castle and The Ink Plum Blossom.
“[Blind Boxes] are just little knick knacks that you don’t know which one you’ll get, it’s very fun!” Cam said. “Skull Pandas are just so sick, every single one is in a different style with different theming, and they’re the coolest little collectables.”
Skull Panda figures add a smack of personality to any desktop, and make excellent gifts for anyone who’s cultivating a kawaii aesthetic. Cam isn’t the only person obsessed with these adorable figures. The Ancient Castle series famously sold 60,000 in a second when it first released in 2020.
Cam is also really into similarly popular Sonny Angels.
“They come with all types of different hats and they’re adorable,” Cam said. “Sonny Angels are just the cutest.”
Skull Panda Blind Box Figures are available on Amazon starting at $15. If these aren’t your style, you may find other boxes that sync up with your particular fandom or aesthetic.
