Odious is an original character from Unparalleled Universe, created by YouTuber and toy collector Wade Merrick. He's depicted as a half‑monster, half‑hero who has been cursed to live after sacrificing his soul to save his people. He earned the title Odious the Living Curse, and despite his dark origin, he has committed himself to protecting others and hunting hidden threats in his world. Originally starting as a Kickstarter release, Odious' first campaign was a major success, followed by another successful campaign.

Well, it appears that a new and exclusive version of Odious is coming exclusively to BigBadToyStore. Each has unique themed designs that let collectors explore different facets of his story. One of which is the Odious The Ronin figure, reimagining him in Feudal Japan, as he seeks peace in this monstrous world. He comes complete with a bo staff, sword, sheath, hat, and soft goods outfit. It is nice to see the Odious taking on new roles, and it is a perfect example of the rise of toy originality. Pre-orders for The Ronin Odious are now live for $109.99, with a January 2027 release, and can only be found on Big Bad Toy Store.
