For a second I thought they actually spelled it "Kirllin" (like the typo made in this thread title). Disappointed...

The expression on this Krillin toy looks very odd.

The shape of the chest looks much pointier. It could be a bootleg.

Doubt it. The top portion of the armour might have come off and whoever displayed the figure probably put it on wrong.

I suppose it could be backwards. I'm not sure how the back is supposed to look.
