Invincible VS $10 Towel Skin for Rex Splode Draws Backlash

Invincible VS added a $9.99/£7.99 Towel Skin for the character Rex Splode. The pack includes four color variations and extras for player profiles, listed on the game’s store page alongside a short trailer.

The store blurb reads: “Relive the most intimate moments in Guardians of the Globe history with the Towel Skin for Rex Splode. Based on the notorious locker room lovers’ quarrel, this Skin features more of Rex than anyone ever asked for. What it lacks in practicality, it makes up for with dashing good looks.” The trailer shows Atom Eve and Dupli-Kate striking Rex while he wears only a towel and includes the line, “there is nothing micro about this transaction.”

Players on social channels criticized the $9.99 price for a single cosmetic, noting that it represents a notable share of the game’s retail cost. Comments highlighted the price differences between recent releases: alternate skins for Conquest and Battle Beast carry similar $9.99/£7.99 tags, while an Allen the Alien skin is listed at $4.99/£3.99.

The developer has not issued further public commentary on the pricing beyond the material posted with the trailer and store page. No sales figures for the DLC have been released.

Invincible VS launched with a roster drawn from the comic and animated franchise and has offered multiple paid cosmetics and alternate outfits since release. The Towel Skin joins a series of individually priced character skins added to the game’s post-launch catalog.
