‘There’s Nothing Micro About This Transaction’: Invincible VS Adds $10 Towel Skin for Rex Splode
Invincible VS, a fighting game based on the Invincible animated series, has released a new DLC cosmetic skin for the character Rex Splode. The “Towel Skin” is priced at $9.99/£7.99 and includes four color variations along with player profile accessories.
The skin draws inspiration from a comedic moment in Invincible lore—a “locker room lovers’ quarrel” between members of the Guardians of the Globe. The marketing description playfully emphasizes the humorous nature of the costume, stating it offers “more of Rex than anyone ever asked for,” reflecting the character’s minimal attire. The promotional trailer reinforces this comedic angle by depicting Rex being defeated by other characters, Atom Eve and Dupli-Kate, while wearing only a towel.
The DLC announcement includes tongue-in-cheek commentary on its pricing, with the trailer joking that “there’s nothing micro about this transaction”—a wry reference to the relatively premium cost of the cosmetic item. The Towel Skin demonstrates the game’s monetisation strategy through character cosmetics and represents ongoing post-launch content development for the title.
