Skulls!

Stitch Mickey Skulls Plush

There's a lot of folks in Japan who are quite partial to goth culture, thus, it's no surprise Stitch has started decking himself out with some more macabre accessories.

Look closely at the Stitch plushie above (which was probably a UFO prize) - see anything interesting about those skulls?

I believe the Stitch wearing the Russian-style winter hat is just generic, at least, I don't know of any cultural reference he may be parodying. But, is that skull on his hat winking at me?
