* Birkin also bears a striking resemblance to Dora Franke from ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'', an undead monster that progresses through several different forms. Its final form, Satan Franke was a particular influence, with its fleshy, red and brown color palette; grey, hideously elongated head and an additional humanoid face embedded in its chest.
