Other Mr. Bobinsky

"You think wining game is good thing? You'll just go home and be bored same as always. We will listen to you, and laugh with you. If you stay here, you could have whatever you want. Always!"

- Other Bobinsky

The Other Mr Bobinsky, created by the Beldam, was used to try to help trick Coraline Jones into staying in the Other World.

Appearance
In the book, Other Bobinsky bears a strong resemblance to the original Mr. B with the exception of having black buttons for eyes. He wore an old fashioned hat and a trench-coat where he kept his rats.

In the film on the other hand, Mr. Bobinsky holds a resemblance to Mr. B, but with many improvements. His skin-tone is a healthier shade of sky-blue with a large, well-groomed blue mustache and has black buttons for eyes. He is bald, wearing an elaborate, clean-pressed ring-master's uniform with a hat and gloves.

When Coraline searches his apartment for the ghost eye (which was used earlier during the mouse circus performance), Other Bobinsky and his circus mice was turned into a living nest of rats.

Powers and Abilities
Like the other residents of the Other World (apart from the Other Mother herself), Other Bobinsky was just a regular human being (apart from obvious human quality).

When transformed, he became a living hive-mind of rats, the suit flexible enough to crawl around the room and navigating effortlessly. The rats in question each individually comprehend their surroundings and know how to use them to their advantage, trying to sly Coraline down with the nearby cotton-candy cannons in the room.

Personality
Whereas Bobinsky was strongly eccentric, Other Bobinsky is far less spoken. Compared to the other residence of the Other World, Other Bobinsky spends the least amount of time on-screen, so the full details of his personality is never given.

When transformed into the hive of rats, his personality is shown to be very aware of the stakes and goads Coraline to forfeit. The main rat that wielded the ghost eyes was seen earlier fetching the key for the Other Mother, so it can be assumed that Bobinsky in this form is loyal to the Other Mother.
