On Sunday, January 6th, from 12:30-2:00pm the Japanese American National Museum will be hosting a very special Gerald Okamura x Max Toy Company event! It is a conversation with Kaiju vs Heroes artist Mark Nagata about his newest limited edition vinyl figure, the Master of Weapons, a homage to the character portrayed by martial artist and actor Gerald Okamura in the movie Big Trouble in Little Tokyo, and how this project can to fruition. To commemorate the event, Nagata and JANM will be releasing this beautiful Gold Edition Master of Weapons Gerald Okamura soft vinyl figure.
This wonderful Master of Weapons sofubi figure comes hand painted by Mark Nagata and is limited to just 45 pieces. What’s really cool about this event is that Gerald Okamura will be there as well! Both Nagata and Okamura will be available after the discussion to sign the figure and a special print of the header art for the toys. Any remaining pieces will be made available at the JANM online store after the event.
