He comes holding an iron mold, which is used to cast the figures, and is the perfect homage to the men and women who cast soft vinyl figures in Japan!

As artist Mark Nagata explained, “As many of you may (or not) know, I've had a life long love affair with soft vinyl kaiju since 1973. But, it wasn't till much later that I found out more about the actual process of making and casting these types of toys. The last few years I've had a goal to make a Sofubi-man out of Sofubi!”
