The Blot is so mad – I just missed out on another small run of Mark Nagata’s hand painted Sofubi-man!!! Mark has said he’s not sure if he has any more blanks, but if so he may paint more up. These sofubi were cast in flesh colored soft Japanese vinyl, stand 6” tall and feature one point of articulation (neck). Each hand painted figure comes bagged with a header card, and retailed for $60 at the Max Toy Company online store.
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!” What a wonderful homage to the men and women who cast soft vinyl figures in Japan.
