Sofubi-man September Painted Edition & Clear Purple Edition Vinyl Figures by Mark Nagata x Max Toy Co

Sofubi-man September Painted Edition & Clear Purple Edition Vinyl Figures by Mark Nagata x Max Toy Co

Last week, Mark Nagata and Max Toy Company released two new Sofubi-man soft vinyl figures! One is the hand painted September Painted Edition, which was cast in peach soft Japanese vinyl and features a purple shirt, and the other is an unpainted translucent Clear Purple Edition. These sofubi stand 6” tall and feature one point of articulation (neck). Each figure comes bagged with a header card and was sold exclusively at MaxToyCo.com.  The September Painted Edition retails for $60, while the unpainted Clear Purple Edition retails for $50.

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.
