Available exclusively through Dragatomi Booth #4935 is Mike Graham's new resin figure "Chochinobake" -available in two colorways. The traditional "Yellow edition" will be available Thursday through Sunday, but as an added surprise Mikie will also be releasing a SDCC exclusive "Mystery Colorway" during his signing/sketch session at Dragatomi (Sun 11-1) . Limited to only 5 figures, this super secret, super spooky editon will only be for sale on SUNDAY July 24th.
Designed, sculpted and hand painted by Mikie Graham, Chochinobake was graciously molded and poured by Motorbot of Deadbear Studios. Each colorway comes in its own Kaiju style bag/header that includes an 8X10 mini print/bio story for the character. Price is US$60 per.
Originally seen at Toy Art Gallery's "Resin Show" Chochinobake is the second character in Mikie's ongoing "Yokaiju" line of hand made resin figures. Based on traditional Japanese folklore, Chochinobake or the "haunted paper lantern" features 2 articulated arms and a clear hair/fire piece that sits on top of the figure. As an added bonus each Chichinobake figure comes with a battery powered tea candle that sits inside the figure lighting the hair piece up from underneath!
