"(This figure is) My homage to the men & women who cast sofubi/soft vinyl in Japan. He's holding an iron mold, which is used to cast the figures.
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!
Sofubi-man is magically sculpted by Cristina Ravenna, with Max Toy coordination by Yo Miyamoto and of course expertly cast in Tokyo by real Sofubi-men ;-)
This version is limited and will not be offered again in this unpainted form."
