    I hadn't read about it before I saw it here. I read Plastic and Plush and occasionally LowBrownie. I still don't think the former has mentioned it, and the latter only mentioned it yesterday. Looks like it had popped up on Toys R Evil and Vinyl Pulse, but they're a bit too high-volume for me.

    It's a lovely piece but it just won't really fit in my collection.
    As I've run out of shelve space (and money) I start thinking about my collection as a whole - there might be some amazing toy/sculpture I love but I don't see how I can display it and can't justify spending the money. Unless I really fall in love :)

    even though it has a sarcastic tone to it.. i agree with dans statement. you spend that much money on a piece of 'art', i think it should be free of defects..

    does anyone know if they plan to make more of these? i might pick one up in a week or so, i wouldnt mind a couple more to stack!

    yeah, but they said they were done with the bad apple, and i know they made atleast 2-3 other colorways after that, and those two 'drippy' ones. weird.

    These are based on Murakami's paintings and larger sculptures. I've always felt like they were a poor representation of his work, but they are at least affordable for the average collector.

    Just got mine. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look "distressed", but there's black vinyl peeking through in big patches on his head. Same thing on the body, but it's glitter poking through. The sculpt is fantastic, but I'm still mulling over the paint.

    It's a fantastic piece, but I'm a bit surprised that the seam between the top and bottom pieces is so irregular. Is this characteristic of sofubi? Is sofubi the right term for this guy?

  • sergeySafonov angel

    sergeySafonov

    I don't really like the sofubi term, it's like calling all the toys just vinyl toys. There's so many different styles made with japanese soft vinyl.

  • CoMus angel

    Sofubi is just 'wasei-ego' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... />
    Soft Vinyl -> Softu Binyl -> Sofubi

    I like the word 'sofubi'! To me, it encompasses the soft vinyl production methods of Japan. Even though the design needs to adhere to Japanese slush moulding techniques, 'sofubi' is not a genre of style.

    I guess the word is being re-used just like ‘Kaiju’?

  • sergeySafonov angel

    USPS brought it to my house today, didn't bother to ring the doorbell, then refused to deliver it because I wasn't there to sign for it. UNHAPPY.

    @maquetteCity - There's a few more in the pipeline. :) I'm not sure exactly who did the sculpt. It's one of Andy's team at Crazylabel. I was really impressed by all the sculpts. There's pics on my blog of the earlier versions.
