The retro-futuristic, robotic Shiba Inu sofubi, designed by Doktor A and produced by Lowbrowee Toys, is getting the hand-painted treatment!
For the first time a fully painted and embellished edition of the popular doggo is being released.
With an added cravat jewel and metal winding key, the 6 inch tall and 8 inch long soft Japanese vinyl toy will be released in a micro edition of only 10 pieces. Each one lovingly customised by Doktor A himself.
They will be a staggeringly affordable $225 each. And can be found at the Global Figure Showcase Booth 407 at DesignerConin Las Vegas from the 15-17th of November.
Any stock remaining after the event will be available direct from Lowbrowee Toys at www.mugiart.shop
