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
Each one is slightly different. And they are all signed, numbered and dated by the good Doktor.
A third edition of the Shiba Inu sofubi designed by Doktor A and produced by Lowbrowee Toys will be released at DesignerCon.
This time Mugi takes on the pale yellow colour of the delicious Edwardian delicacy, still loved by Brits today.
This Shiba Inu robot Mechtorian is made in Japanese soft vinyl. Not at all menacing, he is a playful charmer (as the play pose suggests) and a snappy dresser, with his three interchangeable hats – topper, bowler, fez – one for each mood.
With his tail carried high up to reveal a fine behind, he is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches long.
The new edition is will launch at the Global Figure Showcase Booth 407 with Lowbrowee Toys at DesignerCon in Las Vegas from the 15-17th of November.
Any remaining stock will then be made available online at www.mugiart.shop
The limited edition of only 20 pieces each come bagged with a header card and all three hats.
A very limited amount of “Artist Proofs” will also be available from Doktor A at his online store soon.

Coming this weekend, is a new Mechtorian sofubi designed by Doktor A and produced by Lowbrowee Toys!
Meet (Sir) Mugi Teaworthy!
This Shiba Inu doggo robot Mechtorian is the first of it’s kind to be made in Japanese soft vinyl. Not at all menacing, he is a playful charmer (as the play pose suggests) and a snappy dresser, with his three interchangeable hats – topper, bowler, fez – one for each mood.
With his tail carried high up to reveal a fine behind, he is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches long. This first colorway (grey mint) brings to mind Lady Liberty and pocket George Washington portrait prints but is mostly inspired by the interior design of Fortnum and Mason – his favorite London spot for afternoon tea. He likes cake and scones, by the way, but also crumpets.
The first edition in the lovely Mint colourway is launching this Saturday March 16th 2024 at 5pm GMT at www.mugiart.shop
The limited edition of only 20 pieces each come poly bagged with a header card and all three hats. They are $80 (USD) each plus shipping and handling.
