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.
The original four editions of the popular 8″ tall Sofubi toy are about to be re-released with an exciting new upgrade.
Each of the the first four versions is back and they now sport a transparent head (tinted to match the body) through which can be viewed a glow-in-the-dark internal mechanism.
An exciting new twist on an old favourite!
The new versions launch at Tomenosuke in Japan at 11.59pm(JST) on the 4th December.
Prices are: Blue or Orange: ¥17,600 JPY Green and Red: ¥18,700 JPY 4 colour set (BLUE, ORANGE, GREEN & RED and Glow): ¥66,000 JPY
My first Japanese produced Mechtorian toy is launching on March 23rd. With a different edition following each week after that.
“Tiffanyblue” is the first release on the 23rd, at 11:59 p.m. (JST). After that, the second edition will be on March 30th and the third on April 6th at the same time, but the specifications of the figure (the color of the finish) will not be revealed until the day before it’s release.
There are 40 pieces of each edition being produced. Five each for AP and PP, and the remaining 30 will be sold online. All of them will come with a resin bonus miniature accessory in the style of the space pistol that was used in the 1956 Sci-Fi Classic, “Forbidden Planet.” Thomas can be made to hold it.
