    Sofubi figures are such a wonderful postmodern toycreation, quoting and so often ironically or with unlimited admiration mixing toyline traditions, creating very lovely and charming new characters 😊. Can completely understand your fascination ✌️🤗.

    That light purple Moucoyama one is absolutely bonkers. It's like those old fertility idols, but made by some kind of Lovecraftian nightmare-beings.

    The Egyptian crocodile is Sobek, Egyptian god of crocodiles and murder. He is the son of Set, god of chaos, and the brother of Anubis, god of the dead. He is fairly accurate, as Sobek lost a hand for the crime of stealing the daughter of another god. A worthy representation.

    Super fun collection, thanks for sharing! I totally get how these appeal to someone that loves all the creature designs from Star Wars. I've seen Sofubi at a few toy stores and shows I've gone to. I'll have to take a closer look next time.

    Amazing stuff! In Hard-Off (a Japanese secondhand store), you used to be able to find piles and piles of old sofubi for a few yen each. However, I have no idea as to whether any of them were vintage or collectible.

    I always thought these were interesting and cool looking. There's just so much of it and the prices can get crazy, it's intimidating lol. I wouldn't know where to begin and what is what? That's why I've never fully got into it.

    Sofubi are difficult to buy since they are made in small amounts and released irregularly. So it’s unusual to be able to just buy them online, although you can try viciousfun.com, since they do regularly get in secondhand sofubi. Otherwise I would suggest following some of the bigger creators on Instagram and just waiting for a lottery for something you like to be announced.

    the best thing about sofubi (soft vinyl) is they are very durable. resistant from dropping, squeeze, heat, etc unless you use knife/scissor to purposely cut them. That is why there are still many vintage sofubi out there. you might find some with chip-off paint but if you wish can even completely wash it off & repaint.

    I'm pretty sure "Rodan's" authentic Japanese name was "ラドン" or "Radon". There's no L in there I believe. Also, it's not from Gojira but was first featured as an original monster in his own film.

    Well, I speak Japanese so I did pronounce it correctly. But yes it is spelled with an R in romanized Japanese
