密着24時!ソフビ職人 - "Sofubi" Toy Makers

ウルトラマン、ゴジラ、仮面ライダー......。古き良き昭和の時代に隆盛を極めたソフトビニール人形、通称「ソフビ」。手触り良い感触に小さな手のひらを重ねて夢観たヒーローや怪獣たちのSF世界にいま、大人たちがこぞって夢中に。
フィギアショップ「リアルヘッド」の森かつら氏と70歳の職人、後藤氏の下を訪ね、ソフビの魅力に迫る。
The designer toy movement has inventively made it's way to the "sofubi" scene, an abbreviation for "soft vinyl" in Japanese. For more than 10 years, Mori Katsura of Realxhead has been creating original action figures using his 60 year-old process, which includes Mori's secret weapon, a 70 year-old master painter named Goto. Vice follows Mori, an innovator in the indie soft vinyl scene where he collaborates with Goto to produce new toys.

    4:35 「常に同じだと飽きるんだよね」凄い説得力あるね。右手にウルトラマン、左手にゴジラを持っていた世代としては頑張ってほしい業界。

    2021 here, just watched it for the first time. Interesting that they didn't show Real Head's actual toy making process, just the painting. His stuff is super-expensive and very difficult to obtain these days, I wonder if he's upgraded to a bigger studio now?

    Years on and this is still one of my favourite videos ever. I would really love more content or a series of profiles on different sofubi designers. I love how punk and DIY has found its way to physical toy art-object-media (???). Saving up to succumb to collecting in the years to come.

    One thing about Japan is that there is no stigma associated with toys being only for children. As an adult toy collector of godzilla sofubi- transformers- and star wars I run into this kind of judgment all the time. I feel it's healthy to buy something for the kid who grew up too fast. Do it if it makes you happy.

    Open an online store with a translated English option, and you will sell more .. Most companies in Japan are not trying to sell more , the restrain their sales to Japan . In a world with access to every products on the planet , Japan is really behind . I've been in a hobby where most of my items comes from Japan , I had to go thru proxi so many times in the last 10 years . If they would have opened their products to the rest of the world , their economy would be way better .

    Artificial scarcity keeps the toys expensive. They are so in-demand _because_ they are so hard to get. If Real Head opened up his store online then sure, he would sell more, but he would also have many people asking why he charges so much. His toys are very hard to get.
