Monster Kara Final Update: Shipping news!

I just received the final batch of painted Monster Karas last night. That means Irene and I can get to attaching all the headers, packing the figures and prints, and shipping them out! I needed to wait for all the figures to come in, since I'm going to do my best to make sure that people who ordered multiple figures will get a nice variety of head sculpts.

 

The packages will start start shipping on Monday, and it will take me about a week to get everyone's order out. After I ship each package, I'll send out an e-mail notice to let you know it's on the way. Thanks again for your patience. We're just about there. :o)

Grody Shogun sofubi assembling (Monster Kara update #3)

Here's a video of the sofubi assembling process. Luke is assembling blank GID Monster Kara parts.

A bit more on the release's progress: Irene and I have finished designing the headers, and we got them + the prints printed at a really nice place in Tokyo. I think you guys are going to love how they turned out. So that's all done, and we're still right on track to get everything shipped as scheduled. :)

Monster Kara Update #2: Sofubi parts prep

The Grody Shogun x KK debut Monster Kara order is coming along very nicely. Here's a video of me sounding very tired + Luke using a new tool (new to the Fort anyway) to drill holes into the Karakuri bodies. (Like with many other sofubi figures, when toy bodies are cast, the only hole is at the neck, so either someone at the factory or the maker has to create arm holes.)

So, there's an inside look at the parts prep stage of toy production. We're moving right along with the Monster Karas and are right on track.

Monster Kara update #1: Factory Parts

It's been a month since the Grody Shogun x Kaiju Korner Monster Kara pre-order went up, so I thought everyone might like an update on where we are.

The parts have been delivered from the factory. Here are some pics:

Next comes the assembling, painting, and packaging. We're right on track to ship the figures on schedule, within the 6-8 week time frame posted on the pre-order page.

The Karas are preparing for their onward voyage. Commencing countdown, engines on!

Grody Shogun x Kaiju Korner = Monster Kara (Ordering window is now closed)

Welcome to Glowdy to the MaKKs!

After months of preparation, it’s finally ordering time for the first Grody Shogun x Kaiju Korner exclusives. Irene and I are happy to bring you the debut releases of Grody Shogun's Monster Kara. First we’d like to thank Luke and Amy for being awesome people to work with. :)

We have two versions of Monster Kara for you: painted GID and unpainted GID. Here they are:

Painted samples

Unpainted blanks showing the different head and arm possibilities

The Monster Kara bodies are all the same, but the heads and arms will be randomly selected from one of six heads and two of six arms. The figures will be painted by Luke Rook, aka Mr. Grody Shogun. Plus, each Monster Kara will have slight paint variations, giving each Monster Kara its own… karachter? Pinkies up!

If you want to order multiples, that’s not a problem. Also, if you order more than one blank or more than one painted figure, we’ll try our best to make sure the heads are different sculpts. :)

Bonus time!

Each figure will come with a print based on awesome Grody art by Kaiju Korner's Irene Fu.

Blank figures will include a black and white print of one these illustrations:

Painted figures will include a color print of this painting:

 Ordering Info
