2012 Summer Wonder Festival proto toys #4: New set of Yamomark minis

At the recent WF, Yamomark brought along the proto sculpts for their new set of minis. They were in a little plastic tub, like they were about to join Max on a voyage to visit the Wild Things.

These are really small fellows - about 2" tall - and exquisitely sculpted. Yamomark's sculpting talents, regardless of the size of the figure, are off the charts. He kindly allowed me to take the figures out of their vessel and shoot them.

Here's a group shot followed by individual pics:

Very classy day in the streets of Shibuya.

New Blobpus x Yamomark figures

Blobpus continues his run of Yamomark collaborations with two new figures:

Nikulu Kamen

Chulantara

The figures will be sold via lottery, with entries accepted from January 25 to January 29. Ordering details will go up later on the Blobpus website.

Blobpus x Yamomark Umi Poodle

The Blobpus x Yamomark Umi Poodle was just released, and I love everything about it. This is a Kaji-san masterpiece, with a truly exquisite paint job. It features the classic Blobpus palette on GID base vinyl, with rich metallic colors brilliantly paired with subtle undertones. Free spray is complemented by fine details, and intricately designed individual sections work together across the figure to create an organic, perfectly balanced whole.

It's one of those figures that you expect to step down from the shelf and engage you in small-talk (or, you know, deep talk, if you're into existential discussions with kaiju seahorses).

Here's the figure from more angles, followed by closeups:

Speaking of Medicom....more sofubi exclusives

Recently I wrote about the upcoming RESTORE x Medicom exclusives. On the same day (Dec 10), Project 1/6 will release a slew of other sofubi exclusives (presumably online and at the shop):

Ichibanboshi

Yamomark

Max Toy

Blobpus x Yamomark Hakusen King

Hakusen King is the latest GID Yamomark figure to join the series of Blobpus handpaints. The figure was just released, and I'm glad to be able to provide pics. Hakusen King features Kaji-san's trademark shimmering, metallic, and somewhat translucent, paint application, so it goes along great with other figures in the Blobpus x Yamomark line.

On most of his handpaints, Kaji-san signs one of the feet.
