SDCC 2013 - Paul Kaiju's King Jinx

We kick off our SDCC 2013 coverage with a look at Paul Kaiju's newest vinyl figure: King Jinx. I believe the figure has a total of 12 parts. The articulation and playability are fantastic, and the king is a welcome addition to Paul's growing pantheon of sofubi characters.

I took a bunch of shots to show the figure from different angles as well as its poseability, fantastic sculpting details, and the technical mastery that went into the production work.

Side by Side: Calliope Jackalope - Akihabara Adventure!

Calliope Jackalope, a Kathie Olivas design, is one of the toys in the Circus Posterus and Tomenosuke-syoten sofubi line. Let's join two Calliopes on a very special KK Side by Side as they tour the nerd capital of the world: Akihabara!

The best way to get to Akiba? The train, of course! The station is on a number of lines, including the Yamanote (which circles around Tokyo) and the Sobu, which cuts across the city east to west.

Let's change seats...
