Yesterday, on the 5th floor of the
Shibuya Loft department store, a rather unusual event opened. I only heard about it because a collector bumped into me in Shibuya and brought me over. (
ありがとうございました. )
The event, which runs through October 3, is unusual in its eclectic mix of sofubi, western vinyl, customs, plush, and other figures. Japanese artists like Kaijin, Uamou, Konatsu, and Chima Group were represented in the display cabinets, while a wide selection of Kidrobot figures by Kozik, Touma, Huck Gee, and many others stocked display shelves.
As you can see from the below pics, quite a few of the one-offs quickly sold out. But it looks like they're being kept on display for a while before heading home with their buyers.

More after the jump:

| Really nice customs, using a unique painting style - reminiscent of traditional Japanese art - not only to paint toys, but also for her illustrations. |

| I'm not a plush/doll collector, but I really like the way these are done. There's a vintage feel - blended with kawaii culture - with the materials, design, and paint. |
