Punk Drunkers Aitsu - Green Colorway

Wish me luck in bidding for Punk Drunkers Aitsu OG version… I will probably stop buying other colorways of Aitsu thereafter. Kind of think of that, this is my very first regular Punk Drunkers Aitsu… Thanx to a friend who poisoned me with PDS magic potion 🧪 … Uncool is cool 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

Super Dimension Century Orguss Sofubi

Super Dimension Century Orguss was intended as a successor to Super Dimension Fortress Macross but failed to live up to the heights of its predecessor.  I believed Orguss also made a little cameo on Macross anime. Super Dimension Century Orguss small success was that it inspired an OVA sequel series called Orguss 02. Adapting the same concept of 3 modes variable transformation… Here’s a mecha sofubi by good old Takatoku… It’s non-transformable yet looking great in robot standing (17cm) pose! Where are you going When are you coming home?

War Of Acid Rain Marine Corps Infantry

Most people look for the details and articulation in Acid Rain figurines. I’m more of an odd ball going for simple fun and probably something soft vinyl…. The War Of Acid Rain 7” Marine Corps Infantry with vintage camouflage. Nice accessory of fabric battle scarf as well as a gimmick removable hazmat mask / helmet 🪖 which reveals the zombie soldier. A collaboration of their Acid Rain x GUMS Productions.

Macross Max VF-1J Sofubi

Takatoku had produced in smaller quantities of soft vinyl sofubi of battroid figure such as this TV version, Maximilian Jenius VF-1J. This type of non-transformable approximately 1/100 scale, Macross sofubi is so hard to come by these days and the pricing can be exorbitant if available. Just glad to at least obtain this sought after piece.

蠑螈超獸 Geko Kaiju Sofubi

My very first regular sized 蠑螈超獸 Geko kaiju spotted at the drain after rain 💦🦎 … Yet it’s flaming like Burning Godzilla 🔥… Was searching for it during my last Taipei trip but was to no avail. Glad to be able to find it locally and I like this color way a lot! Also welcome InToy for attending POP Toy Show Singapore annually.  

TEQ63 – R177A Quiccs x Playful Gorilla

First day of POP Toy Show PTS 2024… Long snake queue to exchange waistband… Let’s kill some time posting TEQ63 – R177A 🖤💚 by Quiccs x Playful Gorilla x Devil Toys … Pics taken at Youth Park Somerset… Love the hefty size of whopping 12 inches with face sculpt which strongly suggested its King Kong status… All hail the beast of the jungle! The bloodstains or paint stains on the face certainly give it more thug life character… Always in the swag hyped beast street wear attire!

Berserk Guts Sofubi

This is the result of bringing your toy on a nature trail… Great Berserk Exhibition Guts in his berserker armor limited sofubi 🖤 from the beloved manga series turned anime … The manufacturer Redshark could have sweetened the deal by throwing in the sword🗡️… A figurine that was a domestic released during Berserk Exhibition in Japan. Menacing black with only his pair red eyes. You have been warned the branded one...

Mugen Calibur Variable Vehicle VV-54 AR Sofubi

Call it Roadbuster or Mugen Calibur Variable Vehicle VV-54 AR mecha sofubi by good old Takatoku… It’s non-transformable but I kind of had a soft point for anything soft vinyl material these days… About Mugen Calibur - A prototype transformable Jeep/Humvee-like Variable Machine with a soldier-like humanoid mode. The "AR" stands for "Armor Rifle", the signature laser weapon of this model which can also fire muzzle-launched grenades and is stored on the back as a turret when in vehicle mode.

Tetsujin 28 Kobe Project Sofubi

As expected, I chanced upon this awesome toy inside a shop selling vintage sofubi, located at Golden Mile Tower. It was totally surprised to me and what really caught my eyes is this 30cm Tetsujin 28 🤖💙 dedicated to Kobe project Tetsujin 28-go (Gigantor) Monument… A project that contributed to the city's disaster recovery after earthquake. 

I visited Kobe two years back and had been looking for a Tetsujin 28 with the exact posing with the monument/statue which I took pics with. Finally found it and unexpectedly at a local toy shop. This figure has that sentiment value and brings back fond memories of my Japan trip! 

Kobe is the home of one of Japan’s most unique monuments, a 18 metre high 50 ton robot statue. The robot Ironman Tetsujin 28 go (or Gigantor as he was known outside Japan) has been the star of a popular manga anime since the late 1950’s and was created by Kobe born Mitsuteru Yokoyama. The statue is made life-size and he is pretty heavy too, coming in at about 50 tons on the scales. (credit to Happy Jappy)
