Mazzcot MAS-004 Alien Baltan





One of Ultraman’s most iconic extraterrestrial villains gets a sofubi treatment with the Mazzcot MAS-004 Alien Baltan. Standing approximately 24–26cm tall, this officially licensed Tsuburaya Productions vinyl figure perfectly captures Baltan’s unmistakable silhouette—from the oversized silver pincer claws and textured blue-grey body to the striking amber-orange eyes that give it an intimidating yet nostalgic presence. The subtle metallic finish, clean sculpt and faithful proportions make this a standout display piece for any Ultraman fan. A timeless kaiju antagonist that has remained a fan favorite for generations, now beautifully reimagined in vinyl form.

Studio Ookii x Pink Toys Harutan Burning Godzilla






Studio Ookii x Pink Toys presents Harutan: Burning Godzilla Edition — a bold sofubi piece crafted with a mature, tongue-in-cheek edge. This variant reimagines Harutan, the female counterpart to a Godzilla suit actor, as a tribute to the legendary Haruo Nakajima, blending kaiju history with contemporary designer toy culture. Set atop a molten, Burning Godzilla-inspired base, the sculpt captures a striking contrast: radiant, lava-like textures beneath and a warm, sun-kissed skin tone above. The expressive pose and subtle vulnerability add a layer of narrative, playing off the concept of a “wardrobe malfunction” while maintaining an artistic, almost theatrical presence. It’s a daring crossover of homage and reinterpretation where tokusatsu legacy meets provocative sofubi design.

2002 Yamanaya King Ghidorah






2002 Yamanaya King Ghidorah — a commanding take on the legendary three-headed kaiju from the Godzilla universe. Cast in classic sofubi, this version leans into a stylized sculpt with elongated necks, sharp facial expressions, and a more organic, almost dragon-like stance compared to Bandai’s mass-market interpretations. The rich metallic gold finish elevates its presence, catching light across the scale-textured body and wide, winged silhouette. Each head carries its own attitude, giving the piece a sense of motion even in a static pose.

Bullmark Mini Monster Ultra Q series





Bullmark Mini Monster Ultra Q series from the Soul of Bullmark collection. These 3.5 inch miniature sofubi recreate classic 1960s–1970s kaiju designs from Ultra Q and Ultraman. Released by Bandai around 2001 as gashapon/blind box collectibles, they perfectly capture the charm and nostalgic paint style of vintage Bullmark vinyls. Front row features Namegon 🐌, the iconic “Mars Monster” from Ultra Q episode 3, shown here in both glow-in-the-dark pale green and dark blue variants. Their oversized eyeballs and slug-like sculpt make them one of the strangest and most memorable creatures from the series. Standing behind are two versions of Garamon, the legendary “Meteorite Monster” with its shaggy texture and eerie expression. The red version carries a retro Marusan-style colorway, while the blue-green variant leans heavily into classic vintage sofubi aesthetics. On the far left is Kila, painted in vibrant yellow, green, and red hues inspired by the original Bullmark design. A beautifully weird lineup that showcases the golden age of Japanese kaiju sofubi in miniature form.

Bounce Baby Cosmic Bongzilla





You are entering the restricted zone of the Bounce Monster Universe 🦖— proceed with caution ⚠️. This creature appears to be a special variant reminiscent of a cosmic Bongzilla, with possible nods to kaiju like Space Godzilla and the aesthetic flair of EVA Unit-01.The figure features a richly textured, segmented body in soft lavender tones, contrasted by sharp white spikes that wrap around its form. Vibrant orange and pink accents add energy to the design—especially the fiery crest and the subtle blush-like gradients on its spikes. Despite its fearsome appearance, the creature currently seems to be in hibernation, curled inward and motionless. According to recorded sightings, this monster made its first appearance at the Amazing Toy Show 2024.

Petzilla by Mechanic Punk - Evangelion x Godzilla






My only haul from SGCC 2025 is this 1ho Petzilla by Mechanic Punk @mechanic_punk and it hits two of my favourite attributes: a clear nod to Godzilla and the unmistakable vibe of Evangelion Unit-01. Petzilla carries a strong “Evangelion” aesthetic, especially with its purple-and-green color palette reminiscent of EVA Unit-01. The figure depicts a chunky, dinosaur-like creature with bright green spikes and accents, aggressively adorable as it chomps down on a Mechanic Punk signature cat styled to resemble the 4th Angel. The little cat even wears a mask inspired by the 4th Angel, adding a fun layer of character. Petzilla definitely looks hungry, mid-bite and clutching its squirming prey in both arms—equal parts chaotic and charming.

The biggest toy I bought at Osaka is this 9.5” loose vintage Animatronic Gamera ガメラ by Bandai and made in Japan in 1995… I have placed batteries 🔋 to it but unfortunately the mechanism doesn’t work anymore… Still it a good buy as I only need it for display in my kaiju cabinet… Interestingly, it looks sofubi but not… The front portion is mainly made of rubbery material and the tortoise 🐢 shell at the rear is hard plastic… A little background of the product…This is a collectible figure of Gamera, a famous Japanese kaiju (giant monster)…Specifically the “Plasma Walk Great Monster Gamera” from the movie “Gamera: Guardian of the Universe” (also known as “Gamera: Daikaiju Kuchu Kessen”).
