I had a dream I got a sweet sofubi in the mail and now I'm sad because it was just a dream.

Elegab really seems to favor the monster driving another bigger monster thing doesn't he?

Yeah I do love his vehicle-centric stuff for sure. Monster Patrol Car is really tops, and Bukiminda is a rare and wonderful creature!

Bukiminda- it’s a shame he’s not made anymore. I feel really lucky that the one time I was able to get one it happened to be in my favorite red

I was supposed to chill for the rest of the year, but then sofubi perfection popped up. Even though there's a little paint wear, he doesn't balance well, and can barely hang on to his cheap flat plastic sheet fork, this is way better than whatever I said was perfect last time.

I've got no real sofubi news to report, missed a sakura color Shibara on discord and have seen a lot of strong maybes on Mandarake but nothing I want to pull the trigger on as per usual. Also got dang Mirock Toy stuff is expensive, why? Tiny batches?

Oh. Oh poo poo. Please tell me these aren't an exclusive so I can send you internet bucks and receive Lulu. I know it's random but I think I like the middle the most; and overall these look much better than the black and white marble swirl Negoras that got previewed recently. Wonder if that's due to the size difference: the Negoras look too busy, these are just right.

Edit: I just checked Instagram, I missed them didn't I?

I think Gatos wrote the wrong date on the posts; I saw the posts yesterday evening and they said 'tomorrow the 18th'.

I have no idea what time they drop though.

I wrote the wrong date 😅 they’ll be available at noon PST. Since the figures are unique they will be random on which one you get. They’ll be at CatMagicToys.com

Got hit with some life recently, but I did get these super rad things in the mail!

Elegab Dura Doubleunga - I love this. It's better in person than pictures show. Extremely fun! Also, I'm not sure the reason, but I got sent a separate header card, so I'm now 13 points away from a Disc Kappa, haha!


Another Fireman to add to the collection. I really really like this one. It's sakura themed hence the pink, and the confetti made me think of "falling leaves", which I didn't realize until I got it in hand, are little hearts.


Also, I got these Ikea Milsbo cabinets in a few weeks ago, and finally got things semi organized. Here's a collection shot, not including blanks, smalls, and M1 Bikes. The 2nd cabinet is going to be action figures for now, but more sofubi later!


Hell yeah! I have STRONGLY hinted to the wife I would like one of these for Christmas, :D. Fingers crossed!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Awesome! Nari has started to include an extra header card in his larger figures - there was also an extra with the Missileous figure that came out recently. Now that I think about it that and Jura D are both larger figures that are being collaborated on when it comes to the paint and stickers. Maybe that’s part of it.

Ahh interesting, I didn't realize he was collaborating on them. Do you know who he's working with?

I forget, it’s another Sofubi maker who’s designed the stickers and then Missileras and Jura are both painted by a Sofubi factory’s painters. These are the first ones done in this manner- Nari paints one as a guide (kind of like how a head chef makes a plate and then the rest are made exactly the same by his crew).

Yeah that's why he was able to paint all of the new Tunnelons so fast while the Juras were still in production.

Ick I am not a fan of that Gigan design. Is it supposed to be Gigan without the cybernetics? Some sort of Metroid Fusion suit scenario?

Edit: oh yeah I think I saw UFO Yakisoban on mandarake, but no Kettler yet for whomever was looking.
