Hi /toy/, this is a thread dedicated to appreciating each other's fav sofubis. Do join in with your personal favsSeabozu is a kaiju from 1966 Ultraman and Ron is a kaiju from Ultraman Leo>the cockroach is just a plastic prank cockroach which I made a tie and collar forSeabozu is famously a depressed and sad kaiju (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNyndYayRtQ) (he's literally me)
>>11627465These two are my favorites. I don't even know their names, just that they are Ultramonsters. I got them on a trip to Japan almost 10 years ago. I also like the modern MMS Bagon and my bright orange "Burning" Hedorah variant that I like to pretend is a nacho cheese monster.
>>11627510Baragon. What an embarassing typo.
>>11627465Is there any Sofubi that glows in the dark?
>>11627510fishboy here is guesra, from 1966 ultramanand orange boy in the back is maga orochi, from ultraman orb, took me a while to find himfrankly im only familiar with the 1966 kaiju but i can see why you enjoy this one>>11627511where's your baragon? i also have 1974 godzilla alongside mechagodzillaI really should get megalon and king cesar to complete the movie set, probably gigan too, since i have a jet jaguar
>>11627513Plenty! I have this guy over here (eleking)I love GITD stuff too
I also have GITD Mechagodzilla on my bucket listthis one is relatively common and you can prob get it for <50USD
>>11627517Do they have arm/leg articulation? Sofubis are cool but some of them have no movement at all.
>>11627523arm leg and tailmost sofubis have that much, cuz it is more simple to make more simple parts that snap together rather than some complex overhangshere is a jap review of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynLLXTjuDvQ
>>11627529Noice, thanks for the info.
>>11627515I liked him because he's a silly looking fish monster. Maga Orochi just gives off powerful kaiju vibes.My Baragon is in my closet bin at the moment. I also have this 70s godzilla and a knock off 70s Mechagodzilla 2.
And this version of King Caesar, because I like it more than the movie accurare one.
>>11627559very cool, here's my godzilla and mecha G
and this inception-style display where i display a picture of them behind a picture of them
Here’s some of mine from Japan’s best independents.
My favorite has to be this Orga one.I mainly collect Movie Monster Series figures, so I have a lot. Orga, the Millenium Godzilla (that came out with this Orga), and the Ultraman Max Eleking are probably my top favorites.>>11627510Nice, I love that King Gesura especially!>>11627626That daruma sofubi is sweet. I recently saw someone made a daruma crab creature sofubi and it looked really cool.
>>11627631>King Gesuraoh, I didn't know he was royalty to boot!
>>11627631Oh man, you remind me of monster island buddies and orga in his show, cheerful guy he is>>11627539Heres a pic of my copy in the dark
Its missing my king caesar but ths is what ive got. I really enjoyed these figures years back, the lil hedorah is a bullmark from like 20 years ago ive held on to.
Old image before I bought a new house. I think I have 3 times as many Ultra monsters now. Love the DX ones their paint jobs are great. Never thought I would like them, but they grew on me.
I like Gedos, there's a dick on his head.
>>11628631Are these the guys with the chip on their feet? Ive got a handful in storage but totally forgot till i saw king joe and the orange guy.
>>11628755Not him but my king joe has googly eyesThe foot chip ones are called spark dolls, they are generally the same size, but the gimmick was for that one series only
>>11627465The only one I own.
>>11628639hehe dongfishLMAO it can extend
I saw this on an episode of Toy Anxiety and immediately had to go find it and buy it. The color of red is so alluring, and he's such a cute design. I was really impressed with it when I finally got him.
>>11627698DAMNNice glow
>>11627604Neat!
>>11629872Pretty cute dragon. I want to get one of the cats but they're always so expensive.
Did anyone here go to a Designer Con before? I saw a lot of sobui there. I may try to go next year.>>11629872That's a really nice one! Never saw that before.Its great when a figure immediately allures you. I saw pic related in someones collection and also immediately went out to buy it too.
>>11630107basically why I don't collect these, too much money for a dust collecting statue
>>11629872I got a Sakiros, I wish Konatsu made a Great King version of the character (basically jumbo sized fig with extra articulation).
>>11630516I also have these guys and a bunch of other foxes.
>>11630379I actually play with mine tho.
>>11629883Thx, hes my personal cia agent
Couple of Ultraman vagina monsters I have. I just bought some gashapon penis monsters that I'm looking forward to mixing them with.
>>11630835Based gitd anon, I have several agents on my side, no Sofubi for the time being though, I'm thinking on getting either one or in glitter.
>>11630355 Who made this? It's sick af
>>11632379glad you like it senpai, off topic but I custom-made GITD eye stickers for one of my fav Bdaman, Konig Cerberus
>>11632482Naga by SungutsI know, right? It is apparently based on Naga statues from Hinduism and Buddhism, which have 7 heads and were a protector. However, I think the connection ends there. It's a great design. Reminds me of King Ghidorah.
>>11632535He cute
>>11632808Damn, Sunguts made that? I wouldn't have expected. Most of their stuff hasn't been to my taste since they made the Sharks. Very cool score.
I believe I own every Ultraman and kaiju from the I believe it was the 96 line here in the states.
>>11633382Post pics then
Gave him a little glowstick hula hoop
>>11635005Look at him go!
>>11633382Trendmasters? I recently saw one of the kaiju design I liked from that era on Mandarake but it literally sold as I was trying to buy it.
>>11635005Best post on /toy/ right now possibly ever
comfy threadcurrently on the table:two ducks tug of war over breadcrumbsi have sofubi all over the house and it pains me to think of a favouritei think i'm also team eleking
>>11627559>micromachines next to sofubii can't believe i never thought of this!
>>11637532My little brother had a bunch and a supervan city, so sometimes theTrendmaster Godzilla would attack.
>>11637402I appreciate your kind words.In commemoration of that, I have given him one more hula hoop.He is struggling.
>>11637601Love it. Makes me want a glow in the dark kaiju.
alrighti think my eleking whose nose looks like a cookie that's been in the oven just a tad too long is my favourite, followed closely by the happy big smile looking hipporito and his elephant nosethe little mechagodzilla they qeue'd up to pet was given by my momit's a super 7 one and i was impressed by how well made and precisely painted it was, has a really great metallic finishso if you're into that I can recommendi just like little pet kaiju in general
>>11638491Based seabozu chadLmao MG petting zoo?I should get clothes for my sofubi too, your eleking looks chill as fuck
>>11638502it was a Ken shirt, no idea where it's from or what clothes might fit from the get gobut i've had some 1/6 barbie style stuff fit big beefy 1/12ish figures like motu originsmaking your own will probably be the easiest or stopping by a thriftstore and see if they have a junker barbie pile somewhere and see what fits
>>11639098Excellent insights, will try.
Guys this is a sofubi right?
>>11639806your cock on the log!
Gomora's been my boy since the youngin' times. He was one of my first that started my Ultra Kaiju collection.Another one is this off-brand Godzilla Arstron I got at a Discovery Zone years ago. Unlike the other off brands I got, I can't find his proper verison, making him at least now a genuine new mold. He's really just a cool looking monster.
>>11640731we call our gomora the "coffee monster"since my father always keeps buying coffee in 2for1 special discounts i'm giving him a second one i found inside some illy cans lmaoyours looks is a delicious mokka caramelas for the monster on the right, i think i saw one at a second hand clothing store in berlin once, but the techno stacy working there wasn't allowed to sell the "decoration"no idea what he's called either
>>11640731Seems like the boy on the right is a bootleg earthron (1st kaiju in ultraman jack)Saucehttps://nuo2x2toys.wordpress.com/2021/11/14/cashew-zilla/
>>11640731Nice, my gomorra has a bulldog mount
>>11641526Yeah, I said he was half Arstron, which is Earthron. He's got the twin ridges on his back and everything. The thing with this one is that I can't find the toy this bootleg is base on. Every other one has a clear ultra monster they're slapping horns on, including a red and gold Red King with horns, The Astronzilla doesn't have any like that, making him very unique among the bootlegs I got.
>>11641580forgot.
>>11641581Your bootlegs are pretty based, i like the goody pestarI should get into sofubi making
Goofy*
>>11627465I wanted this sooooo badly and the guy never returned after I had managed to get the money
>>11641588Thank you.Might as well finish off with the others.Black King, Red King, and another of my older ones Bemular because I didn't find my blue eyed bootleg Mechagodzilla I also got from Discovery Zone. I think he was called like "King Machine".
>>11641823yo that red armed one armed red king is cool! the horns suit himare his lims a different material?his body seems to be rather close to original
>>11641979Looks like the gold is paint, you can see the same red under the tail
>>11641979The arms and legs are different from the og. the body as well if you want to count the head horns.
>>11642515Requesting a pic of them(real and boot) having a handshake
>>11642515This is all im seeing
Anyone still here
>>11644825ill post somemore later this thread is comfy
