The clues have been out there for quite some time, but we can finally start to show off what’s in store for 2014…the Tomenosuke + CP Chibi Series!
Chibi is a popular Japanese character style, drawing fans of the small and cute. Imagine smaller and even cuter little versions of the toys we all know and love, and know that the Tomenosuke + CP series is taking this idea full throttle. Here is the test sculpt of Brandt Peters‘ Skelve for the series, sculpted by the amazing Yohei Kaneko, in all his squat, bow tied glory.
We don’t have the exact production details yet, but we do know, that they are small / two-part figures and part of a line that will include Circus Posterus favourites, and guest artists. Also, for even more fun – their heads will all be swappable. The first series in the line- up will feature Kathie Olivas, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Louise Spayd, and Brandt Peters.
Check out more of the design below.
Looks like we know what the next Tomenosuke x Circus Posterus Sofubi is, the Red Glitter Frost Jack!
Look at the sparkly goodness in that red body! Ready to fire this winter with details coming soon!!!
For the first time ever, the glow in the dark sofubi we saw at Monsters and Misfits III is coming to the US!
This luminescent group of misfits are charged and ready for their debut at Designer Con! Here, you will see Calliope Jackalope by Kathie Olivas, Stinky Ginger by Chris Ryniak, Stingy Jack by Brandt Peters, and the brand new Heathen Snake Skelve.
This limited group will be available in a bundle pack including all 4, as well as a very small amount sold individually. After the success of all the other Tomenosuke + Circus Posterus sofubi, these will not last long. You can find them at the Circus Posterus booth #400 at DesignerCon this weekend!
The snake is finally out of the bag, because we saw it at Monsters & Misfits III. Finally in glow in the dark form are Tomenosuke x Circus Posterus sofubi! This shining four pack consists of Brandt Peters’ Stingy Jack, Kathie Olivas’ Calliope Jackalope, Chris Ryniak’s Stinky Ginger, and the debut of the Heathen Snake Skelve! Limited to only 80 sets, 40 are assigned to MMIII got 40 and the other 40 will be coming state side. Fear not true believers, how and where these will be sold in North America will be divulged soon, so keep watching.
They turned out amazing, and that Heathen Snake Skelve is a splendid new addition to the sofubi line!
It looks like all the suspicions with that header card teaser are correct! A Heathen Snake Skelve sofubi is coming! All the signs are pointing to VERY SOON because Brandt and Kathie are having a blast monster mashing all the other Circus Posterus x Tomenosuki sofubi with parts from the Heathen Snake Skelve.
The Heathen Snake looks to be a tad different from its smaller cousin in the Wandering Misfits series. This is great because it gives the sofubi version a whole new persona. The sofubi Heathen is modular just like Stingy Jack and Calliope so you can interchange the head and body. Our dynamic duo is truly loving the ability to swap out parts to create new sofubi!
Even though these are just early prototypes, the snake head really stands out for all of us with antlers, a top hat – and those eyes! The final version is going to be amazing to review and see!
From time to time, the Circus Posterus Instagram feed will sneak in some gems if you pay attention. Right before the weekend was one of those times!
What appears to be something very obvious, actually. It looks like a Heathen Snake Skelve sofubi is coming from Tomenosuke + Circus Posterus! This coiled cold-blooded skelve will make many fans happy when it debuts. Speaking of, Monsters & Misfits III is in September, could this be the release day?
More soon!
