    It's a fantastic piece, but I'm a bit surprised that the seam between the top and bottom pieces is so irregular. Is this characteristic of sofubi? Is sofubi the right term for this guy?

    I don't really like the sofubi term, it's like calling all the toys just vinyl toys. There's so many different styles made with japanese soft vinyl.

    Sofubi is just 'wasei-ego' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... />
    Soft Vinyl -> Softu Binyl -> Sofubi

    I like the word 'sofubi'! To me, it encompasses the soft vinyl production methods of Japan. Even though the design needs to adhere to Japanese slush moulding techniques, 'sofubi' is not a genre of style.

    I guess the word is being re-used just like ‘Kaiju’?

  • sergeySafonov angel

    Sofutu Biniru it is ;)

    I like the word, but I don't like the fact that manufacturing process became a posmark of the style (yes, same as kaiju).

    Sofubi Kaiju

    It's interesting how the Japanese tend not to classify everything into genres. I guess thats how they can make really cool pieces.

    Oh NO! The seam, the seam! The seam is killing me!!
    No, seriously, I can see what Shank and Flip are talking about. The pieces don't fit together in a nice way. Also there are some glue residues where the pieces were glued together. The sad thing is that they look almost good from behind. I'll just try to ignore looking at his legs from the front ;)
    Thank god my green one isn't so bad except for the glue issue.
    Bubi, do you think I can cut the lower part off my white one and try to glue it on properly?
