I saw the thread for Negora (a collab between Max Toy & Konatsu), but I didn't see a dedicated Konatsuya thread yet. I have a few of the newer releases, and wanted to see what other collectors, here, have. I like the traditional art influence in the header cards, but I don't feel like that influence really comes through on the toy proportions. I would describe her style as being "cute and clean". I really hope more of her characters get the standard-scale treatment in the future. So far, only Negora & Shibara come in a Daioh version, as far as I know.
I really hope that one day she produces her bat character in vinyl. The new owl is very welcome in the mean time.
Negora. I have 3, I haven’t been collecting sofubi for very long ( about 8 months now). It was one of the first few sculpts bought. Clear with rainbow glitter is my fav of the 3. I have a clear with gold glitter and translucent neon yellow as well... it’s a solid little sculpt and feels nice when you hold it, great size for a smaller sculpt. The larger cats looks best in tanks, in my opinion.
Picture of the new Owl Kaiju Fukuraus for those wondering what it may look like. Debut release at this past DCON held Nov 22-24, 2019 at QPOP booth.
I don't collect Konatsu-ya, but I saw this sold out twin tail tribute on Mandarake this morning. Just super charming. The face is spot on and I love the little collar with bell. It seems perfect too that the two tailed cat is a traditional yokai. Perfect kaiju crossover.
