Neapolitan Negora

Last week, we blogged about being invited to the Konyatsu Dai Kaiju show at Q Pop. We had a chance to look at the preview photos and it looks amazing. The problem with participating in shows like these is you spend more money than you make! This is the toy we created for it:

It's a candy cat!

It’s Neapolitan Negora, the candy cat! We knew the sprinkles on the back would really bring this piece together so we bought some polymer sprinkles (no time to make them) and sealed them on using Mod Podge. The Mod Podge gave the brown a shiny, melted chocolate look that became a happy accident.

Konatsu at Qpop

We’re big fans of Konatsu’s Negora toys. They’re super cute kaiju cats! We own both a Negora and micro Negora, shown here. Our dreams came true when our friends at Q Pop told us they are hosting a US show for Konatsu and they invited Magen to paint one of the Negoras!

Konatsu’s toys are based on a series of paintings she made about monster animals enjoying some outdoor recreation. See more of her work here.

Debris Japan

When we first saw Restore’s Debris Japan figure, we knew we had to have it. It’s such a great oni sculpt and the talismans are a really nice touch. Unfortunately, we were a little broke during the release of the initial figure so we waited for a re-release. We were finally able to get our hands on a blue colorway from Lulubell Toys. While it may not have the same fun talismans, we’re pretty happy with our acquisition.
