Featuring a diverse mix of custom bootlegs, sofubi and mini figures, we bring you the full rundown of what lucky attendees can expect…
Bombermat Toys’s Cthulhu Warrior// Argentinian based Bombermat Toys, creator of the infamous Shit Wars custom bootleg line, have graced Toy Mafia with an exclusive edition of 10 “Cthulhu Warrior” figures. Kit-bashed from vintage Cthulhu and Conan the Barbarian, the H.P. Lovecraft inspired beasts has been cast in resin, coming hand painted by the artist. Bubble packed on a single-sided thick cardboard backer card, each figure has been signed and numbered, complete with Bombermat Toys sticker.
Butcherbrand’s Megara// Butcherbrand’s popular kaiju turtle beast Megara will be making an appearance tonight in an exclusive micro run of just 5 figures! Standing 3.5″ tall, the black soft vinyl cast piece has been sprayed in a gorgeous mix of green and purple… While not exclusive to Toy Mafia, Clutter will also have a small handful of Megara pieces hand-painted by Velocitron on specially cast hot pink sofubi (featured here earlier in the week).
Monster Island’s Mighty Joe Young// Toy Mafia regular Monster Island is proud to present JUNIOR, a mini version of the barbarous beast Mighty Joe Young! Inspired by the classic Ray Harryhausen stop motion animation, this resin cast creation is small enough to fit in your pocket with a personality big enough to scare your kids! Limited to 7 pieces cast in smokey black resin, a select few feature a color-fade from the feet up. Each gorilla comes with a unique colourway of the micro hostage and is packaged with a vintange inspired header card.
