With the likes of Superfestival, NYCC, Design Fiesta and Dcon fast approaching, Jon Malmstedt over at Rampage Toys has decided it’s about time to reveal his all-new line up of sofubi that’ll be making an appearance… presenting the Gachapin Goblin micros! Consisting of 7 1.5″-2″ tall Gachapon-ready figures, the little critters have been designed by Rampage Toys, Joseph Harmon, Walter Parenton (IV – Bobbybeast creator) and Art Junkie, with sculpting duties headed by Jon, Joseph Harmon, and AJ’s official prototyper. The first figures to be retooled and wax cast in-house at Rampage Studios, metal moulds for sofubi casting are currently being finalised for the first regular release at Superfestival on September 29th.
Those eager to secure an early set will be glad to know that a pre-order for unpainted black versions will be up on the store this Friday, August 23rd. Details are still hazy at the moment, but Jon has stated that the figures will be available for around $10 each, with special incentives for bagging the whole set, including discounts and the possibility of some blind-bag painted versions! Stay tuned for more info later in the week, and be sure to head over to the Rampage blog here for a closer look at the project…
