Whilst we still wait with baited breath for the release of Monkey 3000‘s Madball inspired “Conjoined Ape” resin, the up and coming artist has just revealed something even better… his debut sofubi, Ummikko! Sticking with the primate theme, the wonderfully realised figure appears to draw from a number of different influences, including vintage sofubi, Hirota Saigansho’s Gorilla Ju and TTToys’ Bigfoot, albeit in Monkey’s instantly recognisable style. Pictured in both flesh and vintage green soft vinyl so far, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for the first release sometime soon. Keep an eye on the Monkey 3000 IG feed here for the full lowdown!
