YS Planning‘s Shigeo Uchida – sculptor of the iconic Neclos Fortress line – has just revealed his debut line of sofubi, Ragaburugu of the Temple of Doom! Heavily influenced by the Neclos aesthetic, the first round of 3″ finger puppet-style minis features a total of 3 different designs inspired by the vintage mini figure series’ extensive back catalog of figures. Debuting at Wonderfestival Winter 2015 this coming Sunday, February 8th, 2 different colorways will be up for grabs; the standard, coming in a selection of Neclos’ classic metallic green, teal and flesh, and an event exclusive in red, with each set coming complete with a “mystery part” (pictured below) in a silver vinyl. Whilst there are no plans for a general release for the figures at present, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for an overseas release on these guys soon…
