Having recently debuted at Wonderfestival Winter 2015, KtoKto‘s Kaibutsu (Monster) Series 2 returns for it’s first official online release! Inspired by a mix of both classic monster designs and 80s Japanese horror toys – including the iconic MaBa Zombies – this second wave once again features a total of 3 different designs; a quad-eyed Werewolf, Creature from the Black Lagoon and a de-tombed mummy, each sculpted in the classic finger puppet style and produced in an uncapped soft vinyl. Cast in an unpainted green to mimmick the past Series 1 release, the little guys have been packed with a header rather than the usual box format this time around, coming in at a wallet friendly 3,700yen ($31) plus shipping. Currently up for grabs via e-mail lottery until Thursday, February 28th at 6pm Japan time, interested parties can hit up the KtoKto blog right here for details on how to enter…

But that’s not all! Never one to rest on his laurels, KtoKto’s Sato Takehito has been hard at work prepping Series 3! Pictured here as early clay prototypes, the third round is once again set to feature 3 different designs; Frankenstein’s monster, a grave dwelling zombie and Dracula. Stay tuned for more news on their development soon!
