As usual, Superfestival 69 played host to a wide variety of new sofubi toys and artists over the weekend, including the debut of a very special figure set from newcomer Mai Nagamoto… the adorable Innocent (怪獣/Monster) and Core (子供/Child)! Featuring similar elements to many of the wave of cute sofubi around at the moment – Byron, Uamou and Rangeas in particular – the pair have been designed by Mai and sculpted by T9G (hence the distinct look!), standing at around 6.7″ and 1.5″ each. Produced in an unpainted clear soft vinyl for their first outing at Sufes over the weekend – and selling for the ridiculously cheap sum of just 3,500yen ($29) all-in – we’ll be keenly looking out for the first general release over the next few weeks…
