Originally debuting at Superfestival 69 last weekend, the “Hanatuah” figure from artist Hideyuki Katsuma and sofubi producer Algangu is now available worldwide! Standing at around 3.5″ talland featuring articulation in the neck, the gourd holding, horned headed beastie has been sculpted by Algangu, coming cast in an unpainted flesh-tone vinyl for it’s first release. Created in conjunction with Katsumata’s upcoming “USO de HONTOU” show at Scotland’s DCA gallery this weekend (head over here for more details), those unable to attend will be glad to know that Hanatuah can be purchased via e-mail order by contacting Algangu directly at algangu@bugsyweb.co.jp/. Pricing is still to be confirmed, but we’re guessing the little guy will set you back around 3,000-4,000yen plus shipping…
