With so much going on throughout my trip in Japan over the past couple of weeks, I’ve unfortunately not had much of a chance to update Softoy Hobby- sorry guys! Whilst spare time is still hard to come by at the moment, I’ll be making an effort to keep you updated on what’s going on in the world of sofubi/keshi with a rather more condensed form of news starting today. Expect regular coverage to resume in the next week or so, and be sure to keep an eye out for my exclusive coverage of both the Rampage Studios Finale and Superfestival, plus insights into both sofubi production and factory painting with my upcoming trips to master painter Goto-san’s workshop and the Maruyama factory early next week… As always, thank you all for your continued support of my little blog, I hope you enjoy what I have in store!
