Fancy your chances at bagging one?

About Collectlister: NEO JAPAN, a.k.a. Mr. Okada, hears a rumor in the pub that heavy collectors of toys have gone missing from a toystore in the neighboring town, one after another… “Aha…” reminded of what had happened and angered, Mr. Okada is determined to seek vengeance with the power of the ONI-Powersuit, and heads to the toystore.

Notified of his coming, Dr. K calls on IRON MEAT. NEO JAPAN enters the dim store and soon finds a TOY in the distance, radiating unbelievable amount of Pheromone… Seduced, NEO JAPAN checks that nobody is around, and reaches out for the TOY… But the moment he touches the TOY, his hand is grabbed by something, and will not release! It was a trap in the stomach of Mock up King. “Welcome to the Trap Showroom! May I HELLp You?” He Hold the Dos (yakuza sword) in his hand, suddenly attacked! At that moment, Everybody was blown away by IRON MEAT’s crash. Narrowly, NEO JAPAN escaped from this trap, return to consciousness and his anger exploded.

“Don’t dare you prey on Collectors!!” Is called COLLECTLISTER sets a trap within itself that radiates incredible pheromone, and sucks out energy from the collectors that are seduced…!! The cloth covering it’s face hides it’s presence and murderous intents, and fools the collectors skillfully…

Whilst we rather impatiently wait for the debut of their Two-Headed Cyclops, the guys over at up and coming sofubi house Planet X have just unveiled the prototype for yet another figure… the mighty Mecha-Goliathon!

Currently in the final stages of refinement ahead of production, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for the debut of Mecha-Goliathon before the year is out…

About Popo- “I designed Mr. Popo von Poomz back in the 90s. Previous incarnations of this character included random picnic table graffiti, phone pad doodles, and a hand crafted kitchen magnet. Popo is the butt of many a joke, yet he’s a dependable handyman and travellin’ road scamp. Now he’s been faithfully brought to life as a full-sized vinyl toy, produced in Japan. He’s guaranteed to brighten up any toy shelf…”

Kto Kto has just revealed that he’ll be taking part in the upcoming Bakuha Exhibition Vol.4 with the launch of 2 all-new figures!

With the show opening its doors on August 9th, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for more info on these guys very soon…
