TAN’s Pig Pig Man sofubi revealed…

Originally teased in clay prototype form just a few weeks back, the follow up to TAN‘s hugely popular Mimi Monster – the wonderfully grotesque Pig Pig Man – has just been revealed in soft vinyl! Drawing inspiration across urban legend and neo-kaiju, the beautifully sculpted figure appears to be much larger than Mimi at around 7″ long (TBC), coming with a flabby pig torso and appendages with a human-faced head akin to Jinmenken. With TAN currently experimenting with various paint apps (like the gloriously bloody version you see above), we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for the figure’s debut very soon…

Elusive sofubi producer Target Earth have just unveiled a total of 4 new figures up for preorder, a couple of which we know – in typical TE style – will be turning a few heads due to their striking similarity to some very popular products on the market right now!

Based on the same fictional 1964 military ‘bot as HxS’ Brutal Ace, the towering figure stands at 11″ tall, featuring a similar smooth design, antenna head and red eyes, with the addition of a new chained ball omake (not pictured) for the princely sum of 17,000yen ($157)… Next, we have another figure you will have sworn you’ve seen before, Target Earth’s very own interpretation of the Machine Gorilla. Near-identical to Zollmen and Cosmo Knight Alpha’s version, the 12″ beast – based on a 2005 mini from Amapro – features a similar body shape, head and tower omake, albeit with newly revised claws and chest plate. Painted up in a gorgeous metallic pink over blue and brown vinyl, this guy will set you back 19,000yen ($175)… Next up, we have the fifth and sixth figures from TE’s resurrected mini series, Psycho Tank and Jap Bug! Coming in at around 5.5″ tall/long, these crazy sculpts have been cast in red and flesh vinyl respectively, featuring a swathe of flat/metallic sprays and hand painted detailing for just 4,500yen ($42) each… Looking to bag any of the figures mentioned?
