    Thanks guys!
    Sorry to say I'll only have 4 Kappa on hand when I debut them but there are more in process.
    These suckers take some time :|
    I think I have 10 Ikakumora though, more also in the works too.

    I don't venture into the custom toys thread much, but once I saw the Kappa and Squid posted on KK, I just had to come in here and let you know that they look amazing. They are nice and big too! Great job Miles.

    Whenever I am at Tiki-Ti's in Los Angeles, I always think of your mugs.

    Kappa and Ikakumora... New Figure "Shishi" (page 3)

    Finished the last of Shishi's molds Thursday and should be dry enough to pour tomorrow. Super excited to assemble the first one! Was a full 7 days straight of making the eight molds. :? Most molds and pieces per mold Ive done for one object yet.
    Here was a pic of the final sculpt
    [​IMG]

    The little boy is one of the twins, will pour him twice per set. Still need names for the twins. Friend suggested Ichiro and Jiro but not sold on it yet. Any suggestions? Their place in the set will be explained once released as each set will come with a mini story book. Basically though Shishi is the good guy, the twins his summoners and pals.

    Ikakumora also fits into the story as the villains minnion. Villains name is TakoShi (Octopus Death), He'll be released at a later date.

    Thanks for the words!
    No pour today, need to mix up a fresh batch of slip so at least two more days to wait :?

    Cool, no plans for vinyl personally. If another company wanted to pick it up I wouldn't be opposed to the idea :)

    as curious as i am to see these in vinyl, i can't imagine the artwork itself gaining anything from it...

    what's most amazing (to me) about this series is that the sofubi styling isn't in vinyl. the forms translate perfectly into ceramics.

    that being said, i would probably buy at least one vinyl Ika, but personally want a ceramic first... :D

    amazing work dude, please keep it up!

    It would definitely lose the beauty of the glazes, but I want to be able to pick one up and pose it. :)
