I just saw these via instagram. Not sure what the official name is but articulation is kind of cool.

The new head is so amazing, I didn't notice the new body immediately. This really opens up the whole mix-and-match aesthetic with the adult type figures, especially for the more mechanical heads of the past few years (Mohican Trooper, the Guyver-ish one, etc.).

Most RxH are sold through his physical store, so you either need to be there, find a friend or pay the secondary market sellers.

He posts new releases on his Instagram periodically, @realxhead.



As a lucky cat collector this has been incredibly frustrating for me. The batches now are tiny and disappear (even from the secondary market) before I even usually see the announcements. Does anyone know why Mori stopped dealing with US stores?

^^ I've always assumed that its a language barrier thing as well as maybe he doesn't need the extra hassle.
He obviously makes a perfectly good living just selling to Japanese collectors . . . .

There are plenty of Sofubi manufacturers that dont deal directly with foreigners - like Bear Model for example.

I was under the impression that Mori still has the clothing / toys store in a more central location
and the tiny one above replaces Shinto Gangu . . .

I was also wondering where to find them since the Tokyo Underground 2 book had the old addy. Thanks for sharing the info! Looking at the way he releases on Instagram hopefully I can visit twice while I'm over there in august.
