Post Etoya and Minoru
Got a huge shock at MONSTOCK tonight, walked in and had this shoved in our faces, but shoved in a good way for sure. Ok, this thing is just incredible, its doesnt have a name yet but is from a collaboration by Etoya and Minoru. Its a chimera of the Tochuhaso mushroom and a cicada pupae. I love the adult one but the baby is so freaking cute! Both of these sets are just sample colors and I am not sure of a definite release or colorway, these just got done in the last few days. I am hoping beyond hope that these will be easy to get.

Enjoy my bad pictures!

This Moai Robot from Sugiyama is pretty awesome too! So far a black has been made but more will be coming and with different heads to be created too! This one below was just a sample.

These look like they are sculpted by the same person who sculpted the Parabasu or Pabasu, one of my all time Favorite sculpts.

the Moai is pretty cool but those mushroom slugs are awesome. The seems like a really nice size too. Can't wait to see different versions of these guys.

These are pretty cool. Like the mushrooms clinging to the backs and the armor is a nice touch. I'm sort of wishing they had legs though. I know there slugs but I think they would look more toy-like with some articulation and less of the plopped-down-on-the-shelf look.

Agreed, if I got them, I probably wouldn't display them with my other toys, I'd probably use them more as interior decorations put them on the book shelf or something like that.
