Thanks so much for your time and attention, guys! I did, actually! Most of what I came home with was various Secret Base/Gargamel fighters and Kumon, though I did also snag some Grody Shogun, Cure Toys, a Funk Shit and Obake Dogs. There was an *unbelievable* amount of everything, but I certainly had to conserve funds and MANY places elsewhere to put them into! |

Thank you guys, very much! My time spent there was absolutely surreal. Getting to see what goes into toys we love, covet and collect so dearly from the ground up gave me an all new appreciation on the highest scale! |

It was great to read those informative articles coupled with their inspiring behind the scene pics. There's some real treasures in those shots. It gives us more insight into the craft and dedicated blood, sweat, and tears that goes into our sofubi. |

Thank you guys for taking the time to read and reply! The mold factory, I'd have to say, was the most eye opening, for sure!
