Wow. Five years. It’s a little hard to believe it’s already been five years since Mark Nagata started Max Toy to bring his Kaiju visions to life.  To celebrate the milestone, Mark has invited a selection of artists to interpret his characters for the ‘Max Toy 5th Anniversary Show’ which will debut with an opening at DesignFesta in Toyko (4.2 – 4.3) and then travel to the USA for an opening at Double Punch in SF on April 23rd.  

Here’s a preview of some of the original artwork created for the show from several artists including Daniel Goffin (above), Hariken, Jen Rarey, Kaijin, Ralph CosentinoTouma and more.    Perhaps not surprisingly, the consensus character to reinterpret is Captain Maxx (he who started it all) with some love for Eyezon and Mark’s newer creations.  Look for toy exclusive previews shortly.
