Toy Art Gallery has released the original edition of the Karakasa Obake – Tattoo Man figure created by Hiroshi Hirakawa of Three Tides Tattoo and co-produced with Secret Base. First released in a solid gray prototype edition in July during the ‘Japanese Devil’ exhibition @ TAG, Karakasa Obake takes on new life with this first fully painted edition.

Cast in light blue vinyl with red and yellow sprays, this edition features extensive multicolor tattoos on both arms and the single leg.  Such detailed deco is  notable not just for its aesthetic value but also because it’s rarely seen on sofubi.  The Karakasa Obake Original Edition is available now online from TAG for $100.  There’s also a figure + limited-edition poster set for $120 which is only available at TAG’s Melrose location.
