[To celebrate their recloation to Itabashi, Monstock hosted a show featuring numerous exclusives including a crossover sculpt with Hariken, the man behind the Mad Panda. Here’s our on the scene report from Luke Rook, our man in Japan (hey, it rhymes and we like it…)]
Monstock (moved to Itabashi and locals will never be the same. They celebrated with Hariken's opening, which had it all: paintings, figures, shirts, and even buttons. EVERYTHING! It's always fun to see Hariken's mischievous and playfully cynical work.
Did I mention the exclusives? Tons of exclusives that I'm sure are way sold out by now. Hariken dropped an new sculpt with Monstock, Blitzgon (above), and also a Mad Panda in matching colors. Monstock dropped a series of bombs all of it's own. A new beautiful gem of a Destdon mini lime green and a gold and silver set. If that wasn't enough there was a delicious milky version of Borugogon designed by Nezrange. But wait, there's more. Last, but by far from least, Paborasu . Look for way more micro-versions of this giant.
Monstock is a little out from the whole toy circle but way worth the hop. Monstock's Isao San is a monster making toys that only he could make. Crazy cool stuff for sure.
