Uamou has recently been incorporating metal into her sofubi pieces – using it as abstract deco of sorts on top of her signature character. Her new collection of ‘Masked Uamous’ for Toy Art Gallery continues this exploration in a more focused manner with unique, one-of-a-kind copper masks accenting the figures cast in glittery lamé vinyl of varying shades. TAG’s collection includes both 7” Masked Real Uamou figures ($200) and 4” Masked Classic Uamous ($40). The new figures look great, especially the larger Masked Real Uamous – some of which feature striking masks with engraving and faceted surfaces. The Masked Uamous will be released on Friday (8.9) @ Noon PDT from TAG’s online shop.
