You won't believe the pedigree on this sofubi release…

Originally made to celebrate the one-year anniversary of HUF's Osaka location, the pictured soft vinyl figure was designed by street artist Remio, who helped sculptor Haroshi make a 3D rendition, which was then crafted in vinyl form — handmade one copy at a time — by Hirota Saigansho of HxS. Now, take a second and click on the links for these guys… this is some serious talent coming together! With only 50 pieces being produced, these were released about a month ago in Osaka, some of them coming with custom paints on the shades… But what makes it really cool is the video below, showing Remio hand-making a few in vinyl — though all the rest were handmade by Mr. Hirota, one by one.
