Doktor A's "Thomas Nosuke" Sofubi from Tomenosuke!

When Bruce Whistlecraft, better known by his alias of Doktor A, visited Japan for the first time, it as a participant in April 2014's Monsters & Misfits III exhibition. Presumably at that time, he began discussing production opportunities with show co-coordinator Shinji Nakako of Tomenosuke. And the result, whose name certainly seems to be a tribute to Nakako's brand, is "Thomas Nosuke", a retro-futuristic robot imbued with Whistlecraft's Mechtorian flairs, like a mustache and stylish attire. Having evolved slowly over time, the above-pictured rendition being "Version 3", this piece is moving forward, sculptor Kaneko Yohei of Mirock Toy beginning work on the prototype of the piece for eventual casting in soft vinyl, or sofubi! Needless to say, I don't think any Dok A fan will be disappointed with the results.
