Making a Japanese soft vinyl toy! Wananeko!

Description


Last week I uploaded a project to the crowdfunding platform 
IndieGoGo. I wanted to transform my character Wananeko from a resin figure to a Japanese soft vinyl toy aka sofubi. Sofubi is the material in which the Japanese have been producing their kaiju and yokai toys since the 60s, so no vinyl in the world can equal the quality of Japanese sofubi.

I needed $6,000 to make the toy, and the project was fully funded in less than two days! So I established a new goal: to make the Baby version of the figure (first seen in resin on this campaign) in Japanese vinyl too! Now all we need is to hit $8,000, and we already have $7,608, with still 22 days to go! Once we hit the stretch goal, those who pre-ordered the vinyl Wananeko will get a vinyl Baby for free with their order. And it's one Baby per regular Wananeko, which means that if you ordered more than one you will get the same amount in Babies!

If you're interested, please choose one of the rewards available (or more than one!) and back the project here:


You can also help by spreading the word. Any kind of help will be much appreciated!!!
