Tickets for this upcoming Zoom event will go up for sale soon via www.maxtoyco.com ! A ticket will allow you to participate in our chat with Javier, first access to exclusives and customs we are working on, too !

Also, sold out of this giant sized Kaiju Eyezon the other day ! At 18 inches in height, these take me extra time to prep and paint ;-P Thus the edition was only x3 pieces ! Sculpted and produced by Joe Somers/ Squibbles Ink and EW Factory.

Below, now sold out, my custom Klav9 Tank Club, tank for Clutter Gallery show. Some really awesome customs of this cool sofubi tank still available here: https://shop.cluttermagazine.com/gallery/1387

 

And our new upcoming Max Toy header, approved by Tsuburaya Productions, for our Ultra series of sofubi figures. Art by Mark Nagata 😉 Can you guess on what we are working on ?!!

Ultra Kaiju Bemstar and Twintails will have a USA release soon so please look out for that. Also just got sample pictures of THREE more Ultraman colorways ! Very cool ones very soon !
Ultraman collector cards ! There’s a Kickstarter for them now ( fully funded) but I was asked to contribute a few original sketched cards for the set. These will be randomly inserted into the packs. Card set is fully licensed by Tsuburaya Productions, too ! Will show them as soon as i do them and they get approved ;-P
And a little sneak peek at a new Ultraman header card I’m working on … you might “see” a glimpse of it during the Super Sofubi Show thingy above ;-P
Still needs final approval tho …!
Special online show “Kaiju Amigos” with good friend Javier Jimenez for May. Details very soon and we hope to offer some Fun stuff plus a special Zoom chat with us 😉
As always, appreciate your continued support and look forward to showing you more new projects very soon !

Max Toy Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates, we’ve had a series of nice ( and Sold Out ) toy releases from Tsuburaya Productions Ultraman and Go Nagai / Dynamic Pro Mazinger Z figures ! BY the way, ALL Pre Order for the Mazinger Z figure are now shipped. This particular colorway is now sold out. Look for a few more glows and hopefully a Glitter version very soon !

Best to sign up to our mailing list or follow me on Instagram @maxtoyco for daily updates and what not… here’s a update on our new Eyezon project !

Shin Eyezon project is now in the iron mold stage in Tokyo ! Expertly sculpted by Beth Graves – http://www.bethgraves.net/

 

And based on a design by the awesome Sophie Campbell – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Campbell

Takes about 4-6 weeks in this next stage. Once the molds are done than a test pull will be generated to make sure there’s no issues pulling the soft vinyl. From there we’ll get some paint masks made which will take another few weeks. In the meantime working on the header cards with Sophie and soon we will be ready for the first release !

To give you an idea of this new Eyezons size .. here’s the sculpt with his Brothers ( or is it Sisters ?!?)

Max Toy Updates

Sorry guys for the lack of updates here, but for the latest news follow my Instagram: maxtoyco or subscribe to our mailing list on our web page. Lots of drops have already happened and most have fully sold out ( see below) We will have one more drop next week ( I think ) for the year so look out for that.

Pre Orders – All Dark Ultraman orders have shipped ! Thank you for waiting, as it took a bit longer with shipping to get them (roughly 2.5 months).

Also, if you Pre Ordered a Mazinger Z ( normal and wings versions) we got only half of them in stock and those have now shipped out. Obviously if you have not received it, you will be in the next wave ( expected in late Dec/ early Jan. But, I will email you with a offer so please wait for that email.

    Santacluth by MadMonk1869 (now sold out)

 

Edition of x2 mini Kaiju Eyezon for this weekends Clutter Holiday show. Contact them for more info !

 

Now sold out, Mazinger Z Max Toy editions from Holy Mountain Toys.

Awesome pictures they took !!

 

New Eyezon project with Artist Sophie Campbell and Sculptor Beth Graves ! Apologies to Beth, this is a super duper rough to her sculpt, but don’t worry it’s looking Fantastic and I will post more in progress pics very soon !

 

Looking forward, for January 1st, 2021, we have a major drop coming !!! You have been warned  😉

I want to take a moment to say “Thank You” so much for the wonderful support of Max Toys (here and in Japan) for this year ! It’s not been the best of years on many levels, but as we close out, I think a glimmer of hope on the horizon for better days ahead.

As a small business, I appreciate your support, and even if just a kind word. I encourage you to support your favorite independent artists if you can as I know many are struggling during this pandemic.

Happy Holidays !

 

Your Kaiju Pal,

Mark
