Happy 20th Anniversary Max Toy Company !

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years of Max Toy Company ! As usual I have not kept up with updates (here), for up to date info, you should check our Instagram @maxtoyco and/or subscribe to our email list ( there’s a button on our homepage somewhere)

Amongst stuff happening this year, we should be trekking to Mexico for toy adventures, a children’s book based on my life in toys called “Monster Maker: The Strange Creatures of Mark Nagata” written by author Debbi Michiko Florence with Art by Inko Ai Takita Published by Reycraft books late 2025 release.

Oh and I’ve dubbed this year the Year of Eyezon as well .. the mutant potato is by far our most popular character and you will see new versions and collabs of him this year too !

Of course you can expect many customs and collabs with myself and Max so please keep an eye on our Instagrams ( Max’s is @maxnagataart )

I’m probably forgetting stuff and will try my best to update here in the future ;-P

Max Toy BIG updates

Once again, sorry for not updating this page, but if you want almost daily updates please check my Instagram page : @maxtoyco

First, just got back from Tokyo after over 3 years and in brief had an absolute wonderful time ! Have things changed ? Yes, they have … for one, 99.9% of the people wear a mask everywhere, so it was a struggle to wear a mask basically all day (for me !). As an observation even way out in the middle of now where and outside, with a single guy across the street, he kept his mask on  😉 Anyways, not putting down anyone, just a mindset shift compared to here. My main reason to go was to catch up in person with toy friends and attend Winter Wonderfest. I’ll write more about that later after my jet lag passes .. it’s true the older you get the worse the adjustment is coming home (!) Toy shopping wise made it to a few places, but found a lack of Bullmark/Marusan figures .. gone were the days of 3-4+ rows deep of them and at least 5-6+ full cases … now they were single file/row, spread out and barely a few cases for vintage or a mix of vintage with newer Medicom stuff. I can only speculate the vintage stuff is mostly online now, which makes total sense since foreign collectors have not really returned (yet). Oh, I have to say, I’d say I’m an advanced collector and the shelves had vinyls, but lots of newer stuff, that I had zero interest in 😉

Ok on to the news … ! Our big news is Max Toy’s upcoming release of Ultraman and Gomess from the Shin Ultraman movie ! Fully licensed and ©︎2022 SUMFP ©︎TPC !

These will be released in the USA, I hope around May .. so look for a possibe Pre Order in April.. details soon !

Now Sold Out ( although check back to see if any are left in a few days as we ship them out ) Red Clear Mazinger Z figure !

and don’t forget we have Getter 2 figures now in stock and shipping:

Ok more news very soon and thank you again for the support !
