Max Toy x Paul Komoda Alien Xam project
Over the last year, I’ve had the honor with working with one of Hollywood’s best sculptor and artist Paul Komoda ! The other day, I was blown away by his progress on our new Alien Xam (2.0) Here’s a sneak peek at it !
Plans are for full sofubi production in Tokyo. I’m not quite sure about final release dates because of the virus and shipping delays but we’ll try to post progress as Paul moves along on Xam ! I don’t know about you guys but this thing is beautiful !

Updates:
I’ve decided to cancel ALL my in person shows for 2020. While Dcon may still be going forward, to be honest, and with available news on Coivd, I don’t see how I can even attend ANY indoor events without risk. I do have a pre existing condition plus would not want to pass it along to my mother or family. Of course, I wait for Dcon to make their final decisions.
=================================
My exhibit Kaiju vs Heroes is now closed after a 10 month run at JANM. Limited supplies on items from the show.
Look for NEW items coming very soon from JANM store ( online )

Max Toy Updates
Hi Max Toy Fans !
Let’s start with the not great news … obviously everyone is aware of the virus and with much discussion with my family, i have decided to cancel any con attendance for the next few months.. This includes the upcoming Creature Bazaar in Glendale ;-(
Super bummed.
Besides taking care of my 93 year old mother, I am also in the “elderly” group of over 50+ year olds to avoid crowds (I don’t know how I made it to that group ! )
I wish everyone to stay healthy and well out there !
I do have some customs and new releases coming up this month ( info below ) .. so hopefully you guys are able to support me that way.
In fact, for all Artists out there,Β I hope you can continue to support them.. in any way you can…
Your Kaiju Pal,
Mark
===========================

Asian America Podcast
A few months back had the privilege of sitting down at my exhibit, “Kaiju vs Heroes” at the Japanese American National Museum and talk to Ken Fong of Asian America podcast.
Here’s the link to the podcast: http://asianamericapodcast.com/?podcasts=mark-nagata
If you’re not familiar with who I am or what I’ve done to this point, the podcast does a good job at covering those aspects of my life ;-P
Many thanks to Ken and his podcast. Be sure to check out the other episodes they have as well.
