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 ?!!

and the art by itself  …

Working on much more, but too tired to post it all here  ;-P Stay tuned !

Updates:
Shin Eyezon update. At the iron mold factory hope to hear more news soon ! Header card art by the awesome Sophie Campbell is done too !
Pre Orders: Clear Blue Ultraman is still in pre order status. Hopefully we can get them in April/May time frame. However go this image of the figure from the factory so we are almost done !
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 !
Your Kaiju Pal,
Mark

Posting up this Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021, I’ve painted a variety of Max Toy Company original sofubi figures in micro runs ( meaning x10 pieces or less !). Max Toy Club members have been given first access but don’t worry there’s remaining figures to choose from ! All items available will post to our web store: www.maxtoyco.com at a random time. Appreciate the support and good luck !

Here’s a peek at what’s on offer:

 Mecha Nekoron on clear yellow sofubi

 

Kaiju TriPus on clear dark blue sofubi

 

Kaiju Eyezon on white sofubi

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 September Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates but as usual lots of stuff going on 😉 Of course, the best way to see what’s up is to follow our Instagram feed – @maxtoyco

I want to thank everyone for the support… we just sold out of all our Pre Order Tsuburaya Productions figures ! Posted below, Dark Baltan, Dark Ultraman and Green Fireman !

But, on the Dark Ultraman, we got so many people asking us if we’d do another run.. that I’ve put up a Pre Order for a final second run here:

https://www.maxtoyco.com/Store/Pre-Order-round-2-Ultraman-Dark-version-Tsuburaya-Productions-x-Max-Toy/1822

I will only have it up thru this weekend and than that’s it ! Please read the description about our Pre Orders.

These are now fully sold out !

Below, Only a few pieces left of the following.. “Red Ghost” Gerald Okamura, “Man of Many Weapons” !

And marbled Kaiju Eyezon ! This one turned out very cool ! And because of the process, no two are alike ! Order him here: https://www.maxtoyco.com/Store/Clear-Red-Ghost-Gerald-Okamura-Man-of-Many-Weapons/1821

Order him here: https://www.maxtoyco.com/Store/Kaiju-Eyezon-Orange-Yellow-marbled-painted-version/1829

Finally, I was surprised our Dolphin Patrol figure got a lot of attention .. and, to be honest, I should have made more  ;-P Personally, it’s one of my favorite figures we’ve done, but really hasn’t gotten too much love.. maybe it’s the clear vinyl with paint that did it this time ! He’s sold out.. but we’ll do another one soon !

Happy Holidays 2019 !

Happy Holidays from Max Toy Company ! Wishing you good Health and Happiness in 2020 ! We’re entering our 15th year (!) and have a bunch of cool projects to show you guys. As always, we could not keep making toys without your continued support and both Yo-san and I appreciate it !

Friday, I will start taking Pre Orders for a very exciting figure … So check back here, or your email or Instagram @maxtoyco !!
