Rotofugi says…

Kaiju cultists have about 70 reasons to celebrate as Toy Karma II unveils another overstuffed exhibition of Japanese toys and art — all inspired by classic Japanese miniatures. Among the scores of artists and toy designers represented, curator Mark Nagata (Max Toy) has commissioned several exclusives from J-toy favorites like Marmit, Rumble Monsters, and Chatactics. Rotofugi rookies should check out the sneak preview for a sample of the adorably odd figurines (we're kind of partial to Mushroom Juice Man). Pieces are available through the preview list, but exclusives are available first only at the gallery opening.
