A giant soft vinyl from two of Tokyo’s most sought-after independent makers: Grape Brain’s Nigiru in INSTINCTOY’s Mega Erosion form, finished in black and gold. Released by venue lottery at INSTINCTOY SHOW TOKYO 2026, it stands about 74 cm (29.1 in) tall and comes with its serial number and certificate.
The Piece
INSTINCTOY, the Tokyo studio of Hiroto Ohkubo, is known for the melting, dripping Erosion figures that turned a Japanese soft vinyl tradition into contemporary art toys. Grape Brain’s Nigiru, a wide-eyed girl clutching eyeballs in her hands, is one of the most collected characters of the current sofubi scene. Here the two meet in the Mega format, the largest scale either maker works in.
Nigiru wears a glossy black coat of drips, its texture picked out with glitter, under a black bob and two tall gilt ears. Gold claws tip the feet and a gold rim edges each eye, while the pale pink hands hold the eyeballs up to the face in the character’s signature pose. The figure comes in its fitted foam inner box with an illustrated presentation sleeve, a pair of INSTINCTOY handling gloves and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
Mega figures are made in very small numbers, and this black and gold colourway was offered only to visitors of the 2026 show by lottery.
Height about 74 cm (29.1 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.
