Max Toy's King Negora, the house's armoured cat kaiju, carried out in a custom metallic finish: a coat that shifts from deep violet and blue to magenta, a blazing gold and red dorsal ridge, and gleaming silver machine armour set with ruby lenses.
The Piece
Negora is Max Toy's own creation, a cat kaiju with pointed ears and a fanged grin that has become one of the most loved characters in designer soft vinyl. As King Negora he is rebuilt as a war machine: the chest opens on a great silver engine of pistons and gears, the shoulders, knees, paws and tail tip are cased in mechanical armour, and a turret of pipes crowns the head between the ears.
The custom painter has treated the fur as a field of metallic colour, sweeping from blue-black at the head through iridescent blue and violet to hot magenta at the paws, every strand of the sculpt catching the light. The spiky ridge down the back burns in gold, orange and red, and the armour is finished in bright silver with red lenses, the underside of the paws in pink pads with red centres. It is an exceptionally accomplished custom, even and complete across the whole figure.
