A soft vinyl figure from the meeting of Realhead and Goccodo, a pale skeleton body beneath a pink skull face.
The Piece
The body is cast in milky white with the ribs and spine picked out in red, yellow and blue, and the hands and feet are dipped in pale blue. A pink skull, grinning, sits on the shoulders. The figure stands on its own and turns at the usual joints.
Independent Soft Vinyl in Japan
Soft vinyl, the hollow moulded plastic of the monster toys of the 1960s, never left Japan. A generation of independent makers took over the old factories and the old methods, pouring small runs by hand and painting each figure with spray and brush. Releases are sold at events in Tokyo or by ballot, often in runs of a few dozen, and a colourway is rarely repeated. That scarcity, and the visible hand in every painted example, is why these figures are followed so closely by collectors abroad.
