Super Vinyl Toy Reviews: NERD ONE Stereogon and PicoPico Cat Fighter

Pico Pico's Mecha School Girl Resin Figure..!!

Luke from Lulubell Toys:
Stopped by Pico Pico's studio and snapped a few sneak peeks of his new resin figure. She makes her debut at Billiken Shokai's new group show this week.There is no doubt that the man can sculpt but this little cutie really stands out. Not one hundred percent sure on final price but it's looking like 50,000 yen for painted, 25,000 for rub and 10,000 raw. If you are in Tokyo get to this show.


Thanks Luke..! Let's see this figure in vinyl..!! Machine Girl anyone?

Pico Pico for Red Carpet Kaiju Show at TAG

This toy designer Pico Pico is growing on me as well. Whereas something un-nerving about his female cat wrestlers, I do like the Luchas as well as these two dudes. The robot above kicks ass. Thanks Martoy!

PICO PICO is here....!!!!

You like cats with boobs that fight? Well, look no further cause PICO PICO is here!!!

From Luke at Lulubell Toys:

I was lucky enough to be invited to the studio of PICO PICO. I find myself at a serious loss for words. You're just going to have to look for yourself. I will say that this dude is the real deal. A deep well of wicked and wild imagination. There is little he doesn't do, from full size kaiju suits, acrylic painting, puppets, soft vinyl, resin and drawing. PICO PICO draws influence from 80's cartoons to Basil Wolverton to Yokai and Ultraman and a crazy amalgamation of each creature in between. Everything is rendered in the only way it could, fanatical and amazing. Check out the monster a day project, although online only goes back to 2009, it started in 2001.

Missed out on Cat Fighter? Lulubell has a few up for pre sale, a very few.
