Overview

Welcome to Australia's first sofubi exhibit. You might not immediately think that you know what that is, or that you should be excited — but you probably do, and you really should.

Sofubi is the Japanese nickname for soft vinyl toys, as first seen in the form of cute mascot characters in the '60s and monster toys in the '70s. Today, they're made by hand and with care by experienced craftsmen in Japan. They're also regarded as the world’s best grade of vinyl toy as a result.

That's why Bad Teeth Comics, Derrr Toys and Laced Brisbane have joined forces to show their love for the modern indie vinyl toy movement for one night only. Work by over 20 artists from Japan, Australia, the US and the UK will be on display, and for sale. There'll even be a few exclusive releases that you won't see elsewhere, for those extra keen on adding to — or starting, perhaps? — their own collection.
