INFORMATION
Hong Kong soft rubber toy manufacturer Unbox Industries created the " Strange Box " and " Strange Box Color " box based on the creation of the Japanese horror cartoonist "Ito Junji" as the theme. The soft plastic busts of "Goto Kiri" and "Black Valley Thistle" that have caused enthusiastic responses at Wonder Festival 2022[Summer] will finally be available for pre-order on March 18th, and will be shipped in July 2023.
From 1998 to 1999, it was serialized in the manga magazine "Big Comic Spirits" of the Shogakukan, and the three volumes of "Uzumaki" in the single book, with high school students "Godao Tonge" and "Saito Shuichi" as the protagonists, the story begins when the two meet However, the small town "Black Vortex Town" where they live seems to be cursed by the "vortex". All kinds of supernatural phenomena, human body mutations, and natural disasters related to the whirlpool occur one after another, and they are getting more and more out of control.
This time, the height of the two three-dimensional busts is both 16 cm. The prototype part was once again invited to the Japanese special modeling artist "Wan Lin". Let's start with the short-haired girl "Black Valley Ji"~ not just the one that will be swallowed by the vortex The forehead on the right is profoundly reproduced, and the combination of the swirl texture that seems to have devoured the flesh and the delicate brushstrokes conveys a strong and disturbing atmosphere of curiosity. It also forms a sharp contrast. With a photography method similar to the UNBOX official picture, which is a bit confusing, it can definitely show the charm of the black grain thistle to the maximum!
Then there is "Tonge" created according to the setting of the curly hair chapter. It seems that the long hair with self-awareness has curled into swirls one after another, and the round lines and hair lines are carefully shaped, showing the beautiful hair of Tonge. The smoothness of the hair, the slight turning of the head, and the eyes looking diagonally behind also fully reflect the setting in the story that Tong Hui only realized that his hair was curled up after being asked by his classmate "Guan Ye". Both models are very attractive!
