■ What is the "Middle Size Series (MSS)"?
This is a series of deformed soft vinyl figures that express Japan's proud character culture, such as special effects movies and anime, with traditional soft vinyl figures about 13 cm tall. It is a soft vinyl series delivered in a palm-sized format that is easy to collect, incorporating "retro" impressions from pop and somewhat nostalgic modeling expressions, as well as "art" elements with newness and stylishness such as innovative coloring.
It has been 10 years since the company started selling products using the manufacturing method of this series in 2016. So far, approximately 300 types of products have been released, and the series has been supported by fans for a long time, selling over 100,000 units in total, with events held not only in specialty stores but also in major mass retailers, multiplex cinemas, and recently at stations in major cities and Haneda Airport.
Up until now, the series has mainly focused on special effects content, but with this renewal, we will expand our challenges to include live-action movie characters and anime characters.
Soft vinyl has been a culture deeply loved along with Japan's special effects content for a long time, and the Middle Size Series has also focused on special effects until now. With the desire to "expand soft vinyl figures, which can be an opportunity for fans to love their works even more, to more works," we will expand the "Middle Size Series (MSS)" into new genres and works beyond our previous scope.
■ Highlights of the Middle Size Series (MSS)
【Commitment to Modeling and Design】
We believe that the essence of the retro impression of soft vinyl culture is its "deformed" feel. While valuing this deformed feel, we also pursue the realistic and elaborate modeling beauty expressed in CCPJAPAN's high-end products, and we continue to be particular about conflicting modeling beauty that is both retro and elaborate. We also ensure that the individuality of the sculptors can be expressed in detail, pursuing manufacturing that harmonizes "retro x real x individuality."
【Commitment to Coloring】
The coloring of the products faithfully reproduces the original, but there are also cases where artistic color variations are developed. The Middle Size Series (MSS) is also characterized by unique color variations and bold color schemes not found in other companies. In addition, all coloring is done by craftsmen by hand. Since individual differences arise even within the same color variation, you can truly obtain a one-of-a-kind figure in the world.
■ Middle Size Series (MSS) New Products
In conjunction with the renewal of the Middle Size Series (MSS), we will develop the following new products.
◆ Scheduled for release in September 2026 【Sadako】
Sadako, representing Japan's horror characters, makes her appearance!!
We have paid close attention to the modeling and coloring down to the smallest details, from her unique full-body silhouette that also feels unbalanced, to the undulations of her characteristic long hair, the dirt on her clothes, and her broken fingertips.
Indeed, a humanoid character, which can be called a new frontier for MSS, will appear.
Pre-orders will begin on April 30th (Thursday), 2026, and will be accepted at stores and online stores handling CCPJAPAN products.
◆ Coming Soon 【Monster "Harugon"】
Furthermore, the monster "Harugon" from the new anime "Otome Kaiju Caramelize," which will be broadcast in July 2026, will appear in MSS!!
Features such as its heart-shaped dorsal fin are attractively incorporated into the deformed soft vinyl.
Currently under enthusiastic development.
◆ Coming Soon 【"Double Headed Shark Attack" "Triple Headed Shark Attack"】
From the intensely popular shark movies, soft vinyl figures of multi-headed sharks from Asylum films "Double Headed Shark Attack" and "Triple Headed Shark Attack" will appear!!
These are also scheduled for release at the "3rd Tokyo International Shark Film Festival" to be held in July 2026, followed by nationwide sales.
◆ Coming Soon 【Various Godzilla Series】
The Godzilla series is the most extensive in MSS and has been very well received by many customers.
