The "Tezuka Osamu Characters Sofvi Collection" transforms scenes from the original manga into three-dimensional figures under the supervision of Tezuka Productions. The series has previously featured characters like "Ambassador Atom" and "Phoenix: Tyrol," and has been well-received for allowing fans to enjoy character charm in 3D throughout the series.
The characteristic and elegant curves drawn by Osamu Tezuka are reproduced using soft vinyl production techniques cultivated at the in-house studio "Chukyu-kobo" and hand-painting by artisans. The result is a finish that looks as if the characters have jumped straight out of the manga. The goal is to highlight different sides of famous characters that only readers know, encouraging them to pick up the manga once again.
In this third installment, the genius surgeon Black Jack and his assistant Pinoko from the masterpiece "Black Jack" appear as soft vinyl figures.
Everyone who purchases this product will receive one special trading card as a bonus. Furthermore, those who purchase both "Black Jack" and "Pinoko" will receive a limited-quantity special acrylic stand (*1) as a gift.
These are soft vinyl art pieces designed to be enjoyed for a long time alongside the original manga.
*1: The special acrylic stand is a bonus for set purchases at the Kenelephant official online store. It is not included with individual purchases. Available while supplies last due to limited quantity.
