The 'Tezuka Osamu Characters Sofvi Collection' is supervised by Tezuka Productions, bringing scenes from original manga to life in three dimensions.

Previous releases include 'Ambassador Atom' and 'Phoenix: Chiroru', making this a well-received series of sofubi figures that allow fans to enjoy the charm of characters throughout the series.

The distinctive and elegant curves drawn by Osamu Tezuka are reproduced using sofubi manufacturing techniques cultivated at the in-house 'Chukukobo' studio and hand-painting by skilled craftsmen, achieving a finish that looks as if the characters have leaped out of the pages.

The series aims to showcase lesser-known aspects of famous characters that only readers of the works know, encouraging people to read the works again.

The 4th wave introduces Sharaku Hosuke from the manga 'The Three-Eyed One' and Unico from the manga 'Unico' as sofubi figures.

These sofubi are art pieces designed to be enjoyed for years alongside the original manga.

*1: The bonus acrylic keychain design corresponds to the purchased character. Bonuses are available while supplies last.
