Mugi Teaworthy Sofubi Launch

Coming this weekend, is a new Mechtorian sofubi designed by Doktor A and produced by Lowbrowee Toys!

Meet (Sir) Mugi Teaworthy!

This Shiba Inu doggo robot Mechtorian is the first of it’s kind to be made in Japanese soft vinyl. Not at all menacing, he is a playful charmer (as the play pose suggests) and a snappy dresser, with his three interchangeable hats – topper, bowler, fez – one for each mood. 

With his tail carried high up to reveal a fine behind, he is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches long. This first colorway (grey mint) brings to mind Lady Liberty and pocket George Washington portrait prints but is mostly inspired by the interior design of Fortnum and Mason – his favorite London spot for afternoon tea. He likes cake and scones, by the way, but also crumpets.

The first edition in the lovely Mint colourway is launching this Saturday March 16th 2024 at 5pm GMT
at www.mugiart.shop

The limited edition of only 20 pieces each come poly bagged with a header card and all three hats.
They are $80 (USD) each plus shipping and handling.

Get yourself a Mechtorian doggo pet!
