"Kakkowarai Zakkaten"=(LOL)! Speaking of horror Vinyl Toy, for those of you who like "Yoshiko", this is the one addictive toy you're gonna love!
The "Sofuvi" I'd like to introduce to you this time is from "Kakkowarai Zakkaten" (LOL)!
Speaking of "Kakkowarai-san", that'll be "Yoshiko"! It's THIS Designer Vinyl!
It's a horror Vinyl Toy, but it's addictive. To Yoshiko.
"Yoshiko"-chan is amazing! I'm not sure if it's because I'm Japanese, but I've been attracted to Japanese monster, and I think the Japanese soft vinyl culture is a perfect match.
"Kakkowarai" actually has a store in Toyohashi city, Aichi Prefecture, and I have actually visited the store.
In a word, it was a very "interesting" store where the owner's hobby was on full display! There were horror figures, rock apparel, and a heavy metal music, like Pantera, playing in the background, it was a very chaotic and fun place in a good way!
"Kakkowarai Zakka" is a store that sells creator's goods, airbrush painting, horror toys, and original T-shirts. He also have a lot of other toys and sundries. Soft vinyl, painting, silk-screen painting, and T-shirt production. Mainly mail order.
It used to be a general store, but the owner have turned the same place into a workshop/shop.
And after all, it's the Vinyl Toy of Yoshiko, isn't it? She has three eyes, a slit mouth, and a bob-hair head.
The fact that each piece is painted differently without the need for a paint mask is also a charm of Yoshiko.
These are the three types of Yoshiko, but as you can see from the website, there are actually many more Yoshiko. The one I got recently is this rainbow clear color!
This one was actually colored by Ito-san of P@inter Net, so it's a collaborative work!
He also have a Twitter page, and I found out about this color (rainbow) on Twitter and clicked it in to purchase!

And the charm of Yoshiko goes really well with shrines, dark alleys, retro-landscapes, and so on! The charm of Yoshiko also includes the charm of its photogenic shine.
I've actually photographed the Vinyl Toy in a variety of places, but the unique charm of Yoshiko's Vinyl Toy is so strong that she can fit in surprisingly well in any place.
If you dare to take her in a stylish coffee shop, you'll see the gap between the two, and the spot where you take the picture will be dyed in Yoshiko's colors.
I also talk about it in detail on YouTube.
In the future, I would like to continue to introduce Vinyl Toy Artists, and since
there are many different kinds of artists, I would like to delve deeper into such
Vinyl Toy Artists and introduce them along with their works.
