密着24時！ソフビ職人 - "Sofubi" Toy Makers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- ウルトラマン、ゴジラ、仮面ライダー......。古き良き昭和の時代に隆盛を極めたソフトビニール人形、通称「ソフビ」。手触り良い感触に小さな手のひらを重ねて夢観たヒーローや怪獣たちのSF世界にいま、大人たちがこぞって夢中に。
フィギアショップ「リアルヘッド」の森かつら氏と70歳の職人、後藤氏の下を訪ね、ソフビの魅力に迫る。
The designer toy movement has inventively made it's way to the "sofubi" scene, an abbreviation for "soft vinyl" in Japanese. For more than 10 years, Mori Katsura of Realxhead has been creating original action figures using his 60 year-old process, which includes Mori's secret weapon, a 70 year-old master painter named Goto. Vice follows Mori, an innovator in the indie soft vinyl scene where he collaborates with Goto to produce new toys.

Im so happy I made this. It warms my heart to see people still watch it
2021 here, just watched it for the first time. Interesting that they didn't show Real Head's actual toy making process, just the painting. His stuff is super-expensive and very difficult to obtain these days, I wonder if he's upgraded to a bigger studio now?
Thank you for bringing such a great video. I have watched it many times in the past two years, and it brings me new feelings every time I watch it.
4:35 「常に同じだと飽きるんだよね」凄い説得力あるね。右手にウルトラマン、左手にゴジラを持っていた世代としては頑張ってほしい業界。
Years on and this is still one of my favourite videos ever. I would really love more content or a series of profiles on different sofubi designers. I love how punk and DIY has found its way to physical toy art-object-media (???). Saving up to succumb to collecting in the years to come.
Thanks 😉
何回も観てしまう動画です。
作家はもちろん。日本の大切な文化でもあります。
ソフビ検索していたら８年も前の動画に出会ってしまった！
またソフビ盛り上がってきましたね！
大人が趣味を本気でやると仕事になる、っていう具体例ですね。いい顔してるなー！！
could really use more videos on vinyl toys in Japan or expand on this subject.
Agreed also more on available factories that are willing to work with smaller runs.
Just made our first LIVE vid about it.
Interesting collaboration between these 2 guys. Its nice to see them enjoy what they do for a living instead of being stuck in a dead end job.
thank you for english captions, very cool sufubi
Last year I was at an exhibition of these figures! Very cool!
トイとしてのアイコンから、ポップカルチャーのアイコンへと変化しているんですね。何れは美術的な価値を見出だされる事になるのやも知れませんね。
私もお気に入りのソフビ人形を見付けて部屋に飾りたいと思います。
Wish I had more of an opportunity to speak with Mori back at NYCC a few years ago. He seems like a totally rad guy.
Loved seeing how these toys are painted! Wish they delved deeper into the actual prototyping and vinyl casting... Perhaps for another time, hint hint?
Yeah,I wanted to see the nuts and bolts of the whole process too..
I don't think they took the hint boys
素敵！何かを貫く姿って最も格好いいと思うから。
really great video. i have loved mori's toys for years! awesome behind the scenes look at him and goto working together
the toys that these guys make are really cool i would get one of each simply because each one is unique and the amount of effort put into them pretty much shows the passion they have for making a pretty awesome action figure.
i still love watching this :D
what an awesome pair. hope they find success in their work!
He hit on a very interesting thing regarding toy production. The people that can do all or most of the aspects of toy production in house are going to be way ahead of the game. Specially true today
didnt care for the toys i stayed because of those two wonderful men
ソフビや作家さんに焦点を当ててくださるとは。興味深く拝見しました。
They make a great team, what a good pair. Even though they have a significant age difference, it's clear that they both learn a lot about life through each other.
I'm a toy collector myself and I personally feel that the work they have done are very remarkable. I really love the design and passion they have. The toys look great and I hope someday I can own them.
well i think its better than kaws.
Seeing the toys brought up feelings from my childhood. Thanks for the video.
Please do another one of these videos!
This video is such a vibe
super cool!!
I keep watching this over and over again. I need more.
Didn't learn a lot. But nice to see these two get along well.
将来日本の伝統工芸に数えられる日が来るのだろうか？
Brings back memories from my childhood, this toys still catchers my heart today.
respect for these artists
it makes me cry when i remember what happened to Mr. Goto-san!😢
良い顔してますよね〜
本当好きなことしてる顔ですよね
Love to see people passionate on what they are doing. I hope I can get out on working at mcdonalds.
こんな素敵なところで働きたい。
I want that ghost busters jump suit
mori and goto san are awesome!!!
面白いなぁ。いつもVICE Japan はいい仕事するよ。
That Ghostbusters overall on Mr Mori is really snazzy. 😇😇😇
Great artists and great episode! Keep the good work guys!!!!
おじいちゃんめっちゃ笑顔！やっぱり自分の趣味を仕事にするっていいことですね！(⌒‐⌒)
more videos like this please :)
feeling the passion and pride in their work.
EXCELLENT ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was interesting and enlightening. I recently interviewed up and coming artist, Xelephant and saw his collection. Very impressive and he will be dropping his own custom toy soon.
Goto san! 💕😭 vine a saber mas de el por el canal de rodrigo.
EXCELLENT ..
watching Goto-san paint is like therapy
Great!
to make tomorrow more interesting than today. ..
WoW...Very interesting and very touching the relationship between the two...Awesome designs ...Peace from CANADA :)
Very cool to see that they are all made by hand. That is very rare nowadays. Any toy you can buy at the store in the west is probably made by child labor in a giant factory in China or Southeast Asia.
2:04 I want one of those so bad ! Preferably the pink one... I wish these were available in the US xP
Very nice : )
Goto-san is the man
I love Mr. Goto
いい人間関係だなあ
he got beautiful colours man.
The song choices for this video are beautiful. Damn vice jp.
Good person is down to earth attitude..
Thank you
One thing about Japan is that there is no stigma associated with toys being only for children. As an adult toy collector of godzilla sofubi- transformers- and star wars I run into this kind of judgment all the time. I feel it's healthy to buy something for the kid who grew up too fast. Do it if it makes you happy.
would love a subtitled version. so cool.
I see those Japan Vinyl figures as more Art than Toy.
Like si vienes por el grandioso madhunter Channel
I'm headed East 🙏👌👍🍺
dat ghostbuster outfit ;D cool
いい目されている。
from Japanese Neo Nazis to Awesome toy making. I Love Vice Japan!!!
Madhunter me tiene los wuebos llenos con kaijus y Sofibis
Pero igual veo esos vídeos porque bueno .. se aprende mucho
Goto saaaaaaaaaaan ☺😊
trying to get these from the UK is an absolute myth
balling.. i wish i could get a t-shirt.. i'm really thinkig about buying the spray paintings devices.
I loved this episode :D
Wow, wish Goto San could make me a Gatchman figurine :)
Nuff respect

Todo lo que dice Goto San es cierto

1:56 did anyone see the ultraman leo drawing
夏死ぬほど臭くなりそう
Ya se las sábanas #TodosSomosHunters
i hope they will make ultraman kiju grugio bone heleboros segumeguru figure 6INCHES not the small one 4inches so im hoping they will make thank you
anyone knows the name of the Sofubi at 1.48? I think it's part of the Chaos Warriors serie?
Bootleg Man (blue)?
What is is with Japanese and insect monsters and characters like Kamen Rider and some Godzilla monsters?
like they said in the video, they use already existing characters and make it another concept and look. might be why.
Insects in general (e.g. the Japanese beetle) are prevalent in the country. More so than just pets, they're also used as a medium for a lot of things.
Open an online store with a translated English option, and you will sell more .. Most companies in Japan are not trying to sell more , the restrain their sales to Japan . In a world with access to every products on the planet , Japan is really behind . I've been in a hobby where most of my items comes from Japan , I had to go thru proxi so many times in the last 10 years . If they would have opened their products to the rest of the world , their economy would be way better .
Artificial scarcity keeps the toys expensive. They are so in-demand _because_ they are so hard to get. If Real Head opened up his store online then sure, he would sell more, but he would also have many people asking why he charges so much. His toys are very hard to get.
It’s "Made in China"
