Giant Sof'Boy figurine by Presspop

Sof' Boy is a wonderful but extremely infrequently-published comic book by musician and artist Archer Prewitt. I love this comic about a homeless, naive dough boy who happily lives in a crime- and filth-ridden urban neighborhood, surviving attacks by man and beast because he is made out of some kind of indestructible, infinitely elastic rubber.

Presspop in Japan has just announced the release of a 24" tall (life size?) Sof' Boy figurine.

HEE HAW YIP YIP! After 2 years of designing, and re-designing, and testing, and re-designing, and with Archer finishing the Sea and Cake tour (more time to design), Sof'Boy has finally come to life! Because we can not predict for how many figures, the mold will be able to hold (in the case of Giant Pupshaw, it was for only around 100 pieces), we will divide the release into several parts. The first release is for 70 figures only. We think at most, we will be able to produce around 200 pieces but this is all up to the mold! So in order not to cause trouble to our customers, we will release the dolls as they are produced. As soon as the mold is broken, the production is finished. So if you wish to have Sof'Boy at your home, we suggest you place an order early. We will take orders on a first come first serve basis.
