密着24時！ソフビ職人 - "Sofubi" Toy Makers

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.

[@SKETCHFLIXGAMES]

Im so happy I made this. It warms my heart to see people still watch it

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

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?

[@blackendwiththeend]

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。

[@CandleFlameFilms]

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.

[@Sketchflix]

Thanks 😉

[@BADASSWAYNE]

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.

[@brazilseanss]

could really use more videos on vinyl toys in Japan or expand on this subject.

[@OscarTorresWork]

Agreed also more on available factories that are willing to work with smaller runs.

[@VIDEOVOMIT]

Just made our first LIVE vid about it.

[@dre3k78]

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.

[@BadmanPictures]

thank you for english captions, very cool sufubi

[@1125sunflower]

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！！

[@hikobon]

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。

[@Muka-Channel]

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。

[@koheis3694]

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！

[@HelloInterloper]

Loved seeing how these toys are painted! Wish they delved deeper into the actual prototyping and vinyl casting... Perhaps for another time, hint hint?

[@zaikoji]

Yeah,I wanted to see the nuts and bolts of the whole process too..

[@purpled4864]

I don't think they took the hint boys

[@YuckTradingCo]

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.

[@Zeno181011]

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.

[@bigpoppa9721]

well i think its better than kaws.

[@hotrod2069ace]

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.

[@Kxxaiii]

didnt care for the toys i stayed because of those two wonderful men

[@わたくし生まれも育ちも]

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。

[@dustybreaks]

really great video. i have loved mori's toys for years! awesome behind the scenes look at him and goto working together

[@ikuraken]

素敵！何かを貫く姿って最も格好いいと思うから。

[@MacSOGAdventureInternational]

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

[@Thephotondust]

what an awesome pair. hope they find success in their work!

[@sherryt6618]

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.

[@HiAdrian]

Seeing the toys brought up feelings from my childhood. Thanks for the video.

[@chnsx7]

I want that ghost busters jump suit

[@じゃいみんの部屋]

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！(⌒‐⌒)

[@g_y.rtz420]

i still love watching this :D

[@jazzyue9766]

Brings back memories from my childhood, this toys still catchers my heart today.

[@aidahoe2946]

Love to see people passionate on what they are doing. I hope I can get out on working at mcdonalds.

[@rubyia312]

respect for these artists

[@kikaiser8373]

将来日本の伝統工芸に数えられる日が来るのだろうか？

[@brazilseanss]

I keep watching this over and over again. I need more.

[@umu8405]

アートな家で暮らしてみたいな〜〜。 ただ片隅で原稿用に鉛筆で文字を書きながら〜〜✨ こんな方もいるんだなぁ✨

[@TediI47]

Didn't learn a lot. But nice to see these two get along well.

[@zukriuchen]

This video is such a vibe

[@tokumei_kibo53]

いい人間関係だなあ

[@野﨑幸助]

こんな素敵なところで働きたい。

[@orinmsh7577]

That Ghostbusters overall on Mr Mori is really snazzy. 😇😇😇

[@no_zeez]

Please do another one of these videos!

[@untitledlabel]

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.

[@theIdlecrane]

to make tomorrow more interesting than today. ..

[@keax]

more videos like this please :) feeling the passion and pride in their work.

[@高橋保弘-q8p]

良い顔してますよね〜 本当好きなことしてる顔ですよね

[@InvokedAlbaz]

it makes me cry when i remember what happened to Mr. Goto-san!😢

[@ZOMb2010]

WoW...Very interesting and very touching the relationship between the two...Awesome designs ...Peace from CANADA :)

[@scythe456]

super cool!!

[@YuckTradingCo]

watching Goto-san paint is like therapy

[@BrettonAlmont]

Like si vienes por el grandioso madhunter Channel

[@Am-yu9nb]

thank you

[@jesusgarcia-cc7od]

EXCELLENT ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@g_y.rtz420]

The song choices for this video are beautiful. Damn vice jp.

[@getter38]

Great artists and great episode! Keep the good work guys!!!!

[@Crustyto3z]

Vice, i wish the subtitles were larger, thumbs up so that they can see this comment please.

[@seiichiito2458]

面白いなぁ。いつもVICE Japan はいい仕事するよ。

[@crystalc1ear]

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.

[@aqmalamqa]

mori and goto san are awesome!!!

[@SamShadow93]

2:04 I want one of those so bad ! Preferably the pink one... I wish these were available in the US xP

[@momokadawi8955]

EXCELLENT ..

[@atomicv8]

would love a subtitled version. so cool.

[@maalicia2859]

Goto san! 💕😭 vine a saber mas de el por el canal de rodrigo.

[@filipechannel]

he got beautiful colours man.

[@LyssLiLi]

from Japanese Neo Nazis to Awesome toy making. I Love Vice Japan!!!

[@tomwaller2111]

trying to get these from the UK is an absolute myth

[@M3LTUP]

I see those Japan Vinyl figures as more Art than Toy.

[@gregorywongsg]

Wow, wish Goto San could make me a Gatchman figurine :)

[@egghead2048]

dat ghostbuster outfit ;D cool

[@haji0502]

いい目されている。

[@filipechannel]

balling.. i wish i could get a t-shirt.. i'm really thinkig about buying the spray paintings devices.

[@technochow]

Good person is down to earth attitude..

[@InvaderSqwid]

I love Mr. Goto

[@pmpunk-ei3mw]

Great!

[@PunkIsNotDead]

I loved this episode :D

[@NS-lz6jh]

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.

[@dddd181818]

Very nice : )

[@soracah2032]

佐田さんから来た人( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ！！

[@pedagogiadacultura4699]

muito bom, adorei, excelente!

[@alonsocesenaosuna1522]

what an interesting short but more interesting is how people work together and have a connection for a purpose . please source for music.

[@Tanerion]

Goto stole the show.

[@nirvanawar999]

los artistas dominaran el mundo!

[@IW4TCH]

[@JC0398x_o]

Omg I see Kamen Rider 😍

[@yairbtz4930]

Todo lo que dice Goto San es cierto

[@AxlHeisenberg]

anyone knows the name of the Sofubi at 1.48? I think it's part of the Chaos Warriors serie?

[@AxlHeisenberg]

Bootleg Man (blue)?

[@reminacult]

Goto saaaaaaaaaaan ☺😊

[@Gatorojo863]

Lo más chingon del puto mundo pura cajeta Artezania Japonesa ありがとう先生 Goto San

[@norikomatuishi448]

え？一つずつ手塗りなの？

[@pedrobarbosa6199]

あのオッさんの優しさ、すごいですね。

[@tflover1221]

What is is with Japanese and insect monsters and characters like Kamen Rider and some Godzilla monsters?

[@snaxxizz]

like they said in the video, they use already existing characters and make it another concept and look. might be why.

[@makkein]

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.

[@charlescharales]
