Kyoufu no Monster - My Lovely Monster (Unbox Industries)Unbox Industries

Unbox Industries produced this My Lovely Monster figure based on the horror manga Kyoufu no Monster by legendary horror manga artist Hideshi Hino. Standing approximately 220mm tall, this collectible retailed at $95.00 and has since sold out at the manufacturer's store. The story, originally titled 'Terrible Monster' by Hino's publisher because they felt 'Lovely' gave the wrong impression, tells the tale of the relationship between a scientist and his monstrous creation that takes on gargantuan proportions as the adventure unfolds. The character comes from one of the more obscure entries in Hino's universe for western audiences, making this figure a distinctive piece for fans of horror manga. Unbox Industries' collaboration with Hino represents their creative relationship with one of the masters of the horror manga genre. The figure features a classic colourway with a dark wash that brings out the detail in the sculpt. It measures 220mm in height and was produced by Unbox Industries. A sitting edition was also released as an additional variant of the same character.
