Coming this weekend, is a a new sofubi designed by Doktor A and produced by Lowbrowee Toys! Being a Shiba Inu owner myself and a fan of steampunk “(Sir) Mugi Teaworthy” hit an instant connection.
This Shiba Inu giant doggo robot Mechtorian is the first of its kind to be made in Japanese soft vinyl. Not at all menacing, he is a playful charmer (as the play pose suggests) and a snappy dresser, with his three interchangeable hats – topper, bowler, fez – one for each mood.
With his tail carried high up to reveal a fine behind, he is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches long. This first colorway (grey mint) brings to mind Lady Liberty and pocket George Washington portrait prints but is mostly inspired by the interior design of Fortnum and Mason – his favorite London spot for afternoon tea. He likes cake and scones, by the way, but also crumpets.
Sold in a poly bag with a header card designed by Doktor A, including leaked secret blueprints for Teaworthy and his upgraded internal mechanisms.
This release is the culmination of a 2-year production process by Doktor A and Lowbrowee, with credits to Willy Kao (digital sculpt) and Science Patrol (wax and molds production).
Mugi Teaworthy is the first collectable produced as part of Mugi’s Circle of Art – Lowbrowee Toys’ personal project celebrating his furry buddy, Mugi the Shiba Inu, through artwork by his favourite toy makers and pop-surrealists.
