Product Description

- Once upon a time, there was an old man and an old woman. One day, the old man went to the mountains to cut firewood, and the old woman went to the river to do the laundry. (From Momotaro, Volume 1 of Japanese Folk Tales, by Iwaya Konami)

- From the well-known Japanese folk tale "Momotaro," we have made soft vinyl figures of the dog, monkey, and pheasant who accompany Momotaro, who was born from a peach. These brave animals are clad in armor as they set off to defeat the demons.

- Maruan Shokai, which planned and produced this toy, is a toy manufacturer that operates a soft vinyl factory in Tokyo. The design of this soft vinyl is packed with a lot of know-how that only a manufacturer can offer. By focusing on the shape while creating specifications that are logical for manufacturing, they have achieved reasonable mass production.

- While admiring the intricate mold reproduced by electroforming, you can move the joints assembled by inlay to decide on a pose, and compare the difference between the painted parts and the molded color, allowing you to experience the quality and meaning of soft vinyl.

- The soft vinyl processing, which is the core of our product manufacturing, is carried out at Maruan Shokai's factory in Katsushika-ku, Tokyo. Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, has long been known as a toy town and is said to be the birthplace of Tokyo's soft vinyl industry. Furthermore, everything from the production of the prototype, molds, and painted masks to the production of the raw material plastisol and the final product is all done domestically.

- Needless to say, soft vinyl is not something fancy.
- Be sure to try out Maruan Shokai's soft vinyl figures, which are made with the aim of looking like cheap toys.

*Soft vinyl may have some air bubbles or fine dust on the surface of the product, but this cannot be completely removed due to the nature of the manufacturing process. Maruan Shokai works carefully to prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon, and also carries out inspections to prevent contamination of products that significantly impair the specifications. Therefore, please note that we cannot accept any claims due to air bubbles or fine dust.
*The photo is a mass-produced sample. There are individual differences in the color finish of the actual product. Except for obvious defects such as completely different colors in the painted parts, we believe that individual differences in the painted finish, including scratches, overspray, color blur, uneven paint, and peeling paint, are within the acceptable standards for mass-produced soft vinyl products. Therefore, we do not accept returns or exchanges due to subjective coloring or differences from the photo. Please be aware of this in advance.
*The package is not the product but the packaging material. Scratches, creases, warping, etc. may occur during transportation or opening, but these are normal wear and tear and cannot be exchanged.
