Woodlouse: Armadillidium Vulgare. This item is a posable action figure / Toy.

Kaiyodo adds a popular backyard creepy crawly to their collection of Sofubi (soft vinyl toys) action figures! This friendly plastic woodlouse, often referred to as a pill-bug or roly-poly, has two points of articulation (in its left and right antenna), and measures about 15cm tall.

A lot of it’s chalked up to manufacturing costs- funko pops can be made on similar bases and are made en masse, whereas a lot of kaiju toys are hand painted and done in itty bitty batches (or done as one-offs). For a lot of them it’s not the materials, it’s the expertise and skill in painting them. 

That said, Medicom’s vinyl artist gacha series is GREAT for getting a couple of cutie sofubi pieces for cheap. It’s a good way to get some of the really cute platforms without dropping the big bucks for ‘em. The Rangeron platform’s one of my favorites, and you can usually find VAG minis for less than ten bucks. Rotofugi, my fave place to buy vinyl from, has them for 7.95; I know that myplasticheart carries them, too. 

I love looking at vinyl toys and especially kaiju toys but the prices of them are ridiculous. I used to want to design them some day butI wouldn’t want something I made to be that inaccessible. There’s almost no reason for it either, their materials don’t need to cost anything more than those dang Funko Pops or anything. It’s like they’re just arbitrarily limited and high priced to make them seem more desirable to a core fan base with exceptional amounts of disposable income, like Warhammer miniatures.

It's a super crappy shot of him, but this is my favorite thing about Liklik. Every time I start playing the piano, he comes out to investigate. I wonder what his favorite song is.

The hat I got my gecko fits K2-S0 perfectly.
