What a cool overview of a sofubi shop! I love how it's evolved into a business for adults but the shop still has that previous generations vibe to it.

Corey does an incredible job keeping up with the amount of vinyl he's able to crank out. Can't wait to see how my toys turn out :)

Cory is like the bob ross of pizza making

This was awesome to see the process. I recently did an interview with up and coming artist Xelephant. He will be dropping his own Sofubi soon.
