ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Something fishy is about to go down at Munky King. But don’t worry: it won’t be a smelly affair. It’s a party to celebrate the official release of the very much anticipated Koibito figure by Yoskay Yamamoto.

Being released with be the Gold Koibito in a limited edition of 500, and a special Munky King Exclusive edition of 150, but it’s a secret surprise colorway. But these weren’t the first, a 7” black version was released at last summer’s San Diego Comic Con.

Koibito was based on one of Yamamoto’s paintings – “Once upon a time I had a goldfish named Tuna. But he passed away beause of my laziness and mistreatment…so I painted him for his memory…”

The release party happens on December 11^th from 7-11pm at the Munky King store and gallery on Melrose in LA. Yamamoto will be there live and in person and will be doing a signing, plus he’ll have some very special custom pieces with him. And if you’re smart, you’ll get their early: he’ll be giving a special surprise to a small amount of the first people in line to get their Kobito.
