Punk, Pierced and Mohawked Japanese Sofubi Cat Cupcake Toys

I’m really feline these new collectible cats by Refreshment. You gotta be kitten me with those little meowhawks! As usual, the Japanese are on point with their cultural reference points. It’s like a purrfect fusion of ’80s troll dolls, Little Miss (many-eyed) No-Name and punk rock cats.

There’s lots of paws abilities to have here, like these clear sofubi cat cupcakes sprayed in a tropical colorway and stuffed with a sunflower charm.

Then there’s these sweet kitties in clear sofubi with heart charms, doll eyes and a little bell. Without these, your life might not have a purr puss!

OF COURSE, I’ve got a musical pairing, and OF COURSE, it’s Takako Minekawa’s “Fantastic Cat.”

Surely, it would be catastrophic to miss out on such greatness, so if these toys strike your (cat) fancy, don’t purrcatstinate, OK?

Lulubell Toy Bodega in Mesa, AZ has the whole catalog of pawsome sofubi up for pre-order right here right meow. Even at $20-$30 for teeny tiny kitty toys, ordering them from within the U.S. is gonna be easier on your wallet than catapulting them over from Japan. (But do virtually visit Japan in the form of these pictures from Kaiju Korner Andy’s trip to Refreshment.)
