Sammy x Vinyles Chiles “Flamin’ Chile” — Celebrating 10 Years of Sammy! Man… talk about a throwback. Back in 2015, I featured Sammy right HERE on SpankyStokes in the post “What Lies Under His Spiked Leather Mask?” and now, ten years later, Sammy is back with a milestone collaboration that celebrates a full decade of the character’s evolution.

Hell Yeah! JTSTUDIO and Chief Helmet take GAKI RACE from the track to your shelf with new figures! “HELL YEAH! This isn’t just a collectible… it’s a race that drives straight into reality.” On the track, speed is the only language… on the streets, style is your attitude. JTSTUDIO is flooring the gas with GAKI RACE, its original IP built around underground racing culture, high-octane styling, and that gritty garage energy — and now it’s teaming up with Chief Helmet, Taiwan’s premier vintage helmet brand, for a full-throttle crossover that hits both lifestyle and art toy collecting at once. This collaboration isn’t just figure design inspired by helmets… the helmet itself is part of the release. JTSTUDIO and Chief Helmet have created the Chief x Gaki Race “HELL YEAH!!” helmet featuring real-deal vintage racing aesthetics, custom graphics, and collectible wearable design. This is the kind of piece that blurs the line between display sculpture and usable gear.

Utomaru x Tomenosuke - "MIMI The Cannibal Girl" SUPER DUOTONE Edition! What's this... another version of the very polarizing Mimi The Cannibal Girl sofubi from Tomenosuke which has been produced in 15 different editions, yup, and this one... it's the fourth release of this figure in three years!!! Dubbed the 'Super Duotone' edition, created by Utomaru, this micro run features the Duotone color for sofvi (there are five colors in total) which is a special paint that only goes on top of black. So, for the latest Mimi, the base body cast out of black sofvi is first painted over with a green Duotone. Next, the base coat for the "hair," "eyes," and "blood dripping from the mouth," which Tomenosuke wanted to paint in different Duotone colors, is overpainted with black using a spray mask.
