This time, we'll be looking at "TOKY's [Tomodachi, First Machine]! The most powerful gardening item ever!" Edition!

I'd like to introduce a unique artist who is active in the World of SOFUBI!

This time, we have a SOFUBI of "TOKY's Tomodachi, First Machinel"! This is a very popular SOFUBI and hard to find!

I like the looks that don't look like SOFUBI at first glance! The balance
between glossy black and matte black in this spiky design is so attractive that
it looks like real ceramics.

Also, TOKY's main business is still active, making pottery! They are making
fashionable "pots" because they want "pots" that further enhance unique
succulents and cacti!

It took these potters nearly a year to create this "Tomodachi, First Machine"!

The pots they sell are also very modern, and they make a lot of very cool pieces. This "Tomodachi, First Machine" is also a very modern and stylish work, combining the traditional design of clay figures with mechanical elements. The fact that it was made by a potter is also a nice touch.

Soft Vinyl made "Tomodachi, First Machine" (Original Black) Shade clay figurine

"Tomodachi, First Machine: Shade clay figurine, Final Battle Weapon, Kurogane(Black iron)"

"Tomodachi, First Machine: Shade clay figurine, Final Battle Weapon, Seidou(Bronze)"

"Kurogane" and "Seidou" are ceramics, not SOFUBI, but I put them together this time.

It's a really cool SOFUBI!

The "Tomodachi, First Machine" is equipped with a powerful beam in its nose to protect against all plant pests and diseases, and to destroy the hated resellers... This seems to be the setting. *Quote from TOKY's website

They've also written a comic book, "Ancient!! Clay Figurine "Paisen"", whose contents are described as emitting a powerful beam to get rid of plant pests.

It's quite a setting, or storyline, and it's fun.

It's true that clay figurine have an image of being guardian gods. They are
humanoid and have a unique presence, so that might make pests flee if they were placed near important plants.

The "Kurogane" and "Seidou" models have nozzles on the back for placing a single flower or incense sticks. It's a neat touch.

So, overall, this item is both an art SOFUBI and a gardening item as a whole!

It's nice to have a stylish vessel (work of art) to decorate, and it's also nice
to have flowers and plants that stand out when displayed.

The "Soft Vinyl made "Tomodachi, First Machine" (Original Black) Shakouki Doguu (shade clay figurine)". "Shakouki-doguu" is a type of clay figurine made in the Jomon period (about 13000 to 2300years ago). Speaking of "Doguu", this is the type! the shape is so famous that it is associated with it.

It seems that the SOFUBI are made in the same sense that potters make pots that match succulents and cacti, so it matches the atmosphere of the pots, plants and greenery very well.

The fact that it is a SOFUBI figure in the shape of a clay figurine is something
new. I was very shocked to see how well they used both molded black and painted black, and how they used both matte and glossy colors in one piece. Also, as a SOFUBI figure, two arms and two legs have been removed for a total of 10 parts. And the best part is that unlike a real clay figurine, it won't break if you drop it. If it were a real figurine, it would be chipped, so I think this is an attractive work that mixes the best parts of SOFUBI and ceramic.

I think that there are many people who actually decorate the house such as
plants, but it is very fashionable even if it is placed next to it!
