Monstertrol figure collection

The monster encyclopedia "Monstroll," created by the unit of Masayoshi Hanawa (illustrations) and Shin Fujii (text), has had such a profound impact on the publishing industry that it sent shockwaves through the industry.
From the 175 monsters divided into 12 tribes included in the collection, three monsters—Darakusakum, Ototobubure, and Utsurome Apartment Building A—have been made into figures in two color variations each: monochrome, which reproduces the original monochrome design, and neon colors.

In order to reproduce the intricately depicted patterns from the original work, every detail was meticulously pursued.
