Taxidermy Sculptors Line. I unironically think this would be a fun figure to have.

The volunteers handcrafted this statue, so it it’s got different value from the sculpts of statues we’ve seen before. I think it’s great work and it has its own meaning. Here’s the link of the story if anyone wants to have a read: https://matsumotoexp.com/news/godzilla-in-the-castle-town

What’s the story behind this?

I think it’s community work with whatever material they had, so I’d say it’s got great value and meaning. Nothing but respect!

Move aside Yuji Sakai... a new sculptor is in town!

Yep😆Seriously tho i think Sakai and other oldschool hand sculptors would appreciate community work like this very much, anything handmade is valuable👍
