最近購入したフィギュアの中、一番気に入ってるのは、今人気を集めてる日本人アーティストT9G（タクジ）がデザインしたMOG（モグ）。モグはヒップホップ好きなうさぎ/モグラみたいな奴。ちっちゃいけど形の良いフィギュア� と思う。実は、モグを手に入れた時に、そのサイズに少し驚いたが、時間が経つとアイツの魅力を分かって来た。うまく考えられた形に、T9Gの作品の特徴を発揮させるフィギュア。その特徴的なス� ーズなスカルプティング、大げさな手や人形の目を使用すること。それにリアルな人形の目は、モグの様なシンプルなフィギュアにはミスマッチなはずなん� けど、実に不思議でいい雰囲気。

最初、T9Gは1個限りの作品・原型を作ることで名声を得た。しかし最近は、限定フィギュアを本人のMuseumラベルで販売するようになった。このフィギュアは、玩具会社Wonderwall（日本人アーティストToumaの名作ナックルベア等を出して来た）が生産している。

Out of my recent toy purchases my favourite has to be a little fellow called “Mog” designed by the Japanese artist T9G (Takuji). A kind of pink hip-hop mole/rabbit fellow, Mog is simple in design yet perfectly formed. When I received him I was actually surprised by just how small he was but over time I have come to appreciate his charms. The sculpt and execution is excellent and he displays the key features of T9G’s designs - smooth sculpting, exaggeratedly large hands and his signature use of real doll eyes. The doll eyes should be completely out of place on a simple figure like this but end up creating a whole different feel from similar toys.

T9G first established his name as a master figure sculptor and has created many one-off works. Recently he has also produced a limited number of commercially available figures in very limited runs under his Museum label. These figures were released through toy company Wonderwall, who have been responsible for classic toys such as Touma’s Knuckle bear, of which I am also a great fan.

今年後半にT9Gはフィギュアをリリースする予定でワクワクしている。有名なデザインチー� Devil Robotsとのコラボで、T9Gが考え直したEvirobフィギュアとなる。宣伝の写真を見たん� けど、スカルプティングは相変わらず凄くて、Evirobの基本形を守りながら、T9Gの発想力をいかしたフィギュアになると思う。今回は無敵玩具会社Medicom（メディコ� ）の商品。詳細についてはこちらをクリック。

T9G has a very exciting release scheduled for later this year. He will be collaborating with the famous design team Devil Robots, with a reinterpretation of their Evirob figures. The sculpt looks amazing, showcasing T9G’s creature design skills while keeping true to the original Evirob form. The figure will be produced by the almighty Medicom toys and more details on this figure can be found by clicking here.
