Tarlin International Co., Ltd. took over the capsule toy division of Japanese toy brand EPOCH (エポック) in July of this year. In addition to rolling out numerous new product lines, Tarlin's SUKI LAB (数奇ラボ) is set to release the highly anticipated third installment of its popular Hankotsu Salon series (ハンコツサロン): the "World Sculptures" capsule toy collection. This new series will reveal the never-before-seen internal structures of world-famous statues! Collectors can expect these to hit gashapon machines in November 2021.
After the first series dissected famous Japanese folk art and the second series transformed food ingredients into bizarre creatures, the third Hankotsu Salon installment sets its sights on globally renowned sculptures. These unique capsule toys reveal bio-mimetic internal skeletal structures through a fascinating half-cut display! The lineup features four distinct figures: the Half-Skeleton The Thinker, Half-Skeleton Manneken Pis, Half-Skeleton Sphinx, and Easter Island's Half-Skeleton Moai Statue. Each figure measures approximately 5 to 6 cm, with designers unleashing their creativity to craft special skeletal anatomies that are both peculiar and ingeniously conceived, all while respecting the original external forms.
