Japanese streetwear brand Peace and After, known for collaborations with popular works like "Dragon Ball" and "Chainsaw Man," will partner with Japanese sci-fi military maestro Kow Yokoyama to release three themed soft vinyl toys commemorating the fourth anniversary of the popular gag anime and manga series "Me & Roboco"! This article will first introduce the "S.A.F.S. (Roboco Ver.)," a classic mecha designed by Kow Yokoyama-sensei and reimagined. The suggested retail price is 13,800 JPY, and pre-orders are now open on the Peace and After official website, with an estimated release in December 2024!
Hailing from Japan, Peace and After is a brand centered around street culture, having released numerous items featuring Japanese and American pop culture themes. On social media, celebrities such as Tony Leung, Takayuki Yamada, and Jeremy Lin have been seen wearing the brand's products. It has even launched a collaboration series with Japanese design master Yohji Yamamoto! This time, Peace and After is collaborating with Japanese sci-fi military maestro Kow Yokoyama to design and supervise a series of "Me & Roboco" themed works!
The "Super Armored Fighting Suit (S.A.F.S.)" originates from Kow Yokoyama-sensei's original SF series "Maschinen Krieger" (Ma.K for short), where it serves as powered armor used by the "Earth Independent Government Mercenary Army." This collaborative "S.A.F.S. (Roboco Ver.)" stands approximately 16.5 cm tall, using the basic S.A.F.S. as its foundation. It adds Roboco's twin-tail-shaped rocket boosters to the powered armor and features a paint scheme that recreates the maid outfit's color separation. Is it just an illusion, or do the knee parts of this S.A.F.S. also appear particularly prominent (?). The seemingly absurd atmosphere surprisingly fits perfectly with the tone of "Me & Roboco"! Furthermore, this dream collaboration also includes two other products—"Roboco and Crab Man," which can be displayed alongside the S.A.F.S. (Roboco Ver.)!
