BUILT DIFFERENT: Japanese Soft Vinyl Toys | HOW they’re made, WHY they’re special

This video is about the world of SOFUBI (soft vinyl toys made in Japan). Soft vinyl toys are “a whole ’nother monster“, in more ways than one, all the way down to how the molds are made. Vinyl pulling is a unique, time-honored, slower-paced process that has produced some of the most pleasant plastic figures on earth.
