ABOUT
This piece captures Toriyama’s animated self-portrait — the hunched, straw-hat-wearing figure he used to insert himself into Dr. Slump — rendered in WCF scale by ZOR Studios and TOR Studio as entry 008 in their ongoing Akira Toriyama tribute series. Built from a PU and resin composite, the sculpt nails the compact, chibi-proportioned silhouette that made the character instantly recognizable across manga covers and omake pages. As an in-stock piece shipping from April 2026, it drops into a shelf without the usual GK wait.
CHARACTER ORIGIN
SCENE NOTESThroughout Dr. Slump, Toriyama inserted his animated self — stooped posture, round dark glasses, conical straw hat, rope-tied jacket — into covers and omake strips as a recurring in-joke about the pressures of weekly serialization. The straw hat look became the most recognizable version of that self-portrait, carrying a mix of self-deprecating humor and genuine warmth that defined how he communicated with readers. ZOR Studios and TOR Studio translate that exact silhouette into three dimensions, leaning into the forward hunch and the oversized hat brim to preserve the visual comedy of the original design at WCF scale — a format that rewards tight, character-defining shapes over elaborate staging.
