On Saturday, April 23rd, Max Toy Company celebrated its milestone 5th anniversary at Double Punch Gallery in San Francisco, CA. The brainchild and hard work of Mark Nagata, Max Toy Company has spent the past half-decade creating an entire range of original characters inspired by the classic tradition of classic Japanese character toys. The anniversary show features a variety of 2D artwork, created primarily by contemporary Japanese artists, based on Nagata's character design. The work was varied, virtually all of great quality and execution, and affordably priced all around. Check out the photos below from the show:
