Luke Rook is an artist and toy promoter living and working in Tokyo. He has been buying and selling for himself and Lulubell Toy Bodega for over five years now. His commitment to the life and stability of the toy world has driven him to on this new phase in both his and Lulubell's path. This new phase is titled, Grody Shogun.. and its designed to bring you some of the weirdest shit you've ever seen. Luke is committed to bring you these pieces at a below average retail prices, for as long as possible.

Just announced from Lulubell is the first original figure from Grody Shogun クモの巣を食べる妖怪 グランプス (Granpusu the web eater). His name is Ojisan and he is a vain little Yokai (Japanese folk spirit). He's also kinda lazy, so he made a Karakuri (edo era self-automated robots) in his own image. Actually, Ojisan spends more time setting up his Karakuri then if he went out a collected webs himself.

Standing at approx 3.5" (10cm), it has 3 points of articulation. They are cast in Milky white vinyl and covered in Technicolor spray. Retailing for $23 each, they go on pre-sale this Saturday at 12 noon PST at http://www.lulubelltoys.com
