Twitter user Taku Morino's anime mash-up figurine is inspired by two of Japan's most famous manga franchises, Yo-Kai Watch and Gundam. For his unique figurine, the fan marries a cat spirit from Yo-Kai Watch with Gundam's giant robots to create this dream toy.
Taku Morino's unique creation was conceived by grafting the head of a Yo-Kai Watch cat onto the body of an RX-78 Gundam robot. The result is spectacular and is set to appeal to anime lovers and toy collectors across the globe.
Focusing on proportion, Taku gives Gundam's RX-78 robot a plumper and more compact body that is more compatible with its Yo-Kao Watch fragment. The toy even comes complete with a saber sword and a book accessory that changes its facial expressions from angry to pleasant.
