Tonneran (トンネラン)

Elegab is the creative alias of Japanese artist Naritada Shintani, renowned for his distinctive contributions to the sofubi (soft vinyl) art toy scene. His work is characterized by imaginative and often whimsical kaiju (monster) designs that pay homage to traditional Japanese monster culture while incorporating unique, contemporary elements. Elegab’s limited-edition releases are highly sought after by collectors, often distributed through lotteries due to their popularity. His figures are available through select retailers and platforms specializing in designer toys, such as Toy Art Gallery. Toy Art Gallery is proud to present “CREATURE FEATURE” featuring the work of Mutant Vinyl Hardcore, Elegab, Splurrt, Kenth Toy Works and Munktiki! This show brings together some of the best and brightest of the neo-sofubi and Kaiju toy scene from around the globe. Bright colors, crazy textures, and gruesome details are rendered over soft vinyl, resin, and porcelain.
