The Godzilla-Making Toy Factory In Japan

Inside Marusan, one of Japan's oldest sofubi toy makers, an 86-year-old painter and a wall of Godzilla figures tell the story of how soft-vinyl kaiju collectibles became a serious global hobby. The film also spends time with the shops and collectors, including women entering a traditionally male scene, keeping the market alive today.
