We will hold the 3rd “Sonny Angel Japan Creator’s Exhibition”, a popular event at which we collaborate with popular domestic designers to create a one-of-a-kind Artist Collection figures.
In this year’s event, 8 Japanese designers will participate creating a total of 14 unique figures.
The theme is “Japanese New Year”.
Gorgeous and congratulatory Sonny Angels are born from the creators’ “magic”. Each is designed by a Japanese artist to celebrate the Japanese New Year.
In 2023 is the “Year of the Rabbit”. All works in this series are based on Sonny Angel’s most popular motif, the rabbit, and all of them are suitable for New Year’s decorations.
We hope you will welcome the new year with precious Sonny Angel, a uniquely Japanese character.
