Miya-San - the perfect gift for the anime lover and Miyazaki fan

This cute-as-a-button Miya-San "Mentor" figure is an homage to legendary anime writer/director Hayao Miyazaki. Designed by Martin Hsu and produced in resin by Bigshot Toyworks, this 6-inch-tall figure is limited to just 300, with very few left in stock.

Net proceeds from the sale of the Miya-San figures will be donated to Karakuwa-Maru, a community building organization in the town of Karakuwa, Japan. Karakuwa-Maru is involved with rebuilding after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011.
