Plastic alien models inspired by the Kofu Incident, one of Japan's most infamous UFO cases!
On February 23, 1975, at around 6:30 p.m., two elementary school students playing near a vineyard by a Kamicho housing complex in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, witnessed an orange object flying through the sky and later encountered an alien-like creature. The unidentified flying object (UFO) incident gained nationwide fame as one of Japan's three major UFO events due to multiple eyewitness accounts and the discovery of credible physical evidence, including apparent traces of a landing site. Kofu Aliens - Ver.ZO is a plastic model version of an original sculpture created by sculptor Genzo Ihara as a sample for Hobby Japan's H.M.S Fantasy Model World UMA - Unidentified Mysterious Animals - (published February 27, 2024). The original design incorporates unique interpretations of key eyewitness observations, resulting in a distinctive aesthetic that feel retro‑futuristic, nostalgic, eerie, and charmingly quirky all at once.
