“Kaiju (怪獣 kaijū) is a Japanese word that means ‘strange beast,’ but often translated in English as ‘monster’. Specifically, it is used to refer to a genre of tokusatsu entertainment” (Wikipedia)
Above are four of my favourite Kaiju figures from M1go.

In terms of your things, what does your space (studio/office/living area) look like? please describe.
On the verge of chaos. There are many different collections in every room. Our style is pretty eclectic and colourful. We try to keep things organized but it is sometimes hard with so many knick knacks and stuff.
Most of our stuff is on shelves but it still looks a bit disorganized.
Where do you normally get your things?
Our things come from various sources. Many of the toys that we collect come from Japan (though we have never been there!)
We do a lot of our shopping and find a lot of neat handmade toys and goods online.
What is your prize possession/”thing”/collectible/tool?
Ainsley: One of my favorite things is my dollhouse that I helped my dad build when I was small
Chris: Can’t pick one thing. I love my things.
four for the day
