Featuring Hiroshi Yoshii’s Magnificent Creature Collection


We are very excited to welcome the marvelous creations of Hiroshi Yoshii to Cubify.com. Yoshii is one of the most acclaimed digital artists in Japan and has created over 1,000 3D characters as private works. His designs often sell out faster than he can produce them! That is where the efficiency of 3D printing comes in. 3D printing each unique character allows Yoshii to keep up with the growing demand for his lovable characters while maintaining the outstanding quality his fans are use to. The figures you see here on Cubify were hand-picked from this selection of 1,000 characters to create a collection 3D printed figures. The lineup on our website will continue to grow on a regular basis.


“My characters are created by a harmonious combination of beauty, ludicrousness, and humor,” says Tokyo-based character designer Hiroshi Yoshii. Since 1999, he has created an original creature almost every single day. Yoshii calls his project TDW for “The Daily Work,” and in addition to being quite an adorable triumph, it’s also a thriving example of the artist’s need to make real all of the wonderful ideas in his head.


“I have a few thousand ideas stocked up in my head. When I am doing my sketching the characters seem to call out to me, ‘Make ME! ‘Make ME!’ So when that happens, I put them in to my list of pieces to make next.”


Through a laborious process, Yoshii also creates limited edition art toys by hand, which routinely sell out at shops in Japan and the USA. He is excited to work with Cubify in a collaboration that can bring his wonderful creatures to the masses and you at home. Buy your very own Hiroshi Yoshii character here.
