The logo for Kamenoko Tawashi is also displayed prominently on the figure’s chest and features a picture of a turtle (kame in Japanese) and the brand’s name written in both kanji and hiragana. Although the figure is mainly yellow, red is used on the head, arms, and legs to give it a wonderful sense of balance.

The design of the figure is heavily inspired by the packaging that the brush comes in, which uses an appealing combination of red and yellow. This figure produced for Medicom Toy’s line was created to celebrate 110 years of Kamenoko Tawashi, the cleaning brush that has been a must-have for Japanese households since 1907.

Although the figure was originally only released as a 100% figure in July 2017, a larger 400% version of the figure would be released later that year in November. The first announcement of this collaboration came through Medicom Toy’s official website, which also mentions that the figure was made to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Kamenoko Tawashi’s success. To date, there has only been one unique design created through this collaboration. The collaboration between the century-old brush brand and Medicom Toy’s line of figures began in July 2017 with the release of the Kamenoko Tawashi 100% figure.

Although some may find it a bit strange, the brand is so popular with customers that Medicom eventually reached out to the company to form a collaboration. Kamenoko Tawashi is a well-renowned Japanese brand of cleaning brushes and other cleaning products.
