HIRO
THE SAVIOUR OF YOMIKAWA
The year was 3040 in an apocalyptic Japan when the Emperor and Shoguns were re-established. There was a ruthless Feudal Lord who only had one child who would inherit all his title and fame but was cursed by a sorcerer to change into a mechanical wooden toy if the seven obstacles were not met. These seven responsibilities were handed upon HIRO as a punishment for his father, and they act as both a challenge to establish his worth to the kingdom and a curse that he must overcome before his time runs out. HIRO sets out with a motley crew of young and wild individuals to complete each job before he turns into firewood and the Kingdom of Yomikawa is destroyed.
Here are some behind-the-scenes images from the development of HIRO, one of our big projects and a new chapter in our growing list of original characters, watch this space for the launch and Pre-Order details soon!

Graduated with a degree in Fine Arts with a major in Industrial Design, found himself in the world of Mad Men after college. After spending almost a decade and a half creating works for clients that would make even the legendary Don Draper jealous, Wetworks decided to pursue his passion for toy design beginning with one-off customs and commissioned pieces. He hasn't looked back since.
