The 3rd Monster Regret toy was recently released on Saturday January 19th at the super chic boutique Loveless which is situated in Aoyama, Tokyo. The figure was designed by the Japanese toy designer T9G and was produced by Medicom Toy. The 3rd Monster Regret figure is quite customizable. It comes with a helmet and a plaid shirt where you can put on or take off at your pleasure. We’re not sure why but we’re in love with this figure.
