Cris Rose: Q&A + Seen @ ToyConUK 2013
And while Cris Rose releases his latest ARBOROBOTS collaboration with Pep Hiller on his online shop at crisrose.bigcartel.com - along with his ToyConUK goodies - you can read his experiences at said Con and peeks at his table!
TOYSREVIL: How was ToyConUK for you? Your impressions? Was it what you expected it to be?
CRIS ROSE: ToyCon was a very friendly event indeed, lots of enthusiasm, everyone was very busy indeed and put on a good show of work. It certainly took a lot of time in the run up, for myself and most i spoke to, but those attending seemed to appreciate it. It was what i expected it to be, but as it was the first yeah, i had quite realistic expectations. It was lovely to meet fans, and new collectors alike, and of course, those awesome artists i hadn't already been able to meet.
TOYSREVIL: Tell us what you had on your table! And which of your items had the warmest reception / best response?
CRIS ROSE: I had over 70 bots on my store, plenty of sprogs, custom androids, PTV dioramas, a couple of custom teeters, but i mainly focused on my original bots. A lot of interest was paid to the Arborobots (with Pepe) in particular, sales wise, nothing really performed exceptionally better than any other, it was quite evenly favoured, which is nice.
TOYSREVIL: Any suggestions to make the event even more awesome in the future?
CRIS ROSE: Anything I'd suggest for next year, is already being taken into account by the organisers :) So instead i'll suggest to those attending 2014 - bring more money!! That would make it awesomer for everyone indeed ;)
