alto for #ToyConUK 2014
Chris Dobson AKA alto shares with us his line up for the upcoming April 12th ToyConUK 2014. ll subsequent posted text via Chris himself, so take note and get your spending moneys ready, folks!
"Heavily focused around 3D-printed creations, the Con will play host to the debut showing of the 'Wired' editions of both the Skelevex and Evil Origami sculpts. Standing approx. 4.5" high and 12" high respectively, those missing out on seeing these substantial pieces in person need not worry, for they are available to order from the alto store on Shapeways, right now.
Skelevex 'Wired' is priced at approx. $72, whilst the Evil Origami counterpart can be yours for approx. $93."
"The previously covered Opensource 2 offering will also be on offer and up for grabs, too. Standing at approximately 4" tall and with a platform toy-focussed form, the buyer of the piece gets not only the unique '1 of 1' master sculpt 3D-print, but also the design rights to do whatever they may wish with it. Priced at £100GBP."
"Elsewhere in the Con, alto joins the line up for Fugi.me's debut of their Power5 series. Featuring 5 unique sculpts, each by a different artist, in 5 distinct colours, all with an edition of just 5 pieces, these 1" high blind-bagged resin creations are sure to be a popular choice amongst the ToyCon UK punters. Priced at just £5GBP each and lovingly created by Lisa Rae Hansen, Robotic Industries' Jim Freckingham and Fugi.me's very own Daniel Perry.
A dedicated Skelevex offering will also be on show at the Monsters & Mecha booth, with a vast array of lo-res skull-based offerings."
"Finally, join alto and RunDMB in the unveiling of their 'Project X' collaboration. With an exclusive outing of the initial prototype, this goliath has an arm span of over 12" long and is sure to make a big impression during his time at the event, appearing on the booths of each of the aforementioned partners in crime. A forward-looking form with a nostalgic nod to classic art toys of the past, details of the planned production of this beast will be released to the world, soon..."
