TEQ63: Zero1 from Quiccs x Hidden Fortress
More information about the TEQ63: Zero1 I teased only just yesterday - with full figure turnaround pics and a TOYSREVIL-exclusive Q&A with Quiccs! But first, let's start with some product stats:
Size: 3.25" Inches
Material: Resin
Articulation: Moveable Head
WHAT-IS: "TEQ63: Zero1 Is a Do-it-yourself toy designed by Quiccs of the Hidden Fortress. Based on his original toy TEQ63, "Zero1" is a resin toy designed for customizers, sculptors, painters, and future collaborative projects. This first edition features a figure that stands at 3.25", casted in polymer resin with a moveable head part. Price and availability soon as it launches first week of July 2014 via www.hiddenfortressmanila.com and at the International Platform Toys Exhibition @ the Bangkok Comic Con."
TOYSREVIL: With your successes with customs so far, why the DIY figure? Why now?
QUICCS: I built the DIY version for upcoming collaborations with other friend artists and local artists in Manila whom I want to introduce to the toy scene in mind primarily. I envisioned theTEQ63 to have a lot of versions across a lot of collaborations, of which the EGGTEQ is the first with Egg Fiasco. Among the artists that I want to collaborate with, most of them aren't that familiar with sculpting.
TOYSREVIL: Tell us a bit more about the TEQ63: Zero1, and why is it shaped + designed the way it looks now.
QUICCS: The TEQ63 model as it is now, is quite hard to customize and has a limited surface area open for the customizing / painting of others. With the TEQ63 Zero1, I redesigned a new head with a lot of free space in it, open to so many possibilities in many genres when you look at it. I also went with the all plain hoodie with no logos and shoes without details to widen the customizer's options even more.
