Seen@STGCC2018: WEE Toys Gallery
(Above: STGCC crowd gathering for Lottery Sales)
And while WEE Toys Gallery might be relatively "new" toy-maker to the scene, their unique focus at this time is on Thai-designers' creations made in vinyl (Thailand's current trend is heavily on resin-made collectibles), alongside a push for unique collaborations as well with overseas designers - some of whom were on display at their STGCC booth.
I've also had a chance to speak briefly to brothers and co-founders of WEE Toys; Bundit Weesuwan (AKA @ballroontoys) and Jessada Weesuwan - creators of their own toys "RAY Dragon Boy" and "LEON" respectively!
Scroll thru to see images (mine & others) since updated here as well. Stay connected to their Instagram @weetoysgallery and Facebook for further updates! And stake out their online shop for any goodies you'll like to add to your collections :)
TOP SHELF (left-to-right)
Freddy Collaboration x Thailand Street Artist (Vinyl) @warhead_day & @benzillabkk - limited to only 5 pcs, alongside the OG (Freddy) SWAT DOG(s) from Million Dollar Toys.
COCONE by @toonpawit - with this Pastel Rainbow colorway released booth at STGCC and BTS 2018 during the same weekend. I could not NOT snag this! Alas I couldn't afford the OG-Red colorway which was also available at the booth (bagged but not displayed standing, at the bottom shelf).
BOBI (Orchid Version) by @si_am_ruf is a swell homage (if it is, anyways) to the purple hued Vanda "Miss Joaquim" orchid = The National Flower of Singapore! This would be the second of two figures I'd managed to snag from WEE Toys at STGCC :)
This particular piece was as well released at BTS the same weekend.
