#TTF2018 Online Field Report (Day 2/4)
And while I am physically NOT at this year's Taipei Toy Festival 2018 (October 18-21), I'd attempt to do a semblance of a "online field report" of the annual event - based off of my social media feeds (*Folks interested to share your goodies are to tag me #toysrevil, thanks) ... ONWARDS!
Japan's character designer @deharayukinori with his Satoshi Spongebob, to be available via the Unbox Industries Booth A73-74 (long with two other Spongebob collabo-crossover toys; Rato Kim's Songebob Box Cat(s) and Ryan Lee's Rumbbell Spongebob). Dehara is as well in attendance and being hosted at Paradise Toys Booth A20-A21.
Yoyo Yeung's RABY LUMISOFVI (first featured HERE) is available at LUMISOFVI Booth A35 for NT$1,900 each, along with a splendid spread of character cars, which you can see on @thelumicar ... too adorable to resist OMG
Kenny Wong's DEVIL MOLLY (made by Unbox Industries) in-hand of TV host Mickey Huang (whom himself is a staunch collector of designer toys, and actually even designed a Trexi). Look for the item at both Kennyswork Booth A70-A71.
I am ALSO down to see items "in-hand" (in addition to "on display"), because (A) I want to see the SIZE of the item, and (2) I want to live vicariously thru the images, as if I had them in MY own hands, as well! Sad I know, but.... LOL
Randomly found this delightful character with a head of bananas belonging to @narmwha on display at Toysoul Booth A25. You might also want to check in with their Facebook for deets of this Thailand-designed and made collectible - I will be! :)
And while both the Pink Glitter Ice Cream Dino and Eyeball Dino has since been Sold Out at @ziqi_wu's Booth A88, do not that his collaborative Dino with South Korea's Rato Kim "HALLOWEEN EYE EDITION" will be made available for online sales this October 20th at store.unboxindustries.info (US$70 each / Quantity unknown). ZiQi also mentioned that Mononoke Dino (Collabo with Japan's @yasu.ebinekoya) will be available only Saturday (due to shipping issues).
INSTINCTOY's MINI ICE MOLLY had been detained by customs and unable to be sold on Day 1 of TTF, but has since been received and will be made available to the 50 folks who had gotten exchange tickets, at TTF on Day 2. Look to be more than "50pcs" to be had, methinks! But stay sharp, just in case... :p
You might want to find out more on his IG @instinctoy_hiroto_ohkubo. Check out what other goodies INSTINCTOY has for TTF here!
@kasinglung's "XSML" collaboration LABUBU design with @stickymonsterlab now on display and sale at the Sticky Monster Lab Booth A01 (Apparently Sold Out?) and How2work Booth A27-28 (Status unknown) ... ooohhhh I'd very much like to have this tho....
Shon's "SPACE DREAM" in-hand (thanks to @kasinglung) and available at The Little Hut Booth A19, and is a delightful astronaut kitty I have been gawking at ever since featuring it on the blog OMG ... perhaps updates on @shonside for post-event availability? Meanwhile, here are other SHON character toys to be had;
The ROLLY COASTERS™️ PLAY SET is a new release from @milkboytoys (as sculpted by @kenthtoyworks) to be made available at Booth A55 on Day 2 of TTF! Limited 50 sets each, priced at NT$1900 per set. If you purchase both sets, you will get “CarolAnne” for a prize. Also note that this item(s) is apparently not for "Lottery Sales".
The IG slideshow featured below shows the following character figures:
(1) Bugs Rush & Mr.Wise BLANK SET.
(2) Lunar9000 & Dr.Neil BLANK SET.
(3) Jointable coaster features.
(4) Secret prize "CarrolAnne."
Enjoy Your TTF, folks!
