Featured below is the full press release for your reference, along with additional reveals of the HER TURN customs, adding to the previously revealed works HERE on TOYSREVIL. Have a good show, folks!
PRESS: "Earlier this year, QUICCS in collaboration with Devil Toys unleashed a new era of The BulletpunkTM network with Mariko and her sidekick Necco. QUICCS's work has been awarded many times over within the vinyl art community and is now expanding to new forms. In this custom vinyl exhibition, Mariko, the highly trained swordsman, gun specialist, and only female member of the network will be in focus. The figure will be reinterpreted by Filipino artists in their uniquely identifiable styles in a combination of traditional and non-traditional techniques. Custom is an understatement as each piece confronts a multiverse of Mariko.
This year's custom crew of dominantly Filipino participating artists are: QUICCS, 13 Lucky Monkey, Arman Kendrick, Chkdsk, Creon Chkn, CVTY COLLECTIVE, DBTK, Distort Monsters, Epjey Pacheco, JP Pining, Klaris, Megumi Miura, Obscure Prototype Lab, Pixeldump, RKT KRU, The Steffi, Trip63.
