NanoTEQ Evolved: Nutbuster by QUICCS x Devil Toys
We love conventions, for the exclusives of course, but also for the reveals. So we’re amped about the NanoTEQ Nutbuster proto from QUICCS x Devil Toys on display at Taipei Toy Festival.
The 6” soft vinyl mech features a compact, powerful sculpt with a three-point design for stability (and nifty back and side views). And yes, the NanoTEQ 63 pops right into the cockpit for plenty of playability. Expect this one in early 2019. We’re looking forward to seeing painted samples and colorway designs. Hit the jump for more drool worthy angles.

Louis De Guzman x BettermeART – Elevate at TTF
As part of its TTF gallery, BettermeART is showing its new Elevate sculpture from Chicago artist Louis de Guzman. The piece showcases the artist’s deconstructed shreds/ribbon style with bits of Bart flying off the reckless Simpson as he’s apparently headed for a spill.
The dynamic sculpt captures Bart mid-flight with layers of detail that play to the strengths of the 3D medium. Hit the jump for a closer look at the sculpt from several angles.

RastaMoon’s Impeccably Dressed Uomini for TTF
Korean artist RastaMoon is set to debut his swanky Uomini resin figures at Taipei Toy Festival (10.18 – 10.21). The figures celebrate traditional men’s fashion set against a tailor-style backdrop/concept. Each figure is meticulously assembled from individually cast components in order to create the impeccable style and detail.
We’re looking forward to learning more about the fashion-forward figures with a clever name. Uomini is both a play on uomo (‘man’ in Italian) and mini which is a nod to the toy aspect as well as a word in its own right (‘men’),

Jaime & Mimi: The Milk Deliverer Debuts at TTF 2018
HK artist Yokooong has taken her Jaime & Mimi toys and switched things up. The original soft vinyl toys feature Jaime and his small dog Mini. With the new Milk Deliverer figure, the focus is Mimi (4.65”) and her adventures as a delivery dog. Mimi is fully-realized with articulated head and hands as well as fun set of accesories including messenger bag, milk bottle, newspapers, and perhaps the best of all: a Jaime doll. Talk about trading places – fun! The accessory becomes the star and vice versa! Too bad they didn’t change it to ‘Mimi and Jaime’ :)
Jaime & Mimi: The Milk Deliverer debuts at the Taipei Toy Festival (10.18 – 10.21) from Toy0+ [Booth A13].
