Next were the pictures taken from Devilrobots, a design team of five from Japan which led by the art director Shinichiro Katai.

Devilrobots specializes in graphics and character designs and the most popular character of their is To-Fu Oyako as shown in pictures below.

The front left is the To-Fu for Tokidoki.

An adorable 16" Gum To-Fu.

What a colorful wall of Devilrobots creation.

There are some other toys by Devilrobots which I have seen from other booths as shown below.

Next was the comic artist Gary Erskine from UK.

Madcap is a platform devoted to aritstic conception and collectable objsects.

Pictures from the various booths at the hall.

More toys collection..

Well, come to the end of the STCC. Although I have still tons of photos in my collection but would not be possible to show them all here. Anyway, there will be another post of Tokidoki Live Art Demo by Simone Legno, stay tune to my blog.

Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008

Caty — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:44:10 +0000

The first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008(STCC) was here from 27th to 29th June 2008. This was also the first international event of its kind in Southeast Asia to showcase the latest pop-culture trends in design, toys, comics, animation and gaming. I went down there on Saturday afternoon and snapped tons of photos from Tokidoki by Simone Legno and others e.g Devilrobots, Nintendo, BANDAI, Hasbro, Wizards of the Coast, Medicom Toy, Toumart, Madcap and more.

When I reached the entrance of the convention hall, I was first greeted by an Artist Graffiti Wall which was the collaborative artwork by artists which include my all time favorite Simone Legno(Tokidoki), Pete Fowler, Gary Erskine, Mori Chack, Kika and Nada, Devilrobots, Touma and more!
You can read more details about the designers at the Walk of Fame.

So, the first booth that I went to was of course the Tokidoki booth where sales of tee-shirt, necklaces, earings, caps and uchiwa were available.

I bought a bunch of vinly toys to display at my home, ounch, my wallet was “injured”!

Time for Simone’s autograph signing session.

Here was his completed sketch, for me.

Reaching the end of Tokidoki session from my photo album. There was one of the vinyl toy by Tokidoki was seen at Devilrobot’s booth, so will include that in the next section. I will probably put up another post of my vinyl figures collection in a later date.
