Hey Toy Fans! Tomorrow, November 5th, marks the grand opening of the "Booth A33" event, a collaborative showcase by Paradise featuring numerous artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan! As is our tradition, the Toy Expedition Team has once again snuck into the venue ahead of time to bring you an exclusive first look. Let's dive in!
Booth A33
Event Dates: November 5 – November 7, 2021
Location: Paradise, No. 75, Lane 161, Dunhua South Road Section 1, Taipei City
The "Booth A33" event takes its name from Paradise's original booth number planned for the 18th Taipei Toy Festival (TTF). Although this year's TTF was canceled, Paradise decided to bring the entire planned booth setup directly into their store! This ensures that toy collectors can still experience the thrill of being surrounded by amazing designer toys.
▼ Kicking things off, we have several new works from the art collective The Little Hut, featuring creations by T9G, Shoko Nakazawa, and SHONE SIDE. The striking Mech Rangeas and the vibrant, rainbow-hued Cat Rider truly caught our eye!
▼ Next, let's check out the works from Taiwanese designers. We saw Robin Tang's "Jujube Boy 2.0," Mao Mao Er's "Papa Shark" with its impressive heft and translucent details, Vivian Wang Studio's intricately handcrafted "Troll Bunny," ODOM's limited-color "Tebobo," and Funk Toy's "Sweet Potato Ball." Absolutely fantastic!
▼ Over at the How2work display, you'll find new pieces from artists like Kasing Lung, 009, and Kohei Ogawa.
▼ The substantial Labubu Swaver is irresistibly cute – you just want to touch it!
▼ 009's "Martian" from the "Lost in Space" series finally makes its debut at Booth A33! I've been eagerly anticipating this one!
▼ From every angle, it feels like it's staring right at you!
▼ Baccan's adorable monsters are here with two entries this time! Their slightly mischievous expressions are incredibly playful.
▼ Each piece from Studio Uamou boasts a mesmerizing, psychedelic beauty in its colors!
▼ Paradise's very own mascot makes an appearance! Check out Dehara's "Jones the Nerd"!!!
▼ Konatsuya (Konatsu) not only presents the large-scale "Daioh Negora Bengal Tiger" but also features charming artworks with delicate brushstrokes that are definitely worth collecting.
▼ Hand-painted "Pogola" figures and several mini artworks by DAN.
