Last year, Playworks2 signed another artist to the clan! Right, when you think you’ve seen it all before, incomes Achubba! A fox who went on to become the arm wrestling champion. We dare you to try to wrestle, Achubba! Look how HENCH Achubba is, HA.
In March 2019, Choudo, a full-time graphics designer, created Achubba, the manifest form of the designer into a shy fox that when filled with hope and inner strength becomes as strong physically as he feels, and then goes on to become a champion. Chou’s hopes that Achubba will remind people of the importance of working out, to stay healthy no matter the age, the gender, the species. Achubba, derived phonetically from Taiwanese, means arm wrestling. Fast forward to the present day Playtoysforever and Playworks2 have called upon artists to take on Choudo’s Achubba and use it as a canvas to give them a special look to them in their signature style! But wait, that’s not all! The event will also have limited Achubbas which also come with a replaceable buff chest and muscular arm piece, three colourways to choose from Valentines, Mafia and Sakura. For the customs, artists include
Jessica Emmett Studios, Kori & Ed, Kottonfactory, Litil JIU, Lumino, Mal`kovskaya Kseniya Art toy, Ngaew Ngaew and Shabon Lee 夏波米.
Kori & Ed
Taiwan Toy Designer Ed, by pouring his emotions into his art, breaths life into creations that resonates strongly among the local toy circle. Heavily influenced by Taiwanese culture, Ed’s intriqute artistic techniques shaped Kori and Hana to represent his dream.
Through Kori, Ed hopes to present to the rest of the world the beauty of Taiwanese craftsmanship.

Litil.JIU
Little Jiu’s signature style of mystical doomsday configuration is the building blocks to her world of creations. Upon this foundation, she cultivates her imaginations to nurture her thoughts and dreams, be it beautiful, silly or even nightmarish. All of this energy channels into her creativity and allows her dreams to come to life.
小啾小鳩擅長藍紫色帶點末世風格的夢幻塗裝，以低調優雅的步調構築一方督促自己創作的地方，無論美夢、惡夢、白日夢，或是生活中天馬行空的想像都好，持續積累各式各樣的創作能量
Shabon Lee
Designer Leon studied jewellery design at OCAD University and established Shabon Lee in 2011 to create designer toys using waste materials and refurbished toys to be recast into precious metal and create designer toys or accessories.
Wanting silver jewellery to not be ordinary but to be something unique, Leon began to experiment using metals on toy and participated in the Taipei Toy Festival for the first time in 2015. The event saw the possibility of toys and presented Mia the Cat in September 2018. Since then, the media we created has become more diverse and we have made good use of our metal craftsmanship to create more possibilities!
Mia the cat is the perfect combination of our metal craftsmanship and designer toys.
夏波米：擅長使用金屬元件來創作設計師公仔，其原始動機是想善用廢棄素材＆年老的玩具拿去鑄造成金屬＆創作出可玩可動的設計師公仔/飾品。
設計師Leon Lee 從加拿大藝術大學OCAD就讀珠寶設計，2011年投入文創的珠寶設計業，並且創立品牌夏波米銀飾。
因為想要銀飾不只是銀飾想要玩一點特別的就開始構思創作可玩可動的玩具公仔，在2015年第一次參加TTF玩具展並且看到玩具的可能性。2018年九月第一款的MIA喵星人誕生，從那之後我們創作的媒材變得更多樣化也善用我們擅長的金屬工藝去創造出更多可能性！
Mia喵星人就是我們金屬工藝跟設計師公仔的完美結合，不會拘泥於單一創作媒材，而是依照目前的主題而去創作更好的造型＆媒材
Lumino
Lumino is better known for 3D modelling and model colouring. Ming, having lived abroad Brazil for a year, helped cultivate his gift with colour schemes while visiting the Amazon jungle; swimming with pink dolphins; singing and dancing with the locals. Ming is more enthusiastic about the exploration and development of new things and embraces change. For him, the clash of conflict is what brings out the beauty which becomes prominent in his designs.
Lumino 擅長3D建模、模型上色，曾旅居巴西一年。拜訪了亞馬遜叢林，與粉紅色的海豚共游，和當地人唱歌跳舞，也因有此經歷，也讓設計師本身對於新事物探索及開發更具熱情不畏懼任何改變，設計風格相當喜愛衝突感強烈的形式，同時也能兼備可愛的設計風格
Mal`kovskaya Kseniya Art toy
Ksenia is a Russian designer of art toys and the founder of Malkovskayaart who is also currently an architect in training. Ksenia’s passion as a toy designer started 6 years ago by creating wooden dolls and over time, the well-loved character Borya appeared.
Ksenia 是 Malkovskayaart的藝術公仔品牌創立者。
居住在俄羅斯的Ksenia除了身為公仔設計師的同時也是位准建築師。
六年前投入創作木頭公仔，手邊經歷不計其數的角色但最令人印象深刻的小兔子在這期間慢慢地成為了她的代表作
就此，Borya誕生
NgaewNgaew
Pang, the creator of NgaewNgaew, loves to draw and make models, especially of animals and monsters. She finds the various forms unique and interesting.
“Ngaew” the rabbit was created as an illustration in 2013 while doodling and then Pang also created 2 more main characters, which are dino “Ngeaw” and wolf “Ngui”. The three characters first appeared as a toy in 2016.
The characteristics are designed to be lively and playful. Pang wants to show the inner fierceness of the cute animals and the inner cuteness of fierce animals to remind everyone to not judge a book by its cover. Thus, In Ngaew’s world, the hunters of our world become the huntees while the huntees become the hunters.
NgaewNgaew 的創立人 Pang 非常的喜歡繪畫塗鴉和製作模型。尤其是動物和怪物，因為它們的形式獨特而且有趣。某天的2013年Pang在塗鴉插畫時突然兔子“Ngaew”形成了。並接續的創作了另外2個主角恐龍“Ngeaw”和狼“Ngui”。這三個角色於 2016 年首次作為玩具出現。每位角色的外貌特徵被設計為活潑俏皮。但主要Pang想展現出可愛的動物內心中的兇猛和兇猛的動物內心中的可愛，想要提醒大家不要以貌取人。 因此，在Ngaew的世界裏，我們世界中的獵人變成了被獵者，而被獵著則變成了獵人
kottonfactory
Kottonfactory is the place where broken toys come alive. They live happily together in Kotton town. One day, Kottonfactory mysteriously stopped to be able to bring toys alive, turning the toys in town inanimate again, all except Robin and her friends who are far away from town.

Kotton工廠是專門附予淘汰玩具生命的地方。這些獲得新生命的玩具很快樂的居住在Kotton城。但某天工廠突然停止營運，讓在城市裡的玩具突然變回了靜止狀態。Robin以及她的朋友因為正好不在城市內並沒有被引響。但為了拯救她們的家開始踏上了全新的旅程想要找到能夠修復工廠的方法。
Jessica Emmett Studios
Jessica is a UK designer toy maker and illustrator, based in Singapore. She has been an artist for over 15 years but her path to toys was not a straight one. She originally studied a BA in Photography and an MA in Media Arts. Jessica tried her hand at photography, film, design, and community art, before realising that her real passion was for fantasy / pop culture and illustration. In 2013 she went illustration full time. She imagined herself to be a webcomic artist, until seeing designer toys at an event. She was so inspired that she decided to try it for herself. It was a perfect fit for her eclectic art background & geek sensibilities so in 2019 she went full time toys and has not looked back! She feels that designer toys is not replacing illustration, but is an extension of it.
Jessica是一位常駐於新加坡的英國玩具設計師和插畫家。 在藝術領域已超過15年而其間的藝術玩具之路並非一帆風順。 她最初獲得了攝影文憑和媒體藝術碩士學位。畢業後的Jessica嘗試攝影、電影、設計和社區藝術後才意識到激發自己熱情的是夢幻及流行文化藝術。 2013年起全職投入了插畫藝術工作。在看到設計師玩具之前也曾想成一名網路漫畫家。是在一次但的活動中接觸到了玩具設計後深受鼓舞，毅然决定嘗試設計玩具並發現這類型創作符合她不拘一格的藝術背景的個性。因此在2019年，她正式轉職成玩具設計師，也沒有後悔過這個選擇！ 她認為設計師玩具並沒有取代插畫，而是插畫的延伸
