EnergyToy: Costa Rica y México en vinil, alma y corazón | Ep1 T2

🔥 Artefacto Season 2 is here! And we're kicking things off with a bang. Anita and Lobito from Energy Toy present their Mexafubi debut with two pieces that go far beyond just toys: Hibakusha and Kleiner Führer, figures brimming with history, alternate universes, and an energy you can feel the moment you hold them. In this episode, you'll meet the mind behind the project: a Costa Rican artist who left tattooing and social security to create his own sofubis, found love in Mexico, and chose Mexafubi as a way of thanking the country that welcomed him. 🎨 You'll also meet Anita, an artist from the Mexico City Wax Museum, who brings these pieces to life with an organic and stunning paint job that takes sculpture to another level. All produced by Colectivo Tentáculo. 🛒 Find them on Instagram: @energytoy1984 📌 Episodes: 0:00 – Welcome and introduction of Energy Toy 0:40 – Hibakusha the sculpture and its origin 1:03 – From tattoo artist to ArtToy creator 5:06 – The story of Hibakusha, alternate universe, and World War II 10:31 – Anita's painting: from museum to vinyl 14:22 – Kleiner Führer: the little leader of the year 3667 20:07 – Versatility of the character and its colorways 24:30 – Reception and sales 26:49 – Why the Mexafubi?
