Some of which are JeAA, Nico Deacosta, Sigmund Torre, Quiccs, Anjo Bolarda, Nemo, and awesome members of Ang InK and Pilipinas Street Plan.

Robtars (robot tarsiers) is an independently-produced designer resin figure by JomikeTejido, an architect and artist. This urban art toy is based on the tarsier, a threatened species of tiny primates found in the Philippines and represents love for the environment thru urban art. The figure is a 6-inch resin sculpture with a hidden storage pod in its head and includes a collector’s card. Jomike Tejido’s creation was inspired by his trip to Tokyo in 2007 and aims to let Robotars hop all over the globe.
The exhibit is also the official launch of the 100 limited edition blindboxes of handpainted Robotars figures. Among these, 12 chase figures were made by Filipino graphic artists, street artists, illustrators and painters such as Jason Moss, Electrolychee, Weewilldoodle, Mark Salvatus, Dex Fernandez, Zeus Bascon and many more.
