Stitch Experiment 626
Stitch was here in the Philippines!
A collaboration between Disney and leading toy collectible company MINDstyle brings a unique product to life.
The partnership resulted in a line of customized vinyl figures patterned after the fictional alien character from Disney’s “Lilo and Stitch” series.
This Stitch Experiment 626 project features custom art toys now on an international tour. In this initiative, the uniquely cute alien gets to have different looks as renowned artists are empowered to reinvent and create their own rendition of Disney’s most mischievous character. The ongoing tour has already been to Hong Kong, Orlando and Manila. Next in line for the tour as destination will be Taipei.
Too bad the toys didn’t really get to have their own day via the MINDstyle launch that was supposed to happen before the Manila Toy Convention. Sadly, that event is currently postponed and is still to be rescheduled.
Fortunately though, MINDstyle still had a part during the recently concluded Manila ToyCon 2009 where they launched and displayed their Stitch toy series . I wasn’t able to photograph any of the main activities. But I still did manage to get a few snaps of the customized Stitch that were on display during the convention.
I recognized one of the toys on display (black ninja Stitch) as one that Gaby dela Merced designed herself. 
I am not aware who designed the other figures but the collection was very diverse. From the absurdly funny to weirdly cuddlesome, all were uniquely artistic.
