PLAY SERIOUSLY.
Hey! When was the last time you really had fun playing with toys? Too consumed by daily life or grown-up to remember the joy of play?
Thanks to the emergence of toy designers who have changed the game by bringing creativity to the forefront. Toys have now evolved into a guide to style for adults, embracing playfulness as a valuable trait for both young and old. It’s time to reclaim the joy of play!
This year, PMQ presents “Play Stuff Fest”, the ultimate gathering for kidults and toy lovers. A 4-day toy market will feature an exciting line-up of local and overseas designer toy brands. Meet the creators and fellow fans to bond over your wildest toy dreams in person.
How serious can this toy affair get? Prepare to be amazed by the collector’s showcase, where passionate enthusiasts proudly display their exclusive collections of classic film and anime memorabilia, as well as limited-edition designer toy figures. Engage in insightful discussions led by designers and collectors, and take part in workshops to experience the artistry behind toy-making. Whether you’re a rookie or an expert, it’s playtime for everyone.
Get ready also for a special “Mini 4WD Concours d’Elegance” co-organised with Tamiya Hong Kong. Selected cars with the best design, chosen by players and toy designers, will take over the tracks to give you the most entertaining wheel-to-wheel battle.
Come on, kidults! It’s time to join this toy lover gathering and get serious about playing!
