| Diecast cars have been around and considered every kid’s first toy, which make sense why there’s a very large community who are so passionate about collecting them. Some would be interested into this hobby, since they can’t afford the real one. Plus, diecast cars are affordable that they are a diverse models based on the real cars.
For those passionate enough, some would venture into experimenting and customizing and that is where a new community begins. Then from passion it becomes an art form that makes the hobby continuously relevant, and that is where Bensan Customs became known for their passion and a game changer. |
Bensan Customs teams up with Secret Fresh to bring diecast collecting to the forefront with an exhibit titled “Diecast Toyfair,” which also feature the group exhibition featuring two dioramas and 1:1 custom diecast display featuring individual works who are part of the art show.
To celebrate the opening day for the Diecast Toyfair is a special “Gravity Race, which was held in the main gallery, where you see this Hot Wheels track set up, and random cars that were opened during the event.
Beside the exhibition, Bensan Customs also presented two themed dioramas depicting the Secret Fresh Gallery that is limited to 50 pieces (₱ 6,500 Pesos | $ 175.27 AUD | $ 124.06 USD **), while there’s another mini diorama featuring a metallic red car with DJ Big Boy Cheng that will only be sold for 30 pieces in a acrylic display case, which will be a Dinner Exclusive Edition.
Local diecast community in the Philippines has a come in a long way from just about collecting cars, but also has become a passion project and an art form that continues to make the hobby relevant and presented that everyone can be into if they put their creative mind to it.
“Diecast Toyfair” is a group show featuring the individual artists representing the Bensan Customs team, which is now on exhibit from 10-24 April 2022. For more about Bensan Customs follow them on social media via Instagram.
