While more people might be familiar with the call "Avengers Assemble," Designer Toy fans might soon learn to love the phrase "Artists Assemble!" The title of an upcoming exhibition at Toy Art Gallery, in association with 3Coconut Monkey and Stan Lee's POW Entertainment, "Artists Assemble!" brings together a massive list of talented customizers, each tackling Stan Lee's "Yo!" DIY vinyl figure in their own unique ways. Over 50 artsts contributed pieces, making their own heroes and villains, including: Abe Lincoln Jr., Aeron Alfrey, Ardabus Rubber, Bert S. Gatchalian, Bob Conge/Plaseebo, Brent Nolasco, Carson Catlin, Chet Zar, COPE2, Cris Rose, Darren Goldman, Dodgrr, Dr. Hill, Francesco De Molfetta, Furry Feline Creatives, Gabbie Custom Art, Geoff Trapp, George Gaspar, Ian Ziobrowski, Javier Jimenez, Jay222, Jesse Hernandez, Jim Koch, Jon-Paul Kaiser, Jophen Stein, Josh Mayhem, Juan Muniz, Julie B, KRK Ryden, Leesasaur, Luke Chueh, MCA, Megan Massacre, Megan Smithyman, Michael Leavitt, Michael Pro, Miscreation Toys, Mitch O'Connell, Nathan Hamill, Obscure, Olivia, Ragnar, Rsin Art, Scarecrowoven, Spankystokes, Steven Daily, Sylvia Ji, Tasha Zimich, The Pizz, Tim Clarke, Tomi, Tyler Coey, Victor Castillo, and Zieromuko!
