TEQ63 is a designer art toy created by QUICCS, a Filipino artist known for his fusion of streetwear, cyberpunk, and mecha aesthetics. The character is heavily influenced by Japanese mecha (especially Gundam), hip-hop culture, and urban graffiti, making it one of the most recognizable figures in the modern art toy scene. TEQ63 is typically depicted wearing a hoodie, a futuristic skull-like helmet with a visor, and sneakers, often resembling classic streetwear styles. The toy exudes a futuristic, dystopian vibe, with robotic or mechanical details that give it a tech-infused personality. Many releases include different colorways, special editions, and collaborations with brands like Adidas, Kidrobot, Martian Toys, and Devil Toys. TEQ63 figures are primarily produced by Martian Toys and come in multiple sizes and materials, including vinyl, resin, and sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl). Variants range from standard 6-inch figures to oversized, limited-edition versions, as well as exclusive artist collaborations featuring unique designs and colors
