About this Artist

Universal Pictures, primarily known as a major film studio, is also an influential player in the art toy industry through licensing its iconic characters to various designer toy brands and manufacturers. The studio owns a vast catalog of beloved franchises, including Jurassic Park, Universal Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, etc.), Back to the Future, E.T., and Minions, many of which have been reimagined as collectible art toys. Universal collaborates with well-known toy companies such as Super7, Mondo, Funko, NECA, Medicom Toy, and Kidrobot to produce limited-edition vinyl figures, sofubi (soft vinyl), and other stylized collectibles. These collaborations often reinterpret classic characters in unique artistic styles, ranging from retro-inspired designs to modernized, high-end collectibles aimed at serious collectors. Mondo is pop culture brand, built for collectors. We work with incredible artists who share our passions to create posters, soundtracks, toys, and more – products that share a rare, unexpectedly vivid and timeless quality. Mondo humbly began as a quasi-bootleg t-shirt shop located in the basement storage hallway of a single-screen movie theater. In 2007, Mondo began working with major artists and studios to create beautifully designed licensed products. We started with posters, then soundtrack LPs, and finally toys and other items, and have blossomed into the ever-expanding hydra of entertainment collectibles that we are today. In 2022, we joined the Funko-verse, helping us to continue bringing fans and friends our curated approach to pop culture. DesignerCon is an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys, customs, plush, designer apparel and so much more with urban, underground and pop art! We are a celebration of all aspects from the world of design. Mondo Art Toys is a collectibles brand known for producing high-quality, artist-driven vinyl figures, statues, and sofubi toys based on pop culture, cult films, comics, and horror franchises.

They produce both designer vinyl figures and traditional Japanese-style sofubi toys, often with a retro kaiju influence.
