About this Manufacturer

Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components. Fools Paradise is a Hong Kong-based art toy company renowned for its satirical, pop culture-infused vinyl figures that blend streetwear aesthetics, humor, and nostalgia. Founded by artist Alan Ng, Fools Paradise specializes in limited-edition, hand-painted resin and vinyl collectibles that often parody iconic characters from movies, video games, and comic books while infusing them with a distinct, urban-stylized twist. Their toys frequently feature exaggerated proportions, relaxed postures, and a mix of realism and surrealism, often depicting well-known characters in unexpected, humorous, or ironic scenarios. A signature element in Fools Paradise toys is their obsession with sneaker culture, often dressing figures in oversized kicks inspired by real-world streetwear trends. Mintyfresh is a feeling... it's the smell that get's released after you buy something new, you come home and rip off that plastic wrap to love and cuddle your new product. This is also the thought behind Mintyfresh, we want to give each customer the feeling that the product they bought was specially made for them en make sure they treat it with as much love as we do! The idea for Mintyfresh came during a road trip to Germany in 2007 by 2 buddies Joël and Leon, but only halfway 2008 we finally did something with these idea's and Mintyfresh was founded. With all the passion and love we put into Mintyfresh we are convinced that Mintyfresh is doing it's best to deliver the highest quality of service and products like Designer Toys, Plush, Prints and Apparel.
