Crunchy - The Credit Crunch Monster

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. Ronzo a.k.a 'Vandal Extraordinaire is a London based guerilla style artist, as intriguing as the characters he illustrates. When not too busy drinking tea in his secret underground lair he can be found mapping his imagination onto paper, applying paint to whatever he comes across and creating crazy installations in the street.
