In the niche realm of custom vinyl and resin art toys, RunDMB has established himself as a veteran artist. His unique designs have garnered international recognition, featuring in collections worldwide. Beyond toys, he customizes trainers, skate decks, and various other mediums, occasionally releasing limited edition t-shirts and prints. The Teddy Troops had been around in the streets for a while before they also turned into a 3D vinyl toy in 2004. First of all Flying Förtress started in 2002 to get up with his chrome Trooper icon. Trying to use an easier readable illustrative symbol instead of doing the classic coded graffiti letters and tags that he had been doing before since 1989. Together with the chrome pieces there have stickers also been seen around in the streets since 2002. Handpainted or silkscreend ones with a hand-drawn finish on "free" post stickers and series of offset printed stickers.
