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. Dehara Yukinori is a prominent Japanese artist and toy designer, well-known for his work in the designer toy scene, particularly for his contributions to kaiju (monster) and pop surrealism inspired vinyl figures. His toys are characterized by their playful, quirky, and often humorous designs, making them beloved in the art toy community. Dehara’s aesthetic is distinct, with his works often blending childlike innocence with a touch of the strange and surreal, creating figures that are both endearing and mysterious.
