Sleeping Sea Urchin

Giant Robot Store, established in 2001 features products from around the world. Notably, fun house wares, gifts, stationeries, t shirts, comics, plush and toy figures.

GR2 Gallery features art exhibitions by notable artists like Katsuya Terada, Luke Chueh, David Choe, Mari Inukai, Deth P Sun, Rob Sato, Ako Castuera, Sean Chao, Yoskay Yamamoto, Uglydoll, and countless others. A Little Stranger is the creative alias of Holly Astral, a UK-based artist and model maker renowned for her whimsical, creature-inspired art toys and plush designs. Operating from just outside London, Holly draws inspiration from animals, the natural world, and fantasy films to craft endearing and imaginative characters. Holly’s artistry is characterized by a fusion of soft textures, playful forms, and a gentle aesthetic that resonates with both children and adult collectors. Her most iconic creation is Cavey, a minimalist, bean-shaped character available in various materials, including plush, vinyl, and resin. Cavey has been featured in numerous themed releases, such as the “Toyconcaveysaurus” edition for ToyCon UK 2013. Giant Robot teamed up with David Horvath, creator of UglyDolls, and asked artist Luke Chueh to curate a group custom toy show that will be on display during SDCC that features custom UglyDoll figures. Artists include: Luke Chueh, J*Ryu, Angry Woebots, David Horvath, Yukinori Dehara, John "Spanky" Stokes, 64 Colors, Miso, A Little Stranger, Mari Inukai, DrilOne, Leecifer, Kano, Scott Tolleson, and Julie West. If you plan on attending SDCC, these customs will be on display at booth #1729.
