Sucio the Mouse

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. Eric Nocella Diaz has been making art since he was a child. He was always fascinated with toys, how they were made , and who made them. He went from being a professional animation cell inker to a professional action figure sculptor and to this very day dabbles in the designer collectible market. Eric has produced several notable designer resin figures in the last two years with his breakthrough company Argonaut Resins. He is best known for his Egyption styled long neck Tuttz cat figure which has been selling out all over.
