White Eyes Neighborhood x BxH Skull Kun

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. Bounty Hunter is a Japanese brand and design collective founded in 1995 by Hikaru Iwanaga. It is best known for pioneering the fusion of punk, streetwear, and toy culture, heavily influenced by Japanese and Western subcultures. Bounty Hunter played a significant role in shaping Japan’s urban fashion scene and designer vinyl toy movement. The brand’s signature aesthetic includes dark, rebellious themes, often incorporating skulls, bold graphics, and influences from biker, punk, and sci-fi styles. One of its most recognizable creations is the BxH Skull-Kun, a vinyl figure with a skull-like head and cartoonish body, embodying the brand’s mix of edgy and playful design.
