Art toys, also known as designer toys, are a type of collectible toy that is designed by artists and designers. Unlike traditional toys, art toys are often created in limited editions and are considered to be more of a work of art than a mass-produced item. Art toys can come in many different forms, from vinyl figures to plush toys to resin sculptures.

Art toys have become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly among adults who appreciate the unique designs and limited availability of these items. Many art toys are sold in blind box format, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the collecting experience.

Art toy designers often collaborate with other artists and brands, creating limited edition collaborations that are highly sought after by collectors. Some art toy designers have even gained celebrity status, with their designs being featured in galleries and museums around the world.
