Blockhead Greaser

MADL is a designer art toy platform created by Jeremy “MAD” Madl, one of the pioneers of the urban vinyl toy movement. First released in 2002, MADL figures are known for their bold, blocky shape, clean lines, and graffiti-inspired aesthetics. They were among the first American-designed vinyl toys to gain popularity, bridging the gap between street art, hip-hop culture, and designer collectibles. The MAD*L figure typically has a distinctive angular form with a broad head and a compact body, providing a great canvas for artists to customize. Over the years, the platform has featured numerous limited-edition releases, artist collaborations, and hand-painted customs, making it a highly sought-after collectible in the art toy scene. I'm a NY based graphic and web designer. My girlfriend got me into vinyl toys a few years ago and well..now its a little outta control haha. I started recently customizing some and I have to say I'm hooked. If you wanna see any pictures of my work as they are being done, hit up my instagram @anthonyrespect
