Cadaver Kid

Splurrt is the moniker of Joe Merrill, a distinguished figure in the designer toy scene, celebrated for his intricate and often macabre soft vinyl (sofubi) creations. Drawing inspiration from vintage American toys, Rat Fink, pop culture, and Japanese kaiju, Merrill has cultivated a unique aesthetic that resonates with collectors worldwide.   Among his notable works are the “Cadaver Kid” and “Uncle Steve” figures, which have become iconic within the art toy community. These creations exemplify Merrill’s penchant for blending grotesque elements with a touch of nostalgia. Known for his gruesome monsters and iconic sculps such as Cadaver Kid and Uncle Steve, @splurrt (aka Joe Merrill) has invited a crew of talented sofubi guys and gals to create their own custom interpretations of original SPLURRT sofubi figures.
