About this Manufacturer
A division of Urban Vinyl Daily, UVD Toys strives to bring to life products and toys of some of today’s most talented artists. Keep an eye out for more exciting projects as we continue to build the brand behind an amazing lineup of creative people. In 2010 UVD was born as a blog called Urban Vinyl Daily.

MCA has also made a name for himself in the gallery world over the past few years. Aside from his highly successful collaboration show “Destroy You, NYC – MCA + MAGMO” at Orchard Street Gallery in Manhattan, he also recently had a solo show (“Simian Nation”) in Boston at The Lab as well as taken part in a three man show (with Abe Lincoln Jr. & Ethos) at the Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago to name just
