Igor Ventura is an art director, motion designer, illustrator and customizer from Brazil. He started his career working in the account and planning departments of advertising agencies while still in college. Before his graduation in 2001, he decided to focus on design and started working in the creative department. Today, he is a motion designer in an audiovisual studio in Sao Paulo, and an art toy designer and customizer on his spare time. Igor ranked 3rd place in in the Kidrobot Munnyworld: MunnyMunth Contest in 2010, was a finalist in the CE Planet Toy Global Contest I in 2010, was a finalist in the Designer Toy Awards 2015 in the Custom of the year category, had a production piece in Blankie series 1 by Aartin, a Dunny in the Art of War series by Kidrobot and 3 different designs in Android series 6 by Dead Zebra. Andrew, an avid Android user himself, teamed up with some friends at Google to bring their little green mascot to life. Series 1 features 12 different designs in blind-boxed cases of 16. Pick up a few and try your luck, or grab a whole case to secure a nearly-full set. Be on the lookout for some super rare chase editions. Each vinyl figure stands 3” tall and features a rotating head and arms. Dyzplastic is the designer toy brand created by Andrew Bell, a well-known artist and toy designer. The brand is most recognized for producing high-quality vinyl figures, often featuring Bell’s signature blend of whimsical, creepy, and playful aesthetics. One of Dyzplastic’s most famous projects is the Android Mini Collectibles series, created in collaboration with Google. These figures are based on the Android OS mascot and come in a variety of artistic designs, including collaborations with different artists. Aside from Android figures, Dyzplastic has also produced original designer toys, often inspired by Bell’s dark yet humorous take on creatures, food, and pop culture. Many of the brand’s creations reflect his artistic style, which blends soft curves, bold colors, and surreal, sometimes unsettling, themes.
