Marshall Aztek

Marshall burst onto the scene in January 2008 when a relatively unknown design team from a small town in Michigan released a letter-pressed print of their new character, an infectiously happy little marshmallow boy who just happened to enjoy roasting marshmallows himself. The Marshall shown on the print was equal parts cute and sadistic, one of our favorite combinations. From the first time we saw Marshall we knew that 64 Colors’ partners, Laura and Eric, had hit on something fantastic. Luckily for us it turns out that Laura and Eric were not only great designers, but also fans of designer toys…and as it turns out, fans of Rotofugi. So when they approached us about the idea of making Marshall toys, we jumped at the opportunity and suggested a blind box series. Frank Mysterio is a Mexican artist and designer known for his bold, psychedelic, and graffiti-inspired art toys. His work blends elements of Mexican folklore, lucha libre, lowbrow art, and street culture, resulting in eye-catching, highly detailed designs that often feature skulls, masks, and intricate patterns. Mysterio is particularly recognized for his use of bright neon colors, airbrushed gradients, and tattoo-like linework, giving his figures a unique and unmistakable aesthetic. He frequently customizes sofubi (soft vinyl) toys, adding his signature artistic flair to established platforms while also creating original designs. His work has gained international recognition in the designer toy scene, leading to collaborations with various toy companies and artists. Mysterio’s fusion of Mexican traditions with contemporary urban art makes him a standout figure in the global art toy movement.
