Melva Tiny Ghost Soul Mates Mini

Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components. Reis O’Brien is a prominent figure in the toy design industry, renowned for his significant contributions to collectible vinyl figures. With over a decade of experience, he has established himself as a creative director and artist with a deep passion for pop culture and collectibles. O’Brien’s journey in the toy industry began when he collaborated with Funko’s founder, Mike Becker, on a side project related to a clothing line. This partnership led to his recruitment into Funko’s design team, where he played a pivotal role in creating and developing various products, including the widely acclaimed Pop! Vinyl figures. In 2013, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit, O’Brien founded his own toy company, Bimtoy. Under this brand, he introduced the “Tiny Ghost” figure, a collectible that has garnered a dedicated following for its unique design and charm.
