Nickelodeon art toys are collectible designer figures inspired by the network’s iconic cartoons and characters. These toys often feature creative reinterpretations of beloved shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, Ren & Stimpy, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Brands like Kidrobot and Funko create stylized vinyl toys featuring characters in exaggerated or minimalist forms. Medicom Toy has produced limited-edition SpongeBob SquarePants BE@RBRICK figures, blending pop culture with collectible fashion. Urban and Graffiti-Inspired Designs – Some Nickelodeon art toys incorporate street art aesthetics, featuring spray-painted textures, neon colors, or abstract forms. Certain designers take a more avant-garde approach, distorting characters or reimagining them in unexpected ways, such as grotesque versions of Ren & Stimpy or abstract interpretations of Rugrats. Collaborations with brands like Supreme and Uniqlo have resulted in unique Nickelodeon-themed toys and figures with high-end appeal.Derek Welch and Jason Bacon started UNKL back in 2004 in Portland, Oregon as a way to focus their creative energy on non-client based projects. Since then, we've created over 200 different iterations of our characters with even more on the way. Aligments with Toynami (for toys) and Fifth Sun (for apparel) will continue to spread the UNKL word.This profile is a mix of all designer toys made by the artists.
