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. Lisa Rae Hansen is a Scottish artist renowned for her character-driven art toys and sculptures. With formal training in jewellery and silversmithing, she channels her passion into creating unique art toys under her brand, iBreakToys.   Growing up in the 1980s, Lisa was influenced by action figures like Star Wars and Masters of the Universe, as well as films such as The Dark Crystal, Beetlejuice, and Star Wars. These elements inspire her to craft otherworldly characters that blend nostalgia with contemporary design
