About this Manufacturer
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. Tomenosuke is a distinguished gallery and shop located in Gero Onsen, a renowned hot spring resort in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Specializing in “artistic toys” or “objets d’art,” Tomenosuke offers a curated selection of designer toys, rare collectibles from international artists and manufacturers, and unique original products. Beyond their physical store, Tomenosuke maintains an online presence, offering their curated selection to a global audience. Their online store features new arrivals, exclusive releases, and information about upcoming collaborations, ensuring that collectors worldwide have access to their distinctive offerings. Andrew was born in England in 1978. His family moved several times until settling into the eastern US in the mid 1980's. He has lived and worked in New York since 1996. Andrew's work spans a wide spectrum of mediums from illustrations and paintings to toys and sculptures. Much of his work is brought together by a sense of humor that often belies a more serious and sombre message. His work has been featured in solo and group gallery shows from LA to Paris and has been covered by publications such as The New York Times and Wired.
