Art Toys, also known as Designer Toys, are limited-edition collectibles created by artists and designers, typically produced by independent, small toy companies. The movement originally became known as "urban vinyl" because of Michael Lau's work with characters influenced by hip-hop and street fashion. While the term "designer toys" eventually became the accepted name, the field now incorporates a wide variety of creative elements beyond its original urban roots.
