Custom Vinyl Toys by MAp-MAp

Some of my favourite custom vinyl toys are created by UK artist & illustrator Matthew Plater, aka MAp-MAp. His quirky collection of characters often have a cool little backstories to accompany them. I love seeing the designs at the just primed stage because it gives a great insight into how much painstaking sculpting goes on to create these customs and original pieces.

Condom teddy

2300 condoms later, a teddy is created as part of the Playing Painful campaign. The main concept for this toy is about teenage dissipation. Boys and girls finding love and care in the act of random "one night stands". The next toy is in "the making" and consists out of needles!
