Do you know someone who’s into limited-edition art toys? From vinyl toys to plush collectibles, designer toys are an art form of their own. Many are created or inspired by artists, illustrators, designers, and museums, such as the limited-edition collection of Kidrobot Dunny figures made in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Vinyl art toys, models, and figurines allow art enthusiasts to pay tribute to their favorite artists or movements by displaying them proudly in their homes. However, there are also other types of art toys that are more interactive, such as jigsaws or even art-themed Monopoly. In this list, we’ve included cute collectibles and educational art toys that allow both kids and adults to playfully celebrate their love of art.
