Playing with toys isn't just for children -- everyone can enjoy the mythology and creative designs of the United Monsters art toy collection.
Here's the story behind United Monsters: a group of creatures from the monster world are being attacked by the Gorgons. To fight back against the Gorgon attack, they formed the United Monsters! The group is successful defending against the Gorgons, but when they face the final boss, they turn to stone.
Alluding to classic characters like Disney's Mickey Mouse or DC's Batman for design inspiration, along with some influence in the styling of Disney's 'The Night Before Christmas,' the company Hobby Design developed this amusing collection of art toys. They are crafted from cast concrete and come in a large selection of figurines or candle holders that come with the art toy, temporary tattoos and a sticker pack.
