Made by Coarsetoys is the Paw! vinyl toy.
There are only 50 pieces to this rare artist edition. This monkey rabbit Paw! vinyl toy comes in a solid banana carrot box topped with a felt leaf.
There will be three colorways available at the San Diego comic con including blue, yellow, and purple at $150 U.S. each or $400 for all three.
Implications - Toys are designed for adults just as much as they are for kids. With companies like Kidrobot and Mimoco on the rise, the older demographic is starting to crave designer toys to put in their homes as decor pieces. The popularity of graffiti and pop culture has inspired a culture of contemporary art-inspired toys with recognizable characters.
