Chicago artist Nez brings her cute, nostalgic art to life with the new Cereal Buddy resin art toy from UVD Toys. The little box of wonder debuts in a magenta edition with yummy cereal balls bursting out of the just-opened box. Recalling a happy Saturday morning of cereal + cartoons, the figure features big, wide eyes filled with stars and flowers.
While food package toys are pretty established, Nez’s design stands out with the sculpted cereal ready to pour into a bowl. The fun figure tickles that 3D itch that just wouldn’t be possible without this ‘extra’ detail. Toys that push beyond the ‘usual’ level of three-dimensional detail remind us of how we fell for art toys. The shoes are pretty fresh, too.
An edition of 100, the Cereal Buddy resin art toy (5″) is available from UVD Toys for $100.
