Designer toys is a term used to describe toys and other collectibles that are produced in limited edition (as few as 50 or as many as 2000 pieces) and created by artists and designers. Creators of designer toys usually have backgrounds in graphic design, illustration or self-described low- brow art. Designer toys first appeared in the 1990s and are a flourishing industry.
