Designer toys are, of course, toys. But toys created by talented artists and in usually very few numbers, and are collected until the numbers run out. The types of toys range from typical plastic vinyl toys to plush dolls. Designer toys are usually miniature from 6" to 12". They also range from $10 to as high as hundreds of dollars. These toys are all very unique, ranging from obnoxiously cute to disturbingly grotesque. The toys also seem to be very popular in japan where such figures are more appreciated

Shanese's Research Paper
The term "Designer toy" means collectibles that are produced in limited editions. They are created by artists and graphic designers. These designer toys are made from various materials such as plastic, vinyl, wood, metal and on occasion, resin. Designer toys come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be virtually any color that you could possibly think of. They also come in sizes from 2 inches to as big as 20 inches in height or width.
A popular design of toy is the "Mei Mei DIY" by Veggiesomething. The reason many of these designers are popular is because it is blank leaving you to customize it to whatever you want.
These designer toys can range from $9.99 to $300.00! They are collectable and one of a kind which make them extremely expensive.
