The toys would be focusing on my fantastic animal or figure interpretation and based on pop culture influences such as color

The idea sketch is mainly focused on structuring  white dummy. A base DIY model would able me to create all kinds of illustration on top. The final design is a bust that have have interchangeable masks (with magnet).
