Mexican Painter Action Figures

'Today Is Art Day' Created a Unique Acton Figure After Frida Kahlo

— May 11, 2017 — Life-Stages
Action figures are commonly associated with action and sports, but Today Is Art Day recently launched a unique action figure that pays homage to art and culture. The Frida Kahlo Action Figure boasts a braids, a rose-scented flower crown, a monkey and a surrealist heart that can be attached or removed from the figure. Today Is Art Day recently launched the unique acton figure on Kickstarter, with endorsements and rights from the Frida Kahlo Corporation.

As part of its Art History Heroes Collection, Today is Art Day also launched a Vincent Van Gogh Action Figure with a detachable ear.

There are a number of action figure collectibles that have been created as art collectibles, including Andy Warhol dolls, the Vitruvian Man figurines and iconic marble statues.
