# Peculiar Peeping Sculptures YHWH Vinyl Figures by Mark Ryden are Fantastically Deformed By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-12-13 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yhwh-vinyl-figures-by-mark-ryden References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/YHWH-Figure-by-Mark-Ryden/836175) & [porterhouseart](http://www.porterhouseart.com/product_p/p066-bw.htm) The look of these YHWH Vinyl Figures by Mark Ryden may perplex, but perhaps that's part of their purpose. [Dave Pressler sculpted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme) these oddball objects based on the subject of a [surrealist painting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) by Ryden himself. The Necessaries Toy Foundation commissioned this curious piece, creating it with the help of Bigshot Toyworks and the creative vision of the artist. The special white and black editions of the YHWH Vinyl Figures by Mark Ryden are now available for $500 a pair, sold in unique packaging designed by Ryden. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surrealist Art Collectibles:** Opportunity for artists and toy companies to collaborate on creating unique and collectible surrealist art sculptures. - **Limited Edition Vinyl Figures:** Demand for exclusive vinyl figures with unique designs presents opportunities for artists and toy manufacturers to create limited edition collectibles. - **Artist-designed Packaging:** Collaboration between artists and product designers to create artistically designed packaging for collectible toys and sculptures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Collectibles:** Artists and toy companies can tap into the growing market of art collectibles by producing unique and visually appealing sculptures and figures. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can explore collaborations with artists to create limited edition vinyl figures that cater to collectors and art enthusiasts. - **Product Packaging Design:** Opportunities for designers to collaborate with artists in creating visually striking and artist-designed packaging for collectible toys and sculptures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Installation-Inspired Vinyl Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-1.md) - [NFT-Inspired Vinyl Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superbored-vinyl-art-toys.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Customizable Vinyl Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeship.md) - [Artful Motion Toy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nina-chanel-abney-bravo.md) - [Wooden Light-Hearted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-sculpture.md) - [Show Collectible Figure Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-11.md)
