"Alyenz" a new blind-box vinyl series

Buffalo Toyz, a newly formed designer toys division of well-known French label Attakus, is proud to unveil their new Alyenz blind-box platform figures @ COLETTE! The collection : vinyl figurines with spicy, atomic, rustic, retro-futuristic or parodic designs, customized by famous artists coming from some of Europe’s top fashion professionals or from the worlds of graphic design, comics, cinema and of course street art, as well as a few veterans of the vinyl scene.

Far from denying the street art world which has allowed the emergence of the designer toys worldwide phenomenon, ALYENZ offers for the first time a European vision of designer toys, associated with a desire of pointing out the most representative artists of contemporary creation. Each series is composed of 9 different figurines available in blind box: each purchase is a complete surprise and collectors can trade the duplicates!

The artists :
A panel of artistic figures, from Soledad Bravi, the Illustrator of ELLE Magazine, to the comics artists Philippe Buchet and Lewis Trondheim, through the graphic designer Geneviève Gauckler (who created Laurent Garnier’s sleeves) and the cult film maker Marc Caro, who makes his first foray into the world of designer toys.
