DABSMYLA And Beyond The Streets Drop A ‘Cosmic Cat’ Vinyl Figure
by Anton Kromoff
Welcome to the table,
I once spent $30+ on a vinyl toy called a Munny back in the early 2000s. It was glow in the dark, came with blind box accessories and I had big plans to paint it and make it a custom figure I could be super proud of. About a year later I bought another one for less with the same plan to make something super unique and cool for myself. I just found them both in a box in my office closet.
I have packed them with me across at least 10 moves, and still… they remain blank. It fascinates me that every time I look at them the endless possibilities of what could be start to bubble up. There is just something magical about vinyl toys, sure they are expensive but they are just so cool.
Speaking of vinyl toys, I saw these cosmic cats by DABSMYLA x Beyond the Streets on sale at Tenacious Toys.
The Cosmic Cat Black 12″ Vinyl Figure is a limited edition collectible created in collaboration between the duo artist DABSMYLA and Beyond the Streets, an art brand and gallery that showcases graffiti and street art.
With only 150 Cosmic Cats being produced and made available worldwide, the availability of these toy art pieces is super scarce.
Each Cosmic Cat figure comes in a cylindrical style packaging, featuring DABSMYLA’s signature psychedelic style with bright colors that make the artwork really pop. This rare collectible item is a must-have for fans of DABSMYLA’s trippy street art and vinyl toy collectors alike.
DASMYLA is an Australian husband-and-wife visual artists duo that employs a shared design language that dictates subject matter, positioning, color theory, and perspective. With this established framework and unspoken set of rules- strengthened by over a decade of working together simultaneously – their singular goal is to tell an expansive story that is wholly unique to their own experiences. I learned a lot about their work once news of this Cosmic Cat came across my desk and frankly, the experience of learning about new stuff that I have not come across before is one of the best parts about being a pop culture journalist.
Until next time, finish that project you have been putting off.
