POP MART, the renowned global designer toy and entertainment brand, announces a new collaboration with critically-acclaimed artist Gary Baseman, creator of the iconic cartoon cat, Toby. The new series is set to be released!
The MEGA SPACE MOLLY 400% x Gary Baseman series welcomes SPACE MOLLY into the mystical and bizarre world of Toby, incorporating Baseman’s trademark surrealism and mysticism art styles. Decked out in a red and black spacesuit donning white gloves, a gas tank filled with 3D eyeballs, and Toby’s pointy ears, SPACE MOLLY transforms into the iconic character, embarking on her own journey to carry on Toby’s mission “to celebrate the beauty of the bittersweetness of life.”
Bridging the gap between pop culture and fine art, the MEGA SPACE MOLLY x Gary Baseman collection connects Toby and SPACE MOLLY’s shared passion for adventure and exploration through the visual and contemporary lenses of Baseman and POP MART. Armed with unwavering bravery, loyalty, and compassion for the ones they love, Toby and SPACE MOLLY will continue their journey across the universe to bring friendship and companionship to all those they encounter along the way.
Interdisciplinary artist and creator of Toby, Gary Baseman said: “Collaborating with artists and designers from around the world has been a longstanding joy of mine. From animation to performance to toy design, I love the challenge of seeing how others translate my original characters. The work with POP MART and the creator of MOLLY/SPACE MOLLY has been playful and serendipitous, especially with the themes of friendship and adventure.”
Artist and Creator of MOLLY/SPACE MOLLY, Kenny Wong said: “Gary [Baseman] is a cultural icon and visionary. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with him to combine our passions for creativity and design with the launch of the MEGA SPACE MOLLY x Gary Baseman collection. I’m excited to share the collection with both fans of Toby and SPACE MOLLY and look forward to collaborating with Gary on future projects.”
