Tell me something about you?

My name’s Rafael Pantoja, my pseudonym is “Frank Mysterio” a mix of wrestlers names, by day i work as graphic designer in a big studio here on Mexico city, by night and weekends i work by myself on my stuff, my favourite theme for my illustrations and custom toys is the mexican “Lucha Libre”, is something i got since childhood, also i like it because i can show an important part of Mexican culture to the world, even i got my own mask which i wear since “Frank Mysterio” born, 6 years ago.

The inspiration as i said before is the “Lucha libre”, (by the way, i got tattoos of my favourite wrestlers!)

The DIY toy wich i like the most maybe is the Toyer Qee from Toy2R, the first time i paint one i really like it, was nice and easy to work on. if you want proof that this is my favourite toy…

I almost got 3 years working on vinyl toys, my first piece was a munny for a friend, my personal collection is close to 300 pieces, goes from designer toys, weird and old toys of every kind, kaiju toys, platforms DIY and Mexican folk art toys. The next project I’m working on is a DIY toy in resin, “Karuzo” is a collaboration with Chauskoskis, is on it final stage, just matter of weeks for the release…
