The wildly popular “Crybaby” art toy is known for its unique and adorable design. Created by a Thai artist, it has gained recognition and inspired many young people.
Mod-Nisa Srikhumdee, also known as “Molly,” is a renowned Thai art toy artist who created the Crybaby character, which has become famous across Asia. Her interest in art began in childhood, with a love of drawing and crafting. As she grew older, she worked as a graphic designer and organizer before venturing into creating Crybaby, driven by her passion for toys and the fundamental human emotion of tears, which she believes should be expressed openly.
Crybaby has gained immense popularity among art toy enthusiasts in Asia, including in Thailand, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Molly is also the first Thai artist to sign with POP MART, a globally renowned art toy company, bringing her work to the attention of collectors worldwide.
Crybaby represents a range of emotions felt by the new generation, from happiness and sadness to vulnerability and strength. The detailed and meticulous design has made Crybaby a beloved figure in the art toy and art community. The popularity of her work has also positively impacted Thailand’s development of Soft Power, exemplifying how cultural capital can be combined with creativity and innovation to reach global markets.
Crybaby, with its charming and distinctive design, not only promotes Soft Power but also draws attention to Thai art works, and artists from both Thai and international audiences.
