Jason Freeny: the art of dissection that captivates collectors

Dive into the fascinating universe of Jason Freeny, the artist who revolutionised the art toy world by literally opening up our favourite pop icons to reveal their hidden anatomy. Imaginary skeletons, meticulously sculpted organs, dissected muscles: every piece turns a familiar character into a haunting and magnificent collectible. At MTHOR, we curate the most sought-after creations by Jason Freeny and his legendary collaborations with Mighty Jaxx, each one authenticated by our team of experts. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a fan of designer toys hunting for your first piece, this collection brings together figures that are as much works of art as cultural investments.

The story of an icon: the anatomist of pop culture

Born in the United States in 1970, Jason Freeny began his career as an industrial designer before earning worldwide recognition thanks to an idea as simple as it was brilliant: what if we could see the inside of our toys? Working from his studio in the New York area, he developed his Anatomy series in the early 2000s, imagining and sculpting the skeletons and organs of characters that never had any. His famous dissected Balloon Dog, a nod to sculpted balloons and contemporary art, went viral and propelled his work to phenomenon status.

His meeting with the Singapore studio Mighty Jaxx marked a decisive turning point. Together they turned his concepts into limited-edition figures, accessible to collectors worldwide through the XXRAY and Dissected series. From cartoon characters to cult toys, and through collaborations with other artists such as Whatshisname and his famous Popek, Jason Freeny is today recognised as one of the major figures of contemporary art toys, exhibited and collected all around the globe.

A unique signature: how does the art of dissection work?

The strength of Jason Freeny's work lies in a precise creative process: he starts from a familiar silhouette and imagines, with almost scientific rigour, the anatomy that could hide beneath its surface. Every bone, every organ, every joint is drawn and then sculpted to coexist believably with the original shape. The result is a striking écorché effect, where the cute and the macabre meet. Produced by Mighty Jaxx in high-quality vinyl or polystone, the pieces reproduce these details with remarkable finesse, often in numbered or limited editions.

For the collector, this translates into three major advantages: strong artistic value, as each figure is a genuine sculpture designed down to the smallest detail; controlled rarity, with limited runs guaranteeing the exclusivity of your piece; and lasting collectible potential, as the most sought-after editions gain value on the secondary market.

The emblematic pieces of the collection

This collection showcases the artist's most iconic creations. You will find the XXRAY series, which reveals the inside of pop heroes in an « x-ray » format; the Dissected series, even more detailed in its anatomical rendering; and standout collaborations such as the Dissected Popek born from the joint work with artist Whatshisname, available in several colour editions including the highly coveted Space Grey Edition. Add to these the Jason Freeny classics such as his dissected Balloon Dogs, his anatomical interpretations of cult characters and his « candy » or translucent style figures. So many pieces that make this selection an ideal playground for discerning designer toy enthusiasts.
