And Doktor A. is represented alongside the largest names in the art toy scene with a beautifully mounted display of his classic toy figures.
If you are in Moscow any time soon, it is not a show to be missed.

It is with great excitement that I can share with you my latest collaboration with one of the original Art Toy companies, Kidrobot.
Gear up for a monstrous new addition to your collection! Kidrobot presents an epic reimagining of the King of the Monsters from UK-based artist Bruce Whistlecraft, better known as Doktor A. This ‘80s kid grew up watching early Godzilla movies on late night TV, and seeing the iconic kaiju return to the big screen in recent years inspired him to create his own tribute version in his signature retro-futurist style.
Forged from translucent, ombre burnt red vinyl, this 8-inch Godzilla art toy was meticulously designed to evoke a fiery industrial feel. “I thought the internal glow of the classic Burning Godzilla was a great match for the furnace heat of an industrial foundry,” says Doktor A.
Other industrial details include chimneys, the look of hammered metal throughout, and even working gears. “Replacing the dorsal fins with giant gears was my whole focus for this design,” says the artist. “I thought it was such a bold look without losing any of the original dynamic of the character.”
The result is a jaw-dropping fusion of monster and machine. The packaging was also designed by Doktor A and worthy of display in its own right.
