Guillermo del Toro is one of our greatest horror directors (though, in my opinion this is much more evident in his Spanish-language films, even if his American films are pretty great as well). Which is why it's no surprising he's garnered a passion fanbase in the interim.
This is no more clear than the custom art and collectibles fans have made for their favorite director. This includes a vinyl toy designed by Ecuadorian artist CHOGRIN – approved by the director himself (who you can see brandishing one above). You can BUY ONE HERE (while supplies last, of course).
It's actually part of a series of del Toro collectible toys, such as a custom Funko Pop and action figure:
There's also a custom deck of del Toro-themed tarot cards illustrated and designed by Spanish artist Tomás Hijo, which you pre-order on Amazon (BUY NOW!). Here's the official product description:
Let the fantastic vision of Guillermo del Toro guide your tarot practice with this sumptuously illustrated deck inspired by the haunting world of the award-winning filmmaker.
