Mattel Creations Debuts Fisher-Price® Little People® x André Saraiva, Reimagining a Childhood Favorite Through Contemporary Art

The iconic Little People figures are reimagined by the celebrated French artist, blending nostalgic design with contemporary street art flair

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Mattel Creations, Mattel’s design-driven direct-to-consumer platform for collectible collaborations, launched the Fisher-Price® Little People® x André Saraiva set, a bold reimagining of one of the world’s most beloved toy lines through the creative vision of André Saraiva. Available exclusively on Mattel Creations, this set transforms nostalgia into artistry, merging the timeless charm of Little People with André’s bold, recognizable graffiti style.

Designed, released and available exclusively through Mattel Creations, the collaboration reflects the platform’s ongoing efforts to connect global artists with Mattel’s most iconic brands, transforming toys into highly collectible objects that sit at the intersection of art, culture and play.

The set features four wooden figures: Mr. A, Mrs. A, Grumpy Boy, and Hervie, each instantly recognizable through Andre’s expressive visual language. Crafted in wood with the natural grain visible across three distinct skin tones, the figures are produced at a larger, display-forward scale that reflects their dual identity as toys and collectible art.

André began tagging the streets of Paris in 1986 with his signature top-hatted Mr. A character, an enduring symbol of joy and connection that has appeared over 300,000 times around the world. His work, rooted in graffiti culture but embraced by galleries and brands alike, celebrates the kind of creative spirit that Fisher-Price has championed for generations. Together, this collaboration bridges the worlds of childhood wonder and contemporary art, inviting fans to rediscover play as a universal language of expression.

“I’ve always believed that play is a form of art,” said André Saraiva. “Reimagining Little People through my characters felt natural. These figures carry emotion, humor and storytelling in a very direct way. Working with the Mattel Creations team on this partnership allowed us to treat play itself as a creative medium.”

“Mattel Creations is where our most iconic brands meet contemporary culture,” said Chris Down, Chief Design and Innovation Officer, Mattel. “Working with André allowed us to reimagine Little People as collectible art, honoring its emotional legacy while creating something distinctly new for an adult collector audience.”

The Fisher-Price Little People x André Saraiva set (SRP $70 USD) and merchandise, including tees, sweatshirts, a jacket and a tote (US only), will be available exclusively on MattelCreations.com, in limited quantities while supplies last.
