About the Item
Frank Kozik x Kidrobot “Smokin’ Joe Stalin” Vinyl Bronze Bust, 2007 — Limited Edition of 50
A rare and iconic piece from the late legendary artist Frank Kozik, this limited edition bronze Stalin bust, titled “Smokin’ Joe Stalin,” was released by Kidrobot in 2007 in an edition of just 50 pieces worldwide. This particular example is new old stock and includes its original box in excellent condition.
Step up to the plate with this provocative and brilliantly subversive piece by legendary pop artist Frank Kozik. Famed for his fearless mashups of cultural and political iconography, Kozik delivers a stunning resin bust that fuses two unlikely figures: Soviet strongman Joseph Stalin and American baseball icon Joe DiMaggio.
Wearing a custom-designed “Bolsheviks” baseball jersey, this sculpture blurs the lines between Cold War authoritarianism and all-American sports heroism. The result? A tongue-in-cheek commentary on power, propaganda, and pop culture – all wrapped in Kozik’s unmistakable visual flair.
Dimensions:
Height: 37 cm (14.6 in)
Width: 24 cm (9.4 in)
Depth: 22 cm (8.7 in)
Materials: Vinyl
Markings: Stamped on the base “Kozik x Kidrobot 2007”
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality piece of contemporary art toy history, combining fine art sculpture with Kozik’s irreverent cultural critique. Highly collectible and seldom seen on the market, especially in this pristine, boxed condition.
The Art Toy will be shipped insured overseas. Cost of insured shipping to the US is Euro 145.
Colors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings.
Wear consistent with age and use.

Designer Toys, also called art toys, are toys and collectibles created by artists and designers that are either self-produced or made by small, independent toy companies, typically in very limited editions. Artists use a variety of materials, such as ABS plastic, vinyl, wood, metal, latex, plush, and resin. Creators often have backgrounds in graphic design, illustration, or fine art, but many accomplished toy artists are self-taught. The first Designer Toys appeared in the 1990s in Hong Kong and Japan. By the early 2000s, the majority of Designer Toys were based upon characters created by popular Lowbrow artists, forever linking the two movements.
