Mattel CreationsBlue the GreatThomas the Tank Engine Diecast

The art world can be an intimidating place. With HIGHArt, Highsnobiety is aiming to break down the entry barrier and steer clear of the elitist mindset that is often associated with the art industry. The HIGHArt collection spotlights artists, brands, and institutions that transcend the art space with both classic and quirky creations spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and collectibles. While some may think Mattel exclusively provides kids with engaging games and toys that allow them to explore the wonders of childhood, the toy manufacturer and entertainment company also serves as an elevated collector platform. The brand has long since offered limited edition figures and other collectibles that blend the worlds of toys, gaming, and popular culture like few can, appealing to children and adults alike. This Thomas the Tank Engine diecast is unlike any other, tagged with custom detailing by multidisciplinary artist, Blue the Great, who is known for his signature spray paint style. We find the spirited vehicle wrapped in iconic mummy graffiti and further embellished with “Blue” in bubble letters.
