Heart Evangelista is adding another entry to her growing and impressive list of achievements: toy designer.
Evangelista will be releasing Seasons, a collectible set of 12 handpainted figures with Secret Fresh Gallery. The toys, which are reminiscent of the women that appear in her artworks, will have a limited run of only 50 sets.

What makes this even more special is that each set comes in a special wooden box with doodles and a personalized message from the artist.
According to a report by Philippine Star Life, each set costs P200,000.
Bigboy Cheng, the owner of Secret Fresh Gallery, told ABS-CBN that more than half of the sets have already been sold. He also predicts that the rest will be sold even before the official release. Only 40 of the 50 sets will be available for sale.

Evangelista is a prolific artist who is known for her portraits and handpainted designer bags. On Karen Davila’s vlog, she said that she turned to painting while thinking of her career. In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, she revealed that she started painting bags after a stain from fries almost damaged an Hermes Birkin.
Today, her artworks and handpainted bags start at P200,000. Last year, she sold a painting for P3 million.
Just last month, her collaborative artwork with Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd, called neon people, was launched. Limited edition signed prints were made available, while the original artwork is available for sale on the Moonlight Arts Collective website for $14,000 (roughly P783,328).
Seasons will debut on August 28, 2022, at Secret Fresh Gallery. Evangelista’s other works will also be displayed.
