The Cabulero Mini Monsters project began in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador, and concluded in June 2014 with the successful sale of the first series of 50 pieces. The project aimed to fill a gap in the local market by introducing unique and exclusive art toys that would ignite a collecting culture in the country.

One of the challenges faced during the project was sourcing the necessary materials for modeling and painting. With limited availability of art supplies in the country, the team had to be resourceful and creative in finding suitable materials. Despite these obstacles, the dedication and passion of the team led to the creation of these charming and enchanting creatures.

The success of Cabulero Mini Monsters has not gone unnoticed. In 2021, the design was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Toys, Games, and Hobby Products category.
