Fashion Rats is a line of limited edition satirical art toys originally created in 2019 and expanded for retail in 2021 by the independent artist, Obvious Plant. Each release consists of a figure of a literal realistic looking rat alongside clothes and accessories you can dress it up in. These toys are produced and sold exclusively through Obvious Plant himself. As of 2025, five different rats have been released.

The original fashion rat was released on March 11, 2021. It had a limited print run of 500 but received a second printing after gaining viral popularity. Unlike future rats, the original did not come with clothing pieces and was instead focused on hair play. Each rat came with a small wig that could be crudely placed on its head alongside some styling accessories. Notably, this rat was also a much larger size than all later ones.
Fashion Rats: Runway
Fashion Rats Runway was a three part release that included the option to purchase a display board backdrop and stickers alongside the rat itself.
Fashion Rats: Princesses
The Ice Queen rat came out on June 24, 2025, coinciding around the release of the third and final Runway rat. It had an extremely limited release of only 10 rats, selling for $300 USD each. The back of the box hints at future releases based on Rapunzel, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Pocahontas, though it is currently unknown if there are any actual plans to produce more.
