As other notes mention this is a style of figure called an Alebrije! They were invented in the 1930s by a man named Pedro Linares, who had a psychedelic fever dream about a world teeming with weird animals in these intense color patterns. He started making models of them to sell and they became an international phenomenon to this day :)
