About Bruce
▏MONDAY BRUCE▕
Created by designer Phoebe in 2021, it was produced as a blind box toy by Toys Alliance in 2022.
Due to Bruce's cute appearance that reflects a sense of world-weariness about work, many office workers resonate with it, making it quite popular among them since its release.

After graduating from university, this white-collar worker has been navigating the professional world for several years.
With each passing year, she becomes more entrenched in the typical office grind. She channels her feelings and observations of daily life into her art, symbolized by a rabbit character. Through her work, one can feel the disillusionment and helplessness experienced by office workers.
