German street artist Flying Fortress began his street art journey in the early 90s as a classic graffiti artist, but soon changed his approach to something more iconic. He created the Teddy Solider, with the idea that, the more he put his solider around Munich, the larger his army will grow telling a much wider story. The more his troops took over, the more popular he became allowing him to move into different directions, not just constrained to a wall. Flying Fortress has since worked in toys, posters, skateboards, and clothing with his vinyl Teddy Troops toys proving extremely popular.
