Theme: DIY Toys

Imagine unique designer collectibles, not mass-produced, but brought to life through the singular vision of an artist or a small, dedicated team. These are self-produced art toys – deeply personal artistic statements crafted independently, from the initial spark of an idea to the final packaged piece. Often created in tiny editions, perhaps just 10 to 100, using materials like smooth resin, tactile sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or precisely formed 3D-printed components, their limited nature enhances their desirability. The artist remains the ultimate authority, shaping every curve, color, and detail.

Toy Lair is proud to feature local artists, the toys and original art they make. Check out some fantastic works of art!
