TNoTToys is Your answer.

What If collecting Art Toys wasn’t about owning objects… but about Identity, Legacy, Memory and Rebellion?

TNoTToys is where collecting transforms into curating who You are.

It's not passive. It's presence.
A New Category within the Art Toy Movement: where Fine Art Prints, pages, and objects don’t just exist…they remember.

What If collecting Art Toys was actually a way to collect Yourself?

Not ArT Toys. Not Books. Not Prints. Not Shows.
All of that...and far beyond.

A New Category within the Art Toy Gama Movement that redefines how Art Toys are collected, experienced, and communicated; beyond the object, into meaning.

A space for collectors, artists, brands, galleries, shops, and curators

who dare to go beyond the obvious.

What does “TNoTToys” mean?

TNoT = “This Is Not (About) ArT Toys.” (pronounced “tee-not toys”)

TNoTToys was born from the Questions that have followed our community for years:

Is it a "Toy" or Art?

Who makes these?

Who buys them?

Where do you even put them?

Do adults really collect “Toys”?

Are you painting them, customizing them...why, and what for?

And after countless conversations (and a few pointless debates),

we chose a different path.

Rather than policing definitions, we embraced the paradox.

“This Is Not (About) ArT Toys” isn’t denial; it’s an invitation.

It says: stop arguing the label and start exploring the experience.

Some pieces feel like Toys. Others feel like Art.

Many are both—or neither—depending on the eyes that see them.

We’re fine with that. In fact, that’s the point!

TNoTToys Publications

The Editorial Lab of the ArT Toy Movement

What If a Book about ArT Toys wasn’t just a Book ?

What If It behaved like an Archive, looked like a Manifesto, and felt like a community in motion?

What If a library could map the Art Toy Movement?

What If the next museum of ArT Toys wasn’t a building, but Your Bookshelf?

That’s why TNoTToys Publications exists: an editorial series that documents, analyzes, and narrates the Art Toy Movement through the lens of lived experience: giving voice to collectors, artists, brands, galleries, shops, and ToyCons.

Building a collective archive of Identity, Legacy, Memory, and Rebellion: a living testimony of what this Movement feels like.

Turning ephemera into evidence, hype into history, and display into Dis(Play)...so collecting becomes culture you can cite.

👇Not Toys. Not just Books. A way to hold what moves you.👇

This Is Not a Book About ArT Toy Exhibitions & ToyCons – #1000IconicArTToyExhibitions

The First Global Atlas of ArT Toy Exhibitions.

Where Posters Became History.

(Series • Vol. 1)

What If the POSTER of an Art Toy Exhibition was the true beginning of the Movement’s Story: the JPG that stopped your scroll, the serigraph that shouted from a wall, the flyer that turned a date into a ritual?

The visual history of community rituals: posters, promos, and the graphic codes that created desire. And how shops, galleries and museums became cultural agents.

What If the first real collector wasn’t the one who bought an ArT Toy…
(but the one who kept the FLYER that announced it?)

👇"Every Story here is a fracture. Every Post, a prototype of Memory in progress."👇

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

The First Global Atlas of ArT Toy Exhibitions

will map how graphic language built community, shaped collecting habits, and turned toy shops, galleries, and museums into cultural agents of the ArT Toy Movement.

A Book Series not just about design, but about how the Movement made itself seen

💥 This won’t be just a Book Series.
It will be a time capsule disguised as a POSTER collection.
A visual history that turns nostalgia into knowledge.
A bridge between design, culture, and community.
A tribute to the Shows that made the invisible visible.

Not a catalog.
A rebel archive, a celebration of how the ArT Toy Movement spread from underground scenes to museum walls, through paper, ink, and instinct.

🔥 Why Exhibitions Matter

Because Exhibitions built the Movement.
Before the drops. Before the hashtags. Before the algorithms.
There were people printing POSTERS, hanging ArT Toys, and showing up.

Those walls, tables, and flyers were the Movement’s first heartbeat.
This Book Series captures that pulse — before it fades into the scroll.

The first ArT Toys appeared in late-’90s Hong Kong, inside small ToyCons where vinyl met rebellion.
From those early underground Shows to today’s hybrid Exhibitions and online platforms, the Movement has always spoken through its POSTERS: those visual manifestos that turned moments into Memory.

Exhibitions — physical or digital — aren’t just events.
Each one connects people, shapes communities, and keeps the pulse of Play alive.

POSTERS aren’t just announcements.
They’re the DNA of belonging: tangible proof that Art happened, and that You were there.
They link decades of creativity, from factory floors to digital feeds.

Because every time a new POSTER appears, it doesn’t just promote a Show:
it declares that the Movement still breathes.

What If the ArT Toy Movement didn’t begin in studios or stores…
but in the moment someone decided to print an invitation?

Exhibitions are rituals of belonging, where imagination becomes tangible, community takes shape, and digital identity finds a heartbeat.

They connect what happens online with what happens face-to-face:
turning hashtags into handshakes, avatars into allies, and followers into friends.

They gave — and still give — artists a platform to show,
collectors a reason to travel,
and fans a place to feel seen.

They merge Art, commerce, and culture

into a living network of Memory, Identity, Legacy, and Rebellion.

Every Exhibition — whether in 2001, 2011, or 2025 —
is a snapshot of what this Movement stands for:
interaction, experimentation, collaboration, and celebration.

What Ifevery exhibition POSTER was more than promotion
but a visual Manifesto that built a Movement?
