Available now!
Kitbash bags for KITBASH KARNIVALE are now available on our webshop!

Purchase of a bag gains you entry to our KITBASH KARNIVALE open call art toy show happening from 25 July!

Bags are $30 for Non-members and we have a special price for TNTS Member artists of $20

What is Kitbash?
Kitbash is the art of taking parts from different toys, model kits, junk and other bits and pieces and creating a new, unique work of toy art.

Kitbash Karnivale is a celebration of this form of creativity and a fantastic way for new toymakers to get involved with making Art toys.

We have put together a slew of Kitbash Bags for artists to create works that will be displayed in the TNTS Gallery. Each bag contains pieces of toys and other parts which can be used to create their works.

Bags also feature original resin pieces from Kitbash artists Tiddy Bean Toys, Squatchbreath, GGNW Co and UC Toyz

Bags have been packed at random.

Bags will be available for pickup next from this Wednesday.

Hey everybody,
We've got some big and fun changes happening at the store!

In order to make time to get them done, we're closing the store on Wednesdays except by appointment.

This means that while the doors will be closed, if you are in from out of town and have limited time, or have some important business with us, we can make some time to open the store for you.

Just shoot us a DM to make sure we'll be around as we might be out running errands.

Thanks for your patience and please keep an eye out for more about these exciting changes!

If you've had fun playing the indie Video Games on the Pico raspberry at our chill station, you have to thank for it. There are 3 Burnt Sausages themed games to play amongst all the other 8-bit action.

The band put a lot of work into their Action figure series and it really shows. The attention to detail and fun creativity that they're known for is on full display.

Each comes with a collector card illustrated by Johnny Charcoal himself, as well as instruments and accessories.

Rumour has it that these guys are working on some new material which is almost guaranteed to be an iconic global sensation, so go ahead and grab these bad boys before some eBay flipper scoops them and jacks up the price!

In store or online now.
