Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I receiving when I buy an "Edition"?
Our Editions are high-fidelity, 1:20 scale replica shipping containers made of durable plastic ABS and alloy. Each one features vibrant, UV-printed graffiti from world-renowned artists. Think of it as a museum-quality piece of street history designed specifically for your shelf.
What is the difference between an "Edition" and an "Original"?
An Edition is part of a limited-run series featuring high-quality digital prints of an artist's work. An Original is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted piece. Our artists use the same materials and sprayspaints on these 1:20 scale canvases as they do on real freight trains, making each Original a unique, textured masterpiece.
How large are the containers?
Each unit is built to a precise 1:20 scale. The dimensions are approximately 12" x 5" x 5", providing enough surface area to showcase the intricate details of the graffiti while fitting perfectly on a standard bookshelf or display case.
Are these pieces part of a limited run?
Yes. Every Edition is produced in strictly limited quantities to ensure its value as a collectible. Once an Edition is sold out, it is gone. Each piece represents a specific moment and collaboration in graffiti culture.
Can I visit the studio to see these in person?
Absolutely. We are located in the heart of Toronto at 1110B Dupont St. We love meeting collectors and showing the "These Are Not Toys" line in its natural habitat. Feel free to drop by or contact us to make sure the team is in the studio when you arrive.
