SATURDAY OCTOBER 10!

An art toy group show celebrating the multi-media phenomenon that is Pokemon!

Artists are taking a Pokeball and creating their own Pocket Monster to catch with it!

An exciting array of mini Kaiju toys will descend on This is Not a Toy Store in time for PAX weekend, so if you're in town come check it out!

❤️ A little help would mean the world right now.

I'm reaching out to my lovely community because I've found myself in a rather devastating situation.

My original Facebook and Instagram accounts have been hacked, and the person responsible posted inappropriate content without my knowledge or permission. Unfortunately, this has resulted in Meta disabling not only my personal Facebook account but also all three of my business Instagram accounts.

The accounts have been flagged for severe violations of Meta's policies, and there's currently no guarantee they'll be reinstated. I'm working hard to dispute the decisions and am in contact with several organisations who are helping me navigate the recovery process. However, this could take a considerable amount of time.

In the meantime, I've had to start again here, and I'm hoping to reconnect with the wonderful people who have supported my little ventures over the years.

I'm asking for a small favour. If you previously followed DollyBox, LittleBeaks or Clay Pigeon Society, please follow this account and, if you can, click reshare on this post, share to your Instagram Stories or anywhere across your social media.

Every share helps me reach someone who may have lost touch with me and helps rebuild the community I've worked so hard to create.

It's incredibly disheartening to have so much of my work and connection disappear overnight, but I'm determined not to let this defeat me.

Thank you to everyone who takes a moment to share, follow or simply send a little encouragement. It genuinely means more than you know.

With love and gratitude,

Helen ❤️

Seriously, I spent 4-5 hours making the instore Halloween playlist and it's very good. Drop your fave spooky season tracks in the comments. Or don't, I'm not your mum (but it would be super cool if you did interact with the content anyway!!) 👻🎃🤡 🖤 by @thisisnotatoystore

Hey gang, we've started uploading shorts to our YouTube channel.

Come say hi! Let us know if there are any kinds of videos you'd like to see from us! by @thisisnotatoystore

Our Yellow Wall of Doom contains an amazing variety of cardback Art toys as well as an expanding range of small run independent toymakers.

Many exclusive and one of a kind pieces you won't find anywhere else! by @thisisnotatoystore

Some new pieces meant we needed to rearrange the soft vinyl cabinets. One of my favourite parts of the job is arranging the toys in new ways.

Come check out the store when you're next nearby.

You never know what you'll find.

Also available online. If you want something and it's not on the webstore, just DM and we'll sort you out. by @thisisnotatoystore

Unauthorised Pocket Monster Group Art Toy Show now exhibiting upstairs.
We decided you can't have bootleg Pokemon without bootleg Pokemon cards, so we asked artists to also design one of those bad boys l.
