Death by Toys started in 2015 after I succumbed to a lifelong battle with action figure collecting. Since then, it’s become a one-man boutique of handmade toys that the world never asked for.
I am literally a single-person operation, and each piece is made entirely by me from start to finish. I use anything from repurposed vintage toys to hand-sculpted parts to resin cast figures to common everyday objects. My packaging is designed in Photoshop, then spray-mounted to cardboard and cut by hand (with each clear plastic bubble being adhered one at a time).
I’ve been fortunate to collab on some insane projects over the years. A few notable clients include: The Tonight Show, Netflix, Weezer, Seth Myers, Adam F. Goldberg (ABC’s ‘The Goldbergs’), Doing Things Media, Eli Roth, and Mark Borchardt.
On top of that, my toys have ended up in the hands of some of my favorite people, like Stephen King, Patton Oswalt, Quentin Tarantino, and Ben Schwartz (just to shamelessly namedrop a few).
So take a look and see what you like. After all, life is short. You might as well collect something.
