Before graffiti culture found its way onto standard gallery canvases, it lived on steel. Freight trains and shipping containers moving across North America became rolling galleries, carrying raw, regional styles from city to city.
For the legendary NYC TFA crew, mastering that steel meant pairing aggressive, technical wildstyle with absolute precision. DERO didn't just paint; he set the bar for sharp bevels and complex connections in the birthplace of the movement.
Now we bring that energy into your studio.
This isn't a mass-produced replica. Produced and authenticated in-house at The JuncYards in Toronto, this 1:20 scale miniature shipping container serves as a high-fidelity snapshot of graffiti history. Using precision UV print technology, every crisp line and punchy chrome fill of DERO's work has been captured on a 12” x 5” shipping container model.
For serious urban art collectors, the value is always in the scarcity. There are only 11 of these authenticated units in existence worldwide. Once they hit the shelves, this limited-run entry into the These Are Not Toys ecosystem will not be reprinted.
Secure a piece of the culture before the steel rolls out.
EDITION: DERO – The NYC Style Master
Limited to 11 pieces worldwide
High-Quality UV Print on 1:20 Scale Container (12” x 5” x 5”)
Includes official documentation certifying limited-edition status
Free worldwide shipping

We're not playing games..
Traditional prints are flat.
We wanted something with actual presence.
Shipping containers and heavy freight are ubiquitous to graffiti culture—so we used that massive industrial object as our canvas.
We collaborated with artists to adapt their archival photos and digital designs for these small-run collectibles. Only 11 of each will ever be made.
These Are Not Toys.
They are premium 3D canvases, built in partnership with a global collective of the world’s cleanest writers. Every single edition directly supports the artists who keep this movement alive.
From our studio to yours—capture a piece of the culture. Elevate your shelf with a piece that holds real weight.
Originals and limited editions drop soon. Don't get left outside.

Traditional prints are dead. It’s time for the evolution. 📦🔥

Let’s be real—collecting paper prints is a headache. You buy the art, it sits in a tube for six months, and then you spend a fortune on framing just to keep it from warping or fading. One coffee spill or a move across town and your investment is trashed.

We’re changing the game with These Are Not Toys: Editions.

We’ve taken an iconic freight culture item—the shipping container—and scaled it down to 1:20 industrial-grade replicas. We aren’t just printing on them; we’re using professional UV printing so you can actually feel the texture of the print. It’s durable, tactile, and built to be handled.

Why Editions?

Durability: Built from metal and ABS plastic. No glass, no frames, no worries.

Exclusivity: Limited to only 11 units per artist. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Function: Working doors and internal storage for your supplies.

Support: Artist-owned and operated. We work with the best writers globally to bring the alley straight to your collection.

Stop hiding your art behind glass. These are ready to display the second they hit your doorstep.
