“Brain Evolution” and TAG Opening Night Pictures!
We just wanted to take a minute and thank EVERYONE who came out to the “Brain Evolution” and Toy Art Gallery Grand Opening last Friday night! We had an insane week setting up the new space and it was really satisfying seeing it finished and watching people enjoy themselves.
Keep an eye on the store this weekend as we finish adding “Brain Evolution” customs and a huge smorgasbord of new products and exclusives, including a few very hot vinyl figures that managed to slip through the cracks.
