Collecting joy,
one toy at a time

"We shouldn't stop playing with toys just because we are old."


TOYOnami is a space where I share the joy of collecting toys as a kidult.


My shelf is a small museum I built one piece at a time. Every piece has a shop, a price, and a story I can still tell you.

Store tours and hauls — Bengaluru, Bangkok, Vietnam, and wherever I land next.

I make this for anyone who collects because it makes them happy.

TOYONAMI collection shelf

No Scalper Prices.
Ever.

Every toy in my collection was bought at retail. Collecting should be about joy, not speculation. Here's how I hunt smart and build an incredible collection on a real budget.

Hi, I'm Prashant.
The man behind TOYOnami.

Started collecting Hot Wheels back in 2018. LEGO turned up a few years later, Pop Mart after that. Every layer is still on the shelf.

What I look at first is the toy — the stance, the panel lines, whether anyone at the factory actually cared. I care more about that, and the happiness I get from it, than the resale value. Some of my favourite pieces are worth nothing.

I film the shops, share my journey of collecting mindfully.

Based in Bengaluru, I travel to Bangkok, Vietnam, and across Southeast Asia hunting for toys at retail prices. No hype markups — just the pure joy of finding something special on the shelf.
