Toys can help remind you of your childhood and that feeling of innocent joy when summers were long and days were filled with play and priceless moments of endless possibilities. Nostalgia is running high. With the popularity of shows like Netflix’s The Toys That Made Us and Toy Hunter on the Discovery Channel, people are looking to reconnect with the toys that defined their childhood playtime.

While the thrill of the hunt is easily the most exciting aspect of collecting, showing off the spoils comes in a close second. Even better if the toy was never “lost” through the years and you found it digging it out from a box in the attic. Either way, now that you are an adult you can frame that special toy, brighten any room you stage it in and remember your childhood every time you look at it.

Hot Wheels® toy cars started hitting shelves in 1968 and mushroomed into a booming franchise. What boy didn’t have, or want, one of these adrenaline-fueled vehicles growing up? This collection is matted with Crescent Select suede mats.

Just like the Barbie doll logo, this Hot Wheels logo was cut from matting using our Wizard CMC.

A new twist on an old-school favorite is LEGO® brick art. If you’re an Andy Warhol or Marilyn Monroe fan, this is the set for you. Recreate iconic art with these cool puzzle sets and frame them for your home or office. Display your creation with a Nielsen moulding like Anodic Black shown here. This sleek aluminum frame is a great compliment to the gloss of the bricks and fits perfect with the Lego art puzzle’s thickness.
