Our brand
TEXAS TOY LAB, THE IMAGINATOR, the robot logo, Reachy’s Lab persona, and the taglines "You imagine it, my Lab builds it" and "> always printing_" are trademarks of Crabtree Ventures LLC, a Texas limited liability company. The website, its illustrations, page designs, photos and words are © Crabtree Ventures LLC. Please do not copy, imitate, or sell any of it without written permission.
Our toys
Joseph’s own designs (the TTL Robot, Genuine Printer Poop, the Personalized Name Keychain, toys built in the Imaginator, and the Dragon Snap Kit, which is coming, ages 6+) are original, proprietary designs owned by Crabtree Ventures LLC. Buying one gives you a wonderful toy, not the design rights: no copying, scanning, or reselling reproductions.
Licensed designer toys
Some toys at the Lab are printed under paid commercial licenses from independent designers we admire (for example the flexi-dragon and articulated-creature families). For those:
- The designers keep full ownership of their designs. Our license covers printing and selling finished toys, made in-house at the Lab.
- We never sell, share, or redistribute the digital design files. Ever.
Since September 27, 2026, licensed designs are sold only in person at markets. They are not orderable on this website. The toys on the website are the Lab's own designs. The credits below stay here as a record.
| Designer | Which toys | License and credit |
|---|---|---|
| Cinderwing3D | Classic Flexi Dragon, Crystal Dragon, Grand Silk Dragon, Mini Flexi Dragon Keychain, and minis in the Party Pack | Commercial license, active. Design credit is required by their license, not just a courtesy: the Classic Flexi Dragon, Crystal Dragon, Grand Silk Dragon and Mini Flexi Dragon Keychain are Cinderwing3D designs, printed here under commercial license. |
| MatMire Makes | Glow Axolotl | Merchant (commercial print seller) membership, active, seller form submitted. The Glow Axolotl is a MatMire Makes design, printed here under commercial license. |
| Flexi Factory | Minis in the Party Pack and Mystery Minis (exact models listed as they go on sale) | Commercial membership, active. Their license states no credit requirement; any credit we give Flexi Factory is a courtesy, not a condition of the license, and not an endorsement by the designer. |
| Rogi Studios | Surprise Egg minis for the Party Pack and Mystery Minis (exact models listed as they go on sale) | Commercial membership, active. Credited as good practice. |
| hollowmaker | Blobtopus and Hammerjaw | Commercial license, active, terms accepted. The Blobtopus and Hammerjaw are hollowmaker designs, printed here under commercial license. |
| MingGY | Flexi Zipper Fidget (not on sale yet) | Commercial license, active. Credited when it goes on sale. |
| Texas Toy Lab (our own designs) | TTL Robot, Genuine Printer Poop, Personalized Name Keychain, Imaginator toys, Dragon Snap Kit (coming, ages 6+) | Original designs owned by Crabtree Ventures LLC. No license needed to buy one; no copying, scanning or reselling reproductions. |
Toys you create with the Imaginator
When you type an idea into the Imaginator:
- Your idea stays your idea. Typing "a taco with dragon wings" gives us no claim over taco-dragons in general.
- The generated design belongs to the Lab. The specific 3D model our system produces, including anything shown on the printed-toys shelf, is owned by Crabtree Ventures LLC. We need this to safety-check designs and to reprint a toy a grown-up approved. We never use your typed ideas, or the models drawn from them, to train any AI model; see Data & AI.
- The printed toy is yours. Ordering a print gives you the physical toy and a personal-use license: play with it, gift it, show it off. Please do not reproduce it for sale.
- Name tags: the name you type into the name-tag tab is used only to shape the letters, never published, and deleted on schedule; see the privacy notes.
