The rumours are true: The Monster Factory will not be at this year's One of a Kind Show. The good news is that starting this weekend we will be open on Saturdays from 11am to 5pm.

The Monster Factory is located at 471 Richmond Street West, Suite 102, couple doors west of King Textiles. Please note we no longer have parking available to our customers, but there is a lot located at 15 Denison Ave, behind the KFC.

Remember to call in advance if there is a particular monster you would like us to put aside for you and stay tuned for more holiday specials to be announced soon!

Place a moustache on your favourite monster for a chance to win Johann!

In the spirit of Movember, a global charity event where guys grow moustaches to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer during the month of November, Monster Factory is hosting a monster moustache contest.

To enter, place a moustache of any style (the handlebar, the Chaplin, the Zorro, etc…) on a monster using any fabrication. You can even use Photoshop to apply the moustache.  Then, send the photo to us at info@monsterfactory.net by Friday, November 26th at 4pm.

Todd considers himself something of a modern gentleman. In fact, he’s been thinking about growing a moustache for a while now. And what better way to distinguish the boys from the men? After all, real men wear their manhood on their upper lips.

So when Todd found out about Movember, a global charity event where dudes grow moustaches to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer, Todd signed himself up for a Mo Space. It was the manly thing to do.

Halloween is one of the Monster Factory’s favourite times of year: we love having a good reason to dress up in costume, eat candy, and carve a pumpkin! For this contest, we want you to carve a monster-themed jack-o’-lantern for a chance to win a set of very special limited-edition Halloween Clementine & Booh monsters!

This year Clementine and Booh have decided to dress up as ghosts for Halloween after their original idea to be 'Robot Werewolves' turned out to be too complicated of an undertaking.

These spooky limited edition monsters, made here in Toronto, are available for sale in our online store while quantities last. So get them before they disappear!

From time to time we make monsters that are not quite perfect but are lovable nonetheless. Please help us find a home for all our monsters that have funny shapes, small scuffs and wonky eyes. From September 20th to 24th these imperfect monsters will be 70% off. We also have an overstock of t-shirts that we'll be selling, 2 for $5. Stock and sizes are limited, so come get 'em while they're hot!
