Every artifact tells the same story: that wonder endures, even when the world forgets its makers.  

Tinkerer’s Notes: 
Each creation begins with a spark — a sketch on parchment, a hum of gears, a moment of wonder. Materials are chosen for longevity, finishes for character. No two pieces are identical; each bears the mark of its maker and the promise that imagination never truly rusts. This is the creed of the workshop: to build what endures, and to remind the world that curiosity is a form of rebellion. 

Tubby Buddies are chunky versions of your favorite characters.  They are crafted from PLA using 3D print technology.  This listing includes 4 fully colorized 3D printed model kits.  They are a licensed design by The Kit Kiln that was then forged in our workshop. It assembles with no supports and no glue.  We include a detailed guide to put them together.   Assembly is fairly easy but might require some adult assistance for kids under 12.

You will receive Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, each packaged in their own poly bags.  

These chunky versions of the brothers stand approximately 6.5 inches tall each when fully assembled.  You can also purchase each turtle individually.  LEONARDO, DONATELLO, RAPHAEL, MICHELANGELO

Collector’s Insight:  
Every creation from the Workshop carries a fragment of its maker’s intent — a reminder that imagination is the rarest form of endurance. For collectors who seek meaning in craft, this is not merely an object; it’s proof that wonder still hums beneath the gears of time.
