The nomination period is open NOW throughout to the end of 2021 (31st December). Check out below how to nominate…
Toy Customizing is the lifeblood of the designer toy world, inspiring much of the vinyl and resin toy production out there in more ways than we can count.
Thanks to dozens of amazing hard working customizers there’s never a slow week and their contributions to the community of designer toys never stop.
And Neither do they.Customizers start trends, movements, launch brands and careers! These unsung ladies and men frankly are the force that drive our fledgling sector to make other industries like contemporary art, fashion, music and NFT sit up and take notice! They are the meat and potatoes of the blogs, podcasts and social media, keeping the scene news fresh, alive and inspiring. Showing that it’s not just a one way street of producers decisions but is a direct participation with the community that molds the future of design and prodution.
Martian Toys would like to thank these folks and thinks they should be acknowledged.
