Here’s a pic of the medals we designed and made for this years event, along with a pic of the man himself Mr Steve Peat and a fantastic little edit by the guys at X-Trails films. Congrats to all the riders who took part and everyone involved for a fantastic event. Thank you very much for inviting us to be part of things again!

We’d like to say a HUUUUGE thank you to everyone who came along and said hello at Toycon UK! The event was fantastic and it was great to see so many happy people. The organisers did a fantastic job of keeping everything running like clockwork and we received some great feedback from the attendees.
A huge thank you to everyone who took home some of our wares as well – the Panda Otaku’s sold out especially quickly, we hope the little chaps are behaving themselves in their new homes.
We’re very happy to announce that we’ve just uploaded the remaining Toycon UK items to the TADOShop – you can check out what’s available and we’ve also got a couple of pre-orders running too! We’ll go into detail about them in the next post.
Thank you again to everyone who came along and to the organisers for a brilliant day!
