Sticky,

I'm the Creative Director of Wow Wee Ltd (division of Hasbro), and I just wanted to say nice website mate!!

I run all the R&D / Product Development here in Hong Kong (I come from an Industrial Design background). The only real addition to your website that I think would be of practical use, would be a vendor base list - model makers, manufacturers, printers etc. If you listed contacts both in the US and Hong Kong / China and Taiwan, you'd have a great resource for the whole Product Development trade.

All the best - Phil Duffy.

Phil,

thanks for your feedback. if you have any links to submit, i would love to add them. you can add a new topic here http://toyarts.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 with any toy related links and i will add them to the links pages. i am always looking for vendors to add. in fact, i have a few that i just remembered i need to add.

Hey it has been a year since anyone posted anything in this area.
I love the site, it is a great resource, but it would be nice if people posted more about current trends and places of interest that others here might enjoy. so the place becomes more of a community and not just a place to look for jobs (although this place is great for making new contacts).

I tried to start a inspirtational thread a few months back but no one seemed interested in posting anything except MARKB who was nice enough to send in 2 links one for a really great sculptor and another for a designer that has done a lot of cool stuff in the ID/Toy field.

Please post more stuff!

check out http://www.swearbear.com or http://www.Drastic.com for updates on my Swearbear vinyl figure design.

Please buy the gobler toy book too! http://www.goblertoys.com (I sculpted the remote controlled Komrade Kluck!)

Hi,
I like the site.
Some suggestions:
I'd like a way to search for companies by location. Link lists are good, maybe add city and state next to company name. That way I can use the "find" button on my browser and find what I am looking for easier.
Also, maybe a newsletter or some alert when people post, that way the site stays active.
Nice work

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the feedback. You can currently search manufacturers by state, but not by city. Maybe in the future, I will update the "other" links list by state too.
