a lot of crappy winners if you ask me. Congrats to them, but I felt that some other great artists where left out.

I mean, L'amour, really? The guy does collabs almost always and his toys arent even that original. Great illustrator, but definitely not a breakthrough artists, as for Ferg not getting the award, im bummed.

Roto deserves it, and as for best sofubi, im glad Restore got recognition, though I wished the Ferg sub would have a nomination (maybe because it wasnt released?). That said, PK or Lulu winning would have made me happier.

Also, Wolf Girl is not worth the award on my opinion, I guess not enough of us were voting for the Ferg.

Either way, all in all, It's nice that the event takes place and brings together a community that needs the recognition and ceremony to give the due respect. Also, Its cool to congregate all of those that do so much cool shit throughout the year for the few hours and give them a little nod from us of us that buy their toys.

KR shouldn't be even considered, btw. Whats next, Mattel for toy producer of the year? preposterous.

Congrats to Rotofugi, Kirby, Whitney and Fugi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
