Hi everyone i'm Inventoy the site moderator,
I started this forum as a central resource for like minded toy and game inventors to share their experience, good or bad with others. I have over 10 years experience of toy inventing and currently have a portfolio of more than 100 toys and game inventions. Some are just ideas on paper but the majority are prototypes (at least virtual 3d). I have a good knowledge of the toy invention industry and many areas of toy inventing.
Hope you enjoy the site and gain something from it.
Cheers,
Inventoy

HI!
I run a small design studio called Sublevel, I specialise in the childrens market (and motorsport weirdly) and came across this forum by chance - about time someone did something like this!
If anyone has any queries regarding packaging, design, logos, characters, mock-ups etc...or just needs some advice just ask and I'll do my best.
I would approach Toy News Magazine with a press release re. this forum and let the industry know we're out there!
Cheers ;D Mark

Hi.
I've been designing games of all sorts for as long as i can remember, but have finally decided to try to move some of them forward to becoming games that people can buy. I hope to find some useful contacts via this site and think it is a great idea.

I've been inventing products for children and infants for 25 years and for a long time I have wished there was a resource on the web like this, Excellent idea which will do us all a power of good.

Hi everyone!
I've been a freelance toy designer (mostly girl's products) for almost 10 years now and have just leapt into the world of licensing, creating my own brand for girls. I'm very keen to get some of my toy and game inventions licensed and will be on the lookout for any advice on how to get started. I am obsessed by girl's toys (always have been - I've never grown up!) and I'm so glad to have found a site that can give me practical advice (and moral support!) about the ins and outs of the toy and licensing business. Great to be here!

Hi Ron,
Welcome to the forums. I would be interested to learn if you work for a single toy manufacturer or run your own company (freelance?) sourcing new toy ranges for mutiple retailers?
Cheers,
Inventoy

Hi, I have had the good fortune to license 7 products, two of which are toys. The best thing is I have done this spending less than $100 on each. You can see them at my website www.rogerbrown.net

Hello Everyone, I am here to hopefully learn a few things. I have one of those active minds which is always thinking of new ideas or ideas to improve an item. I've never grown up. I wonder if I'm the only 45 year old that still fights with her grandchildren because I want to try the new toy out first. ;D I'm glad to be here. Thanks for putting up a site like this!
