Toy Agents

Toy agents, this is a tough one. Some majors will not see toy inventors direct, they will only see agents. I have found an exception to this though, if you can get a track record of licensing a few toys, then it does become possible if you can find the individual companies 'Inventor Relations' people. I did try to use agents a couple of times, and unfortunately it was (in my case) totally fruitless! They never managed to place anything from my portfolio, where I was able to place 8 - 10 items a year, so it's not like the concepts were not viable! The downside of using agents is that they mostly want 50% of advances/royalties for the privilege.

In the UK, some toy companies will see inventors direct, but you will have to check the sometimes 'thorny' issue of NDA's (Non Disclosure Agreements) and inventor records.

This is only my experience, and I hope it is of help. If you want to present to the likes of Mattel etc, then you will probably have to go via an agent, but my point is that we present to Mattel without an agent, so it can be done. Having a track record is everything!
