Finalists for "Brand of the Year" in the 2013 Designer Toy Awards Are…
Coarse
ESC-Toy
Freak Store
Kidrobot
Medicom
Mighty Jaxx
Playge
threeA
Circus Posterus

Hot new brand Mighty Jaxx joins the mainstays in this category, and I personally could not be more proud of the Singaporean homeboys! With a catalog of products released from each of these brands, nominated by adoring fans, and to be judged by a closed panel, this is a coveted prize for toy-makers, methinks. And it is with zero tinge of sarcasm or cheesiness, that I feel everyone can be proud to be finalists in this list, regardless of the results, come NYCC!
