And The Winners for the 2018 Designer Toy Awards Are ...

A weekend since past the annual Designer Toy Awards ceremony being handed out Friday night June 1st, and me waking up on a Saturday late morning (sick-as-a-dog, fhanks) and have since been seeing folks posting their wins online (some of which have been reposted here) ... although no "official" listing is as yet posted on designertoyawards.com (which I suspect would be soon, after Five Points Festival 2018 and all :p), and a hearty CONGRATULATIONS all around to both the winners, and the finalists!

Scroll thru to the bottom to watch a (recorded) live-stream of the event!
