Dragons Custom Toy Show

August 6, 2012 - by Zombiekel

Six Months in the making and finally ‘Dragons Custom Toy Show’ is 2 weeks away!

Dragons Custom Toy Show is the creation of UK Toy Collector Andy Kelly (Zombiekel) who wanted to bring together some of the UK’s greatest artist in a single platform show and raise some money for charity at the same time.

Due to the show being held in Wales, UK and the Dragon being their National Emblem, together with 2012 being the Year of the Dragon the show was to named ‘Dragons’ and then of course the chosen Platform had to be the Kidrobot Munnyworld Kracka!

 

The show opens at 6pm (GMT+1) on Saturday August 18th at The Sho Gallery in Cardiff, Wales, UK (www.thesho.co.uk) with all the custom pieces on sale to take away that night.

If you cannot attend but wish to buy a custom then you can call the gallery between 6pm & 9pm (GMT +1) whilst the show is on and reserve & pay over the phone via credit card.

The remaining customs will be available on Monday August 20th at 8pm (GMT+1) online where they are currently for preview only http://thesho-case.com/73-dragons

Also on the night there are 24 goodie bags to be given away.

All the artists will be wearing name badges along with myself so all you need to do is find me at the event and ask and you shall recieve a goodie token which you can exchange for a goodie bag at the counter.

The goodie bags conatin items donated by Kidrobot, Clutter, Trampt along with items donated bythe artists themsleves.

 

Come along and say hi, its certainly shaping up to be one hell of a night with nearly all the artists invloved in attendance.
