VOTING is now OPEN for the 10th annual Designer Toy Awards!!!

It's been officially announced... the folks behind the Designer Toy Awards aka the DTA's are excited to kick things off for their 10th year of this super exciting awards ceremony! Running from NOW until Wednesday, October 27th at 11am PST - the Designer Toy Awards will open voting for you all to pick your favorite... brand/artist/toy. Head on over HERE now, register, and get those votes in.

This year, 2021, just like last year... we here at SpankyStokes are putting the focus on others... in every facet of what we try to do, that's why you have been seeing us sharing, posting, and turning the focus more on artists, companies, and businesses... with that being said, all of you who have supported us over the years, we are asking that you throw your vote to someone who deserves "The Best Media Outlet" win (hopefully)... please vote for Vinyl Pulse! Jack has been the main driving force behind the designer toy world long before we came along (or most all designer toy blogs, for that matter), and through all these years he stays super humble and continues to promote and write about designer toys with class - elevating them to the art form they truly are... and out of all the media outlets, deserves this award the most!  The list of categories, according to the DTA site, is as follows:
