Hi,

I'd like some advice..

Always been a massive toy fan and a pretty creative person and have had ideas for new toy concepts (specifically action figure lines) for many years but never really taken it beyond that. I've started putting things down on paper a little more recently, sketches for prototypes etc and would like to know how I go about taking it further.

I assume there are thousands of "me" around and the major toy manufacturers don't just listen to anyone's ideas so could anyone point me in the right direction of how/where to really start with an end goal of getting my ideas seen/heard by someone of relevance?

I guess attending toy shows/conventions is a no-brainer. I know the US have some great ones but I haven't researched when and where these are held in the UK, where i'm based.

Are there magazines (I could subscribe to in the UK) that would be recommended as well?

Basically as much info/sources/forums recommended the better!

Cheers
