Designer Toy Awards make triumphant return in 2024

The Designer Toy Awards return in 2024, a major event for the collectible art community. Organised by Clutter Magazine since 2011, the ceremony honours outstanding achievements in designer toys globally. It is the premier gathering for artists, manufacturers and fans of this art form.

The 2020 ceremony celebrated several notable winners. Punk Drunkers won Artist of the Year for their distinctive Japanese-Western fusion style. Their motto "Uncool is Cool" shines through their creations, attracting a global fanbase since 1998.
