Introducing Man Mates Fashion Outfits for Brick!

Every once in a while, somebody totally “gets you” and this is one of these occasions. My pal Steve has whipped up a series of fashions for the Brick Mantooth doll.

PlaidStallions First Sponsor : Odeon Toys

I’m very pleased/totally surprised to have my first corporate sponsor here at PlaidStallions, the good people at Odeon Toys. It’s an odd story how this came to be and goes to show you how fate works in funny ways. A couple of months back I won this catalog on Ebay, I’d never heard of Odeon […]
