05 Questions

Good to know.

Where are your manufacturing partners?

Mainly in South Asia and China today, and anywhere that makes things well.

Which standards do you work to?

Toy safety and electronics rules for the markets we sell in, such as EN 71 and CE in Europe, and the local standards where we launch.

How small can a first order be?

Small. We often begin with samples or tens of pieces before moving to larger runs.
