Would definitely recommend the Birmingham toy fair, really good day out. The company that runs them is BP Toy Fairs, they do them all over the UK but this is the biggest!
I was pretty good this time round, could have definitely spent lots more but had to save some money for the rest of the month. There’s another one in December so maybe I’ll can spend a bit more then! Cheers!
Oh wow! Those custom battle beast figures at 5:11 are amazing! I get why they're that expensive, but at £20 each, it's a bit above my budget. Really, really cool though!!
All the figures on his stand were great! Agreed on the price, it’s justified due to the craft and uniqueness of the figures but with everything else I’d spent my money on I couldn’t afford any this time. Cheers!
Those are the custom Battle Beasts I mentioned. They’re by a small business called For the love of old toys. They have an Instagram account if you want to find out more instagram.com/fortheloveofoldtoys?igsh=NHdxejhmZzJ3cDMy
There were a handful, almost all of the stands were selling some form of toys, action figures, Lego, cars etc The stand I featured with the customs sells through Etsy. There was also someone that did cut out metal super hero art who I think was selling through Etsy. At previous toy fairs I’ve seen one or two stands selling custom minis that I think were also Etsy sellers.
Oh right, as I say and hopefully you can tell from the video it was very heavy with toys. Not great for comics, there were some but not loads. The toy selection skewed towards vintage and a big load of cars but there was a bit of everything. The company behind it is BP fairs and they do them all over the UK.
Hi mate, great video, love the angles of filming for the toys! 😊 Might be worth dropping the close-up unflattering face-angles in order to showcase more toy clips? I know personally Im more interested in the toy-goodness than constantly having my screen filled with a too-close angle of a man's face 😊 Just a thought, obviously do feel free to tell me to rot in Hell along with my children and loved ones 😄 Anyway, keep up the good work! 😍👍
Interesting to hear your thoughts. Though my channel and videos are focused mainly on story (however simple that may be) and giving viewers a taste and idea of what the convention or in this case fair is like through my experience. Just as much as they are about showing what’s for sale or activities at the events themselves. With the overall goal of getting people to get out themselves! Obviously if you are offering to upgrade my camera gear so I can have wider talking head shots let me know 😀 Cheers for the food for thought!
First time watching great stuff. Look forward to watching more.
Thank you, welcome to the team, happy to have you along for the journey!
Omg. Heaven near me. Thank you for the info.

Hi. Was there many etsy sellers there ??

@GeekExplorers I've been to quite a few toy fairs / comic cons and there were hardly any toy / collectables sellers there. Majority were etsy sellers

@GeekExplorers I do love looking at vintage toys and comics so may have to go to the next one.
Awesome!
