industry. The 2014 award ceremony recognized the best of the
industry’s artists, designers and brands, as well as honored
those involved in championing Designer Toys throughout the
world. With over 700 entries placed for consideration, the
Designer Toy Award's Nomination Committee — comprised of

TOY OF THE YEAR

BREAK THROUGH ARTIST
CUSTOM OF THE YEAR
Aaron Moreno established his brand ‘Retroband‘ for one reason – to make the toys he wished
he had when growing up. An example of artistic DIY fandom that would be close to many a
pop culturalist’s heart.
What sets Aaron and ‘Retroband’ apart from other players in the scene is perfect execution in all
aspects: figure design, figure creation, artwork, card-backs, and packaging. This commitment
to perfection has caught the eyes of fans worldwide, leading to ‘Retroband’ figuresselling out within a day or two of release. www.retroband.bigcartel.com
Spending most of the 90's traveling the globe as a muralist and theatrical designer, Jason joined
MTV's Special Events department in 1997 as a freelance designer. Jason helped design
and create stage sets, props, and custom artwork for MTV Networks live events and trade
productions worldwide. Jason's most recognizable contributions were his custom trophies created
for MTV's "Rock-n-Jock" series and "TRL Awards" televised events. www.moistproduction.com

The glow-in-the-dark figure set includes three characters – Ruth, Void, and Omen –

BRAND OF THE YEAR
ARTIST OF THE YEAR
Founded in 2001 as a magazine devoted to the obsessive-compulsive world
of Japanese toy collecting, Super7 embarked on a mission to become the
premiere outlet for information and reference for the obscure oddities of
the toy universe. The success of the magazine immediately led to Super7collaborating with Japanese toy manufacturers to create exclusive toys
and various special editions, evolving over time to Super7 designing and
manufacturing its own collectible toys.
Super7’s philosophy is to make products that the founders would want,
resulting in Super7’s products being recognized by fans as original, unique,
and most of all genuine. www. super7store.com

“Star Wars on the Betamax was the gateway to my
Geekdome. At age six, I was already hooked. The pencil
was my weapon of choice as I began to draw my favorite
characters, illustration quickly became a lifestyle. As an
adult, not much has changed. My passion for illustration
and design have led me down my current path, where I
met Chaz Gray, Obi Wan Kenobi and Co-Founder of Geek
Fuel. Thanks to Chaz and the entire team at Geek Fuel, I am
able to master my craft for the greater good of the Force. ”

THE HEART OF
A LOOK INSIDE AN EPIC COMIC EVENT
8/15/2019 Geek Guide
13/24
We are proud to present a first look
inside THE VALIANT #1–the FIRST
ISSUE of a new four-part mega series
format beginning in December 2014
from New York Times best-selling
writers Jeff Lemire (Green Arrow,
Animal Man) Matt Kindt (RAI, UNITY,
Mind MGMT), and Eisner
Award-winning artist Paolo
Rivera (Daredevil).
A battle ten millennia in the making
is about to begin with the Eternal
Warrior, yet again taking up the
charge of protecting Earth againstgreat peril and a quite familar foe.
A master of countless weapons and
long forgotten martial arts, he is
guided by the Geomancers – those
who speak for the Earth. During his
long watch, the Eternal Warrior has
failed three times. Each time, a
Geomancer was killed…and a newdark age for humanity began. Each
time, he was unable to stop The
Immortal Enemy, a monstrous force
of nature. This civilization killer has
lead waste to countless numbers of
people over the course of time.
A horror that appears differentlyeach time it arrives…and whose
seemingly only purpose is to bring
disorder and darkness to the world.
Now, the time has come for The
Immortal Enemy to return once
more. But, this time, the Eternal
Warrior will be ready.
This time, he has a force greater
than any single warrior. This time,
he has…THE VALIANT.
The entirely self-contained, reader
friendly comic event spotlights
a redesigned format, which is easier
for newer Valiant fans to fall in love
with. And what a smorgasbord they
will have to choose from between
the folds of this mamoth installment.
We can’t wait to add all four issues
of this mega series to our already
overflowing Valiant collection.If you haven’t taken the time to
get to know the Valiant canon this
will definitely be the comic that gets
you hooked.
