March 2006

Greetings Gwin fans! March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Well, we don’t have any lambs, but we do have Gwins! This March update is a little later than usual because it’s been super busy around the Gwin cave. Don’t miss Okkle, this month’s Super Awesome Gwin Artist, and remember to stop by the forums (www.octobertoys.com/forum) and say hi!

The SAGA continues… The March Super Awesome Gwin Artist is none other than Okkle! He is a UK based artist who creates fantastically cute creatures and amazing custom toys. He likes: Jellybeans, Purple, Pizza, Ice Cream, Monsters and Wierd Creatures, Doodling, Gaming, Films, Animation, Art. Check out the one of a kind, custom vinyl Gwins he has created at www.GwinArmy.com/saga/okkle.php Two of his Gwins (Dino and Flake) are currently available on eBay. Visit www.GwinArmy.com for more info and to bid on these beautiful Gwins. Don’t forget that the proceeds from these auctions will be donated to wildaid.org, so be generous!

T-shirt design contest… We’re still busy making toys, so we’re passing the work off to you! There is no official template (so as not to restrict your creative process). You can just send images labeled front, back, pocket... whatever ...we're flexible. Enter as many designs as you like! Deadline for all entries is March 31, 2006. For complete details, please visit www.GwinArmy.com What amazing new shirt designs can you create?

Miscellaneous news… - Fiend’s custom Pink and Green Gwins are still available at www.GwinArmy.com/saga/fiend.php - There is still one custom available from January SAGA Christie. Grab “White Trash Gwin” before he leaves the October Toys trailer park forever! www.GwinArmy.com/saga/christie.php - We are sold out of small size “Penguin’s life for me!” shirts, but still have adult sizes medium through xx-large!

Thanks again for supporting October Toys and helping make SAGA a success!
