They collaborate with other indie creators in a community-minded way. In fact, the fisting toy CeelCee Dragon’s Unarmed Strike was cast by ShopDad and CeelCee at the 2024 AltStar Expo and AltStar Awards and Wandering Bard stepped up to actually make it into a product.

Not only this, but this year Wandering Bard collaborated with us both to continue last year’s new category to the AltStar Awards, to acknowledge the contributions of 3D Asset Design artists who are such an important part of the indie toy creation process and also to specially recognize Best Size Queen (Size Royalty). We love their attitude and are excited to have their support.

The 2026 AltStar Awards will be announced live in person on June 14 at Bizarre Bar in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District at 1301 S Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89104. Official convention hotel room block has closed, but there is tons of info on the four day long celebration (June 11 & 12 Industry VIP AltStar Expo days, June 13 Community Fan Appreciation Day, June 14 AltStar Awards) at AltStarExpo.com and schedule incoming and tickets to the AltStar Expo and AltStar Awards are still available. (Nominees and press, please use the contact form to get your free Industry VIP ticket code.)
