However the team of judges consisting of Crazy Label, Vinyl Pulse, Toysrevil, Toy Break and UrbanRetro, have managed to decide on what the 10 best designs are. The 10 designs are up here for all to see and If you have won make sure you drop us your delivery address to receive your DIY Tamo toys. For the rest of you that entered thanks so much for getting involved and we hope you take part in future competitions.
