Collection of toy projects

I'm currently working on a pirate card game, another 4 vinyl toys and a giant pirate jigsaw puzzle (sneaky peak below).
I have several projects that are currently being manufactured including pirate swords, balloons and a temporary tattoo.
I'll update this project as they come online.
Thanks for checking out this project - all appreciations and comments are truly appreciated:))
