This is amazing, so stoked this is happening! This is so great for us, we have so much potential here in S.A., I hope this opens loads of doors for more locally manufactured toys and designers on a mission to create toys!I would love to do something like this, thought my only hope was a 3D printer ;P
Yay for SA!

First can you add a pic of it without a cloud over it to the library. Secondly if you have any information you want to add to a news post that isn't covered on the just let me know at news@trampt.com :)

Also, nice job on the piece. My only feedback would a larger version, though I personally have a thing against smallish toys. :)

Apparently this is NOT the first locally produced toy in south Africa. The other contender is the Bizmoggi. What do those from South Africa have to asy about it?

lana v Saw those actually, read a blog piece about an exhibition at Frida's - a local restaurant, went to check it out, and at the back of the restaurant, behind a table of customers were 3 Bizmoggi dudes. i wasn't impressed, more a display than exhibition. But rad on SA, 2 locally produced toys! about 12 years ago

Congratulations! I hope this does well. Does a walking keg have any cultural ties or is it just a cool design?
