Fat Brain Toys and Brad Owen scoop UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner WITTY Prize for Air Toobz

Fat Brain Toys and inventor Brad Owen have won the WITTY Prize at this year’s UK Toy Inventors’ Dinner for their air-powered building toy, Air Toobz.
Inaugurated in 2013, the WITTY (which stands for Winning Inventor Toy of The Year) is presented to the inventors of a product introduced in the preceding year and judged by event attendees to be the most exciting and inventive.
Other products in contention included the likes of Hasbro’s Atomix, University Games’ Irritable Vowels and Identity Games’ The Traitors.
