With Kate just arriving back from her Adventures across the pond, we thought we’d show you what she’s been up to over the past week!
She started off the week at the London Toy Fair, before jetting off to Nuremberg, Germany, for the biggest toy fair in the world! Next stop was New York City for yet another Toy Fair, before heading to a very cold Minnesota, Minneapolis. With a short stopover in Chicago, we finally have Kate back in the Advocate offices! Welcome back, Kate!

We’ve been extremely busy at Advocate this week getting our 2013 edition of the Heads Up calendar and agency book sent out! The offices have been looking a lot like Santas workshop, with hundreds of boxes to fold and pack, it’s all been very hectic!
The calendar features plenty of wonderful work from our artists throughout 2012, with lots of inspiration to get you through the new year!

This week’s Warrior of the Week is: Dargo the Deadly. Once a fortnight the hills ’round the Golden City tremble with a great rumbling roar. This is a reminder to all who dare try to breach the king’s coffers that they are guarded by the great red dragon, Dargo. At tournament he will use his claws and fiery breath against any weapon that shall be brandished against him, and he does it all in the name of the King. He stands at 10’0″ and weighs 1 ton. His searing hot breath is his most valuable weapon.
‘These flames of duty can both warm and wound.’ – Dargo the Deadly

Often accompanied by his trusted falcon, relentless, Sir Madawc will stop at nothing short of victory! He stands at 5’8″, and weighs 152 lbs, his strength on the battlefield come from his speed and agility and his 100% focus on victory!
