Most of the toys we're making right now are #skypirates
Why Sky pirates?
Because Sky Pirates are full of revolutionary joy!
In the 1910s and in to the 1920s, in the build up of to and the wake of the first world war, the air was full of revolutionary energy. Anarchists and socialists were tossing bombs and setting fires. Against that backdrop, man was heading for the skies.
From Zeppelins to The Wright Flyer, everyone was racing in to the skies.
And those two ideas got mixed up in people's heads. Suddenly literature and film were full of stories of anarchists bombing from zeppelins, of Great Men flying to Mars in their blimps.
So we're making Sky Pirates, and we're publishing Sky Pirate literature and films. (Things like #filibus and The Pirates of 1920)
And we're making Sky Pirate toys.
And we're writing stories, and computer games, about people who fly through the skies smashing factories and living free.
