Now stilts are in stock.
It's finally managed to get released 2500 pair of stilts, and they are now in our stock.
To ensure that the product is error free, we decided to check all stilts before being dispatched to customers why there can be little turnaround time.
Further, we have to ensure a stable supply in the future, opted to move production to a second and larger factory. The factory also located in Vietnam.
Sincerely,

Our long awaited and missed Stilts from Vietnam are long in coming .
The factory has persistent technical problems and it is unfortunately not managed to get the first delivery clear and home to the Christmas shopping season as expected.
I am sorry we can not say anything exact about a new delivery date.
We very much regret the long wait and the inconvenience it may cause our customers.
Best regards Soren Eriksen

Actoy has during more than one year been working with development and new production of the popular product "Actoy-stilts".
The design and materials are updated and have resulted in a beautiful and modern stilt.
Manufacturing takes place in Vietnam on a partly Danish-owned factory.
Delivery was set for the end of September 2010
Due to technical problems during manufacturing, the supply is unfortunately delayed, and we now expect to receive the first shipment in early December.
We very much regret the long wait and the inconvenience it may cause our customers.
Best regards Soren Eriksen.

We have now accomplished a transformation of the old Design & Production and brought it into the daylight through the opening of this new web-page.
A new name – “ACTOY” – with the subtitle – “activity to you” – underlines the fact that we are focusing even more intensely on our goal, which is meaningful and challenging activity, primarily for the children in the playground.
The new feature of ACTOY is a distinct priority of the ethical and environmental aspects. This has required that all products and suppliers have been thoroughly checked. An exhaustive process has been started, and is will continue as long as there are conditions which can be improved (as will always be the case).
The basis of the transformation is a case of plagiarism approximately one year ago. The Spanish firm “Galaxia Malabares” sold imitations of our excellent stilts. The firm is now marketing a rather poor counterfeit product. And that’s not all – another firm – Witzem Industrial Co, in China – followed suit and has offered cheap imitations of our own product to some of our distributors. Despite the great work of our solicitors and advisers, it was decided this last autumn, that we will not let such cases eat up all our economical and personal resources. We will concentrate on the jobs we do best – namely the development and production of quality products. We will leave the bootleg copies behind in the competition by delivering the real goods!
This case has prompted a complete new design of the stilt-series. At this very moment we are working on a solution, which will result in a product, which is technically and qualitatively improved as well as being ecologically sustainable.
Tightening up our common values has proven to be a most interesting and meaningful task, giving us a more clear picture of which way we must direct ACTOY. This is now being done in what looks like a quantum leap. From being a rather anonymous “Design & Production”, we are now ready to put forward ACTOY and our products clearly and determinedly. We are looking forward to an exciting and active future.
