We took the train to London at 6.30am so it was a really early and tiring start. From there we took the underground to the Docklands Light Railway, which had no driver so you could sit right at the front which was good.

The train took us straight to the toy fair in Excel. When we entered the fair we saw a massive Lego sculpture of a dinosaur it was like three or four times the size of Air 1. There were loads of people dressed up in costumes of cartoon characters walking around talking to children and taking the pee out of people which was funny.

We got given our passes by one of the Corgi reps, then we got changed in the toilets and went to the Corgi stall.

We were demonstrating a brilliant new product - a white car with neon lights that was also an ipod dock. To advertise this we got free white tee-shirts with logos saying “Exos” . We danced for about half an hour non-stop doing a series of links and routines we had put together. which was quite tiring. We then had a short break, had something to drink. We looked at the company’s other products, such as a product called “paint my ride” which was a little man figure and pimped car that when you pressed down on the man figure’s head a light comes out, and if you shine that light on the car for long enough the car starts to change colour so you can graffiti on the car.

We went back to our stall for some more dancing and had several short breaks throughout the day. We danced for a long time, and reps of the other companies saw us and were very impressed. Curious George demonstrated his back flip and AirOne held his pike for ever!

One special person was even interested in joining SIN Cru and it turned out to be Boba Fett in real life!

On the way out we had a short look at everything else in the toy fair. Curious George and AirOne played a game called Ball Twister. You had to move the ball around different parts of your body and if you drop the ball you had to eat a dead cricket. Curious dropped the ball and had to eat a dead cricket. Laughs!

Just as we were leaving, Jamie and Anna who present Toonattik on CITV, stopped us. Jamie heard we were B-Boys and wanted to battle. He did a backflip but landed on his head so Curious showed him how to do it properly and suggested that Jamie kept his arms straight next time!

Then victorious, we returned to the Docklands Light Railway station to find our way back to Kings Cross to catch the train back to Cambridge.

The day was very successful and both Curious and AirOne gained a lot of experience. People who attended the fair loved their performances and the two of them repped impressively for the JNR Sinstars.
