On Dec.05.2006 at 10:48 PMThe FAO toy idea struck me as neat initially. But upon further consideration, it's actually an unforunately literal interpretation of children's non-literal representations of ideas and things. I'm pretty sure that when kids draw, many of them see their imagined creatures, not just the lines they put on paper.
But I guess there's no way to make money on that.
