We are hustling to do all our follow-up from the many meetings we had at toyfair earlier this week - video presentations to assemble, prototypes to check and repair for shipment to companies around the world for review and evaluation. In some cases, entirely new concepts came out of the conversations during a meeting.
I love the work that we do, the processes of building, testing, experimenting, the surprise moments of discovery, the imaginative thinking and the act of creation. I revel in the art and science, as well as craft of toy design. I am often delighted and at times amazed at the new actions, technologies, and play patterns that arise from our work. And it is likely that you have already been amazed and delighted by some of our products that have been brought to market. And you will be again, by our new products and technologies now in development that have yet to reach toy shelves.
I love building things. As a child I spent hours in the basement working side by side with my father, who built and repaired all manner of things in his workshop, as well as repaired radios, TVs, and other electronics for others, earning a little extra on the side for his family. To this day I love tools and equipment, mills and lathes, chips on the floor, and the chaos that results each day from the process of machining and building our prototypes.
While I was away at Toy Fair, we took delivery on a newly rebuilt Hardinge lathe, the Cadillac of lathes. Cleaned up and painted our signature yellow, she is a beaut.
So we build, repair, pack up and ship out full of hope that some of these many concepts will be well received by the many companies we work with and find their way onto store shelves in 2010 and beyond. Onward and upward, the best is yet to come.
