Then we wondered if we could make a doll that could roll over, stand up, and walk, and we created Baby Get up and Go, shown at Toy Fair along with Somersault Sara but never shipped out to stores. Each year we posed several challenges to ourselves: “I wonder if I can make a doll do . . .”  and each year for about five years we created doll and plush mechanisms that did more and more.

Each one was a new, patented mechanism. (We have the tooling for some of these dolls if anyone out there might be interested) Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we were delighted (no, not really) when we learned that somewhere in China someone is making and selling our Baby Go Boom doll, unlicensed, unauthorized, and of course, uncompensated. Because of that we cannot license the doll to anyone outside of the US - they can simply buy it cheaper from some pirate vendor. Har, har, har, why shiver me timbers - Foiled again!
