Awesome! Thanks Mike!

Thanks again!
We did 4, the monkey toy went home before we could do the group video, Alphie the Alphabot crapped out, and the horse only got disassembled.
Last name is “Rees” when you get the chance =).

This was an awesome concept & idea.
I know some folks involved.
P.s That Goodwill in Seattle looked like it had the goods.
I wish i saw a selection of toys like that here in L.A.
Gotta look more!
