of teddy bear toy success theories and 123klan's teddy trooper

i reckon the most appealing part of a bear-toy (and what makes it "successful" as a design) is it's nose/snout/whatchamacallit-region, and how it is defined (in vinyl-form); the cuteness of it, that you'd wanna snuggle with, nose-kiss with, pinch it, on-and-on (besides the prerequisite chubby belly and stubby-limbs ;p) ... and tho i have (sadly) neither a single Teddy Trooper in my collection (in any size), i reckon it's nose should be given credit for a design done well, IMHO :)

and the upcoming 123Klan-designed 10"-er Teddy Trooper [via] helps make it a sweeter design, IMHO - designed by Scien + Klor of 123Klan and produced by adFunture [via] - look for it in November ... i wonder why no one has since made a full plush-version of Teddy Troopers tho, how about with a vinyl-helmet? = make killing, it would (IMHO), as well as crossover to the plush/furry-bear collectible market, innit? *heh*
