Hi, nstickney, I don't blame you for not believing. Hopefully, I'll be vindicated in 5-10 years.
Here's a thought. The number of toy developers working in a toy company versus the billions of outside people, which side is more likely to come up with a new concept? The employees usually update the same toy with a twist like... scientist Barbie, teacher Barbie, pregnant Barbie... while the outsider has to break into the market with something new.
Since the folks were agreeing to the idea that it was unimaginable, I only decided to respond. Hey, isn't it a good thing that a new toy could be on the horizon?
