Toy Company Word Association
dst...@privatei.com
I was on my way back from a business trip today and got to thinking
about the different toy companies and how other people view them (not
much else to do driving through Nebraska).
If you could describe the following toy companies (and their respective
lines, if listed) in one or two words *only*, what would it/they be?
1. Kenner (Star Wars)
2. Kenner (Batman/Superman)
3. Hasbro (GI Joe)
4. McFarlane Toys (Spawn)
5. McFarlane Toys (Monsters)
6. Playmates (Star Trek)
7. Toy Biz (Spider Man)
8. Toy Biz (X-Men)
9. Moore Action Collectibles
This should be interesting.
