Working on a DARPA grant with a Sandia Laboratories spin-off company, we researched toy industry sources to provide low-cost platforms for special function robots that employed proprietary swarm technology for military and humanitarian (de-mining) use.
We researched then purchased the Ideal Doll trademark, "Toni," and licensed it to Robert Tonner for a successful 4 year program.
We worked with Mattel and the Danbury Mint to secure a contract, complete product development and obtain approval for two collector edition stamp programs featuring the US Postal Service's commemorative stamps.
First with Tyco Toys, then with Mattel, we initiated and negotiated the direct mail program creating porcelain commemoratives of the Ideal Doll inventory. We assisted product development and obtained approvals as well.
This program ran an unprecedented six+ years and garnered many awards and much special mention.
