  14. Mr.Atoz I am interested in Raggedy Ann
  15. Biker488 I will help. Probably I'll help with Sillybandz, Webkinz, and board games.
  16. Bebe Jumeau I have an academic art/cultural history professional background and think that this perspective should be featured as well as collector and baby boom nostalgic perspectives. I also think that dolls and girls toys get overlooked in discussions around toys - I have been making small comments to the doll pages for a number of years - and started some of the antique doll pages, but still not entirely got my head around serious heavy Wikipedia cultural protocols and behaviors - so excuse me
  17. LunaHunting – I love toys, do you?
  18. Wikieditor2258 - I'm interested in the Rubix cube, tinker toys, and types of stuffed animals, but i'll be fine with anything.
  19. Guy Macon - Former Barbie Engineer / Mattel employee gone consultant; specialty is high-volume low-cost electronics found in toys. Also interested in mathematical aspects of Rubik's Cube.
  20. Dpaajones - Local to me is the Merrythought factory in Ironbridge, England; I have just expanded the article substantially.
  21. Bulldog73 - My main focus will be the Pillow Pets article, though I have already expanded on it. I want to get it promoted to GA status.
  22. Manon van Mil - Currently starting up an article on Caleb Chung, the creator of Furby and Pleo. After that following a lead from a TED talk feat. Cynthia Breazeal of Personal Robotics Group on the growing field of interactive games/toys, also relevant to Chung! We'll see where it goes. @LunaHunting - yes.
  23. Fortdj33 - Primarily G.I. Joe and Transformers related articles.
  24. Areaseven - Primarily Nerf, Transformers and most Japanese toys.
  25. BeerAlchemist - I am interested in designer toys. I attended Toy Fair in 2012, where they had a whole section dedicated to specialty toys and so I feel it is an important subject to include. I will put together a list of the representative toys to help improve upon the designer toys article and I will work on working it into the general toy projects organization. Please let me know if you have ideas or input.
