1) This was the concept that appealed to me the most when I first saw it. I think it can turn out to be both fun and collective, and I also think that it'll be really simple to put together as well. The only problem I see is how portable this toy is. In the literal sense of "portable", it's easy to take with you, but how many people our age are actually going to do that? The most they'll take with them is probably the soccer ball after a while.
ReplyDelete2) I really think this idea is adorable, and I wouldn't mind having one of these for myself actually. It seems a bit geared towards girls though (I can't see many guys carrying this around), but that's okay. The reason why I think this concept works is because it makes the pen into a toy. Most people click pens habitually anyway, and this is a cute added feature. Not quite sure how it can be made though.
3) I get how this game works, but I don't really get how the mouse itself works. Again, I doubt people are willing to carry this around (this is a sore point for most toys we do play with), and it seems more like a game for young kids instead. I think that the mouse itself could be more exciting on its own than having the mouse holes actually.
4) You decided on this concept last Wednesday right? Of all your concepts, I think that this is one of your stronger ones as well. However, I've seen many of these kinds of draw-on-washable things from dolls to shirts, and this doesn't feel that "new". I think that a lot of this concept is going to have to weigh heavily on the actual packaging to make it sell so that people don't see until much later how basic the idea of this is. You're going to have to make the entire frame washable though -- as in, you can't have cloth wrapped around a material that will warp or become brittle from a a lot of washing.
5) This was a really cute idea as well. It's hilarious and silly, and I can see people of all ages playing with this. Unfortunately, I can see people hitting themselves in the face with the parachute man. The see-saw will have to be pretty powerful in order for the man to get enough height to use his parachute, unless it's done from high up to begin with.
