I don’t know if anyone has heard but one of Mattel’s trusted factories (that shall remain nameless that Hasbro also uses) that also makes medical equipment for cutting edge science experiments is building a Fall exclusive for Mattel. The owner of the factory (that will stay nameless) is planning to make a Half Dinosaur half Alligator with the DNA of a frog hybrid. He is going to sell the Dino-Gator and sell it to Mattel (with Try Me) for a late Fall 2017 TV Driver. Marketing loves the idea but can’t agree on a color yet, they are quoted as saying “The challenge is the color green feels like low hanging fruit”. The Dino-Gator is 47 feet long and weighs over 600 pounds(bad idea). Mattel would like to do a in store display but are puzzled on how to ship without the Dino-Gator dyeing, Engineering has recommended to ship it cold. Both MZ, LD and MP have seen the Dino-Gator and have all said “In a breath - this is amazing, better than the coffee makers we use to have”. They plan to unveil/reveal the Dino-Gator at HK and NYC Toy Fair. Mattel is hoping it will cut sales of Hasbro’s Easy Bake oven and Discovery’s Sharp Week. If this happens it will be detrimental to the toy industry, mankind and the people at Toy Fair. I urge everyone to bring this up with HR and your director. Only we have no power but together we can be an army of one.

Ynon just inked a deal to bring Dino-Gator to the big screen. Internet sensation and alien authority Giorgio Tsoukalos has been signed to star in the big-budget flick. The potential market for supporting toys is staggering. Play patterns include traditional male action, Cosplay, conflict, and hair play.
Wait I'm confused - is Dino-Gator alive or plastic? God I hope it's not another FP wood property that included clear plastic.
Dino-gator should be worked into every one of our properties: thomas and the dino-gator escape! imagine the playset, dino-gator MH offspring, barbie rape cave dino-gator playset... the concepts are endless gold for success!!
This concept was already done by DV ) DRex lives Matter.
I hear DTC will include a Dino-Gator of the year book.

I'd heard the Dino-Gator project had been shelved, so glad to hear they're still moving forward with it.
the cost reductions would make it 8" figure without articulation and about as aggressive and cutting edge as the rest of the fp friends design/marketing team.
This is obviously not true. FP Friends only does licensed items, I'm pretty sure Dino-Gator is a license.

If we were going to do this we would NOT make it that big. We're totally not doing this but if we were it would be smaller but we would totally rock it. That's protected information BTW so I don't know who you are but you will get in big trouble!
you sir are a moron
