Let's not forget the frowned upon...
Mahal™, Inc. created their ripoff of the Barbie™, called the Gimlie™. These short, hairy figures did not please the head of Mattel™. He threatened a lawsuit, but the Gimlies™ exploded in popularity almost overnight and have become a good companion seller for the Legolas™ Barbie™, which incidentally also received a raise in popularity. The head of Mattel™ eventually bought out Mahal™, Inc. and mass-produced the Gimlie™.
One of the original seven prototypes, DurKen™, sold on eBay™ for a whopping $45,000™.
I'd buy an Oddwen™ Barrow-downer. Pull a string, and she'll say something disparaging about Orlando Bloom, herself, her job, or Mike! Then she'll say something wildly mildly amusing! And she'll start mumbling about who knows what, and won't stop until you run over her with your car!
