Oh, Tricky, look! We're both in that photograph that Minibyte took! Now there is PROOF that some of us toyz come alive and those books aren't just silly children's stories.
Shhh, Tiff.. Somebody is coming in... maybe we better jump back onto the shelf before they see us.
Naw, it's OK. They will know the truth when they see the picture anyway.
Welcome to our playroom, real life person! I am Tiffany, a Fuzzie, and that cute raccoon over there is Tricky, my Fuzzie friend. Chi hexed us special for Minibyte! She thought we were so cute that she put us in charge of the playroom and asked us to keep it neat and clean. That's pretty easy during the day, but at night, when the children are asleep, some of the toyz come to life and make a real mess scattering toy cars and planes and balls all over the place....
What? you don't believe that? Don't you do any reading? The Velveteen Rabbit came to life. Then there was Pinocchio and don't forget the toy dinosaurs that Sammy found in the attic. They came to life when he named them! And there was Corduroy, the department store teddy bear who went in search of a lost button and the porcelain doll people who meet a new family of plastic dolls. Oh, there are lots of reports about toys coming to life. Just do a search at a library and you will see what I mean. And if you STILL aren't convinced, take a look at that picture up there. Minibyte grabbed a camera and snuck in one night to get proof for you disbelievers!
If you are looking for new toyz, this is the place! It's a playroom, and that's where toyz can be found. There weren't a whole lot of hexed toyz before Nick developed Tinker. There are only a few toyz that can be edited in a way similar to hexing breed or clothes files. The rest were made with images in a filmstrip sort of thing which has to be extracted. Then the images in the strip have to be separated, each image has to be edited and, then the whole thing has to be patched back together and put back into the toy file. It used to be a complicated and tedious process. WHEW! Most people didn't even want to try! Now, however, Tinker combined with a paint program makes things much easier and we are beginning to see new toyz!! As Minibyte adds new Archives she will list any toyz in them here so you can find them easily. Have fun with them! |
