The idea is not that bad. But need to make more sense on it.

Yes that’s my real name. I ;ove the idea. I have two girls who love fantasy play and interacting or extending the play online. I showed them this idea and they thought it was “cool” and “that is something I would want”, “turtles are cute”.

There is a lot of sameness out there and I am not inspired to buy whats on the market. This stands out and really uses kids’ imaginatins.

Maybe internet sales is the place to start. Could he create the story line (a book) and a sample to a retailer to get their feedback

Best of luck, my girsl will keep looing for the Fabulous turtles

The “wishing” thing is timeless and appeals to everyone in every generation. I got goosebumps reading about “wishing” – what’s with that?! Whatever. Wishing wins.

Turtles – why not? It sort of doesn’t matter who’s doing the wishing.

It would be great if “real” girls could interact not only with their Sensational Turtle Girl but also interact safely with other “real” girls who have chosen the same Sensational Turtle Girl. They’d love that!

I like this idea.

The shells look like really cool backpacks. I’m sure my daughter would want one of those for school! As far as them being reptiles, I don’t think little girls will think about that…as long as they are cute. But there probably needs to be some good back story to the whole idea. Are there books to go along with it?

The wishing coin is a nice touch; I see having that interactive component could potentially extend the ‘play’ life of the doll and allow a “world” to be created around it – taking the place of an animated show.

However, I am confused on the name, particularly the inclusion of Turtles? Why are they, The Sensational Turtle Girls? With the wishing coin I can some what see the validity of the claim sensational, but why turtles? Do reptiles on a whole appeal to girls, which I see as the target audience? This is confusing me….

I think the doll could work, but it is a rough concept that still requires some polishing.

It is a cute idea. I like the wishing coin and the online world but you have to remember you will be competing with WebKinz.

I would buy this doll for my daughter, the concept is cute.

The idea is cute but I don’t really think it is all that new. From my first impression of the sketch, I thought it was a Bratz doll (the hands were the only thing that made it look different). Also, could the names be any more obviously taken directly from TMNT. The idea of the wishing coin is different but I can see that coin getting lost too easily and not being replaceable.
