Well, many of these won't have that same level of professional background and plus those KS and GFM ventures are more direct targeted while this is has wider audiences. And those projects are also doing the testing on their own dime, whereas this will be footing the bill for those regulations testing. Different markets too with different kind of restrictions since this will be major retailers as opposed to the direct sales of internet marketing that may not have some of those same restrictions.

They also gotta see how the profit margins go for the first year, so they know profit projections for following years in how much room they have to increase prizes. So if the show does well, and whatever toys come out of it at mattel, and if they do well, you could see an increase in the show to attract more contestants.

I didn't mean to sound like I wasn't interested. I like the idea and will tune in, I just think the cash amounts are a bit meager (and who am I? - not a toy-making exec, that's for sure). However, maybe my perspective is too skewed toward an action figure line. A reimagining of the Frisbee or Pet-Rock (being flippant, of course ), wouldn't cost as much to develop. As I said, I'll definitely be tuning in to see how things turn out...and like you, I hope it does well.
