This article reads like an advert. For example, "The company sells electronic toys, games and learning aids featuring top-tier licensed brands" is exactly the kind of marketing gibberish you find in an investor publication, but not in anything designed to be read by real people.
Also, it makes no assertion of notability. This is important. Read WP:CORP and then read some articles on some notable toy manufacturers (try Mattel and Hasbro) and you'll get a better idea of what makes a good article.
Sorry if you're having a hard time with your first article... it often happens that way, but stick with it and... welcome. -- Dweller 16:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree that formatting in Wikipedia is tough for a newbie. I advise that for this article you get the content in and leave the formatting - either to others, or until you're done adding new content.
Better practise for the future is to create your article in a sandbox until you're satisfied it's a half-way decent article that won't get tagged as soon as you post it. -- Dweller 17:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Which "Toy of the Year" award, specifically, was this nominated for? And how easy is it to be nominated (can you just fill out a form yourself and then say, "hey, we've been nominated") -- Dweller 17:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The 'See also' section is for mainstream Wikipedia links which this is not. I also do not see the need for this link. External links are to validate statements not promote products. BlueValour 16:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
