WHERE CAN I BUY ONE OF THESE TOYS?

Comments: for our first trip out the San Diego Comic Convention back in 2004, I brought along a surprise... A couple dozen Caveman Robot dolls. It turns out that they were a pretty big hit and I learned a few things: 1. That I could mass produce toys of this manner, 2. People who wouldn't even open the front cover of the comic would buy a doll, 3. I should have made more, and 4. We should have charged more for them.
After the show, there was a big comic release party for the book in New York. Because of their success Mr. Bell was more than interested in getting more dolls, so he asked for the pattern. Since then, he and various helpers of his have made their own version of this doll. Regardless of who makes them, theyare always a big hit. At each event that they appear at, we leave thinking we needed to make more.
Status: A few samples of the original version are safely stored away in the Nerfect Worldwide North American Archives. Versions of this toy are available from the Caveman Robot website.
