nothing about the toy industry when they started their company in 2005. it didn t start as a planned business. they were holding down big jobs in the fashion industry and planning an upcoming birthday party. 15 boys coming to spend the weekend. i realized friday night that i forgoto get par favors. beaver sat down and turned 15 pieces of pvc pipe into tiny, homemade marshmallow shooting blowgun party favors. it was a huge hit with the kids. that didn t surprise kim as much as what happened with the marshmallow blowers after the party ended. when the parents came to pick them up, they were having as much fun as the kids. this got them excited enough to dream big and get help to develop lots of new shooter designs.
