supported by the sources provided. Look at the "Talk 'n Play" section. First sentence "In 1984, he created Talk 'n Play (also called
Electronic Talk'n Play)." claimed to be supported by a wordpress blog (not a reliable source) that does not even mention Freeman. The second cite states "Our promoted brands group was again led by Kenner, in part due to the continued enthusiasm for its Littlest Pet Shop(R) and Jurassic Park(TM) items, while Hasbro Toy, after a difficult period during the year, began to see an up-turn in several of its products, including Tonka's Talk 'N Play Fire Truck(TM) and The Real Power Tool Shop(TM).

so I think that wordpress blog source is okay? The unattributed quote must go. The Hasbro mention hmm well it was not the same toy really so that could go. I'm not seeing a language problem there in the most recent unstubbied version. I'm going to clean that up and
