392:. There is a rather impressive list of sources at the bottom of the article, but they all look like fansites, primary sources, or comprehensive catalogs. Much like All Media Guide is not used to establish notability for music-related topics and comprehensive film guides are not used to establish notability for films, I would argue that comprehensive toy catalogs can not be used to establish notability for toys. The rest of the sources are self-published or don't actually discuss the toy/character.
277:: the Colonel predictably links to not an independent book that discusses this thing in-depth, but rather a catalog and pricelist of products. One cannot deduce notability from such a book, or from the in-universe books and manuals referenced in the article, since such books automatically, by virtue of what they are, list everything: that's their job.
281:, in this and the other cases I'd be fine with a redirect, of course. The redirect isn't as simple as the Colonel makes it out to be (and the Colonel is on a spree of reversing the redirects I've made, without explanation or so much as a by-your-leave), since there are a lot of different targets and I'd rather leave that to the experts.

I wouldn't mind a redirect (though I don't know where), but as an article this cannot stand. A bunch of blogs and catalogs don't establish notability--the most relevant real-world fact, with some kind of verification, is that someone named their dog after this toy.
