You’re sure they wanted it to look like this?

Yes.

Because I don’t know if they really wanted…

It looks fine!

It’s kinda… squat.

Melina, it’s a line of pug toys.

Toys for pugs?

Toys based on pugs.

Oh, good, because pugs would never play with this.

But as such, pugs tend to be rather…

Barrel shaped?

Exactly. So often the toys might look squat. Because pugs are.

Hmm. All right, so what is it supposed to do?

Well, they wanted kind of a G.I. Joe approach to pugs.

Uhm?

Like a pug in a wetsuit, a pug with a flight suit, and so on. All sorts of pugs doing non-pug things.

Ahhh, sure, why the hell not.

Right on.

So what does it do?

Well I thought about making a normal action figure but that seemed too bland.

Of course it did.

So I added a cheap voice chip and now they make pug noises but also say things.

The pugs talk?

They are Action Pugs, of course they talk.

What do they even say?

Well the fireman pug says things like “Don’t worry, I’ll save you!” and “Wow I wish I was a Dalmatian right about now!”

Who recorded these?

Me and a voice modulator.

You did the pug noises, too, didn’t you?

It’s surprisingly easy to fake pug noises.

I always thought they sounded like little demon accordions.

Ohh, let me write that down.

Demon accordion?

Possessed instruments. Designed to look like…

Got ya.

Could be worth trying. Anyway! The pug toys. You need to see how they hold up.

So you want me to sit here and make them snurfle and talk and drop them a lot?

And keep meticulous notes.

To me, my pug demons!

Meticulous notes!

I will, seriously. Wait, there’s Flight attendant pug?!

He says “Would you like another drink?” “Fasten your seatbelts.” and “I may not be an Air Marshal but I can take you down!” for kids wanting to play a more serious game.

All right, in my notes, first things, that pug has to go.

Hmph.

Yeah yeah, go get lunch. I got work to do.
