A method of adding utility to stuffed or plush toys by the addition of
common transportable items. Adding this utility broadens the market for
these transportable items as well as the stuffed or plush toy by
expanding the range of age groups to which the finished product will
appeal. Via the use of a standardized product holder interface panel,
items that are usually carried about such as CD discs, photographs,
stationery items, food items, etc. may be attached to the interface panel
either directly or by means of a product holder. The interface panel in
turn is attached in an aesthetically pleasing manor to the toy via the
use of a secondary assembly. In this embodiment of the invention the
secondary assembly is attached to the stomach area to accentuate the
girth of the finished item. In another embodiment it is attached to the
posterior to accentuate the size of the posterior; in either case adding
to the aesthetic appeal of the finished product. By adding this utility
to an item usually evaluated from an aesthetic standpoint only, the user
enjoys benefits of efficiency and economy. By using a standardized
product holder interface panel the manufacturer enjoys economy of
flexibility and inventory management.
