The Beginnings of PLAYGE

I was wondering how PLAYGE came about as a brand? I noticed in the 'about' section it is a partnership with THREEZERO, similar to ThreeA. Did the creative minds take ideas to THREEZERO and receive funding, or was PLAYGE already and established brand before it went to threezero? Is playge responsible for all production/design work while threezero helps with distribution, or are they more intertwined? I'm just curious how it all started up and some of the troubles they had in starting an designer art toy brand.

Apologies in advance if this is already explained somewhere.

And what's the deal with jamungo?

This too. Or maybe just an explanation about the structure of jamungo/playge since I'm not entirely sure if they refer to different brands or just different toy lines.
Even if it was sarcasm, lol.

Hopefully this interview will shed some light

Jamungo was around first. Jamungo made the BUDs/NADEs, Crappy Cat, Squbes, and the early Squadts. Squabes and Squadts are now under the Playge banner along with Misfortune Cats and some other stuff. Other than some custom painted BUDs, Jamungo hasn't been very active in the last couple years.

Not at all. A generally inquiry asked in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.
