QUOTE FROM MANAGEMENT:

"We crossed a number of major milestones in the second quarter of 2015, as we emerged from the development stage to the first significant commercial sales generated by our mobile-connected platform technology," said Spiral CEO, Mark Meyers. "Our first major multi-media advertising campaign generated a much greater than expected retail demand for CloudPets, resulting in more than a million units ordered from our distribution partner during the quarter. This has increased by more than 60% since quarter-end, driven by orders from new major retailers.

"During the quarter we also recognized a small amount of licensing fee revenue on the delivery of approximately 40,000 CloudPets to retailers. We expect these licensing fees, which are recognized as units are shipped to retailers, to increase substantially over the next few quarters as more CloudPets arrive on the shelves of major retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

"As our retail rollout continues to gain momentum, we are preparing for the fall launch of a second national television marketing campaign aimed at enhancing our CloudPets brand, increasing awareness of our CloudPets mobile app and further building retail demand as we head into the holiday season.

"Our recently updated CloudPets 2.0 mobile app has introduced new functionality and now allows for in-app purchases of interactive games, children's music, and other premium content. We expect to begin generating high-margin revenue from the sale of digital content in the second half of the year, as the sale of CloudPets brings in new mobile users, including children and parents alike.

"The success of CloudPets has encouraged the continued development of three new product lines that are based on our platform technology, a technology designed to create an interactive social media experience around physical consumer products. Two of these products are on track for launch in 2016, which will follow similar go-to-market strategies that made the rollout of CloudPets so successful.

"We are also evaluating opportunities to acquire additional titles and content that are complementary to our current mobile app offerings, and which furthers our broader mission of building a high-value, digital ecosystem of connected users."

Here's what I know is FACT - CloudPets are in the marketplace and selling for $29.99 or $39.99. I don't give a shit which. They're out there, they're real and they're selling. You can spout out all the theories that you want because here's another FACT - I'm making money off of this stock.

They have a large inventory in anticipation of the sales that will be generated throughout the Holiday season which is just beginning.
But let me get this straight - you're saying that they've cut prices because of the larger than planned inventory - or wait a minute; weren't you just saying that this company is a scam so in reality, they should have very little, if any inventory. Or is this company a scam with a large inventory. Hmmmmmm. I think I'll just stick to reality and continue to invest in STOY because they have a good product. GO STOY!!!!!

I can't speak for Warren but what I'm saying is that if they do cut the cost of the product by 25%, that is a GREAT move. Everybody wants a deal and by doing this they just opened up their market share to a huge number of new buyers. I can probably list hundreds if not thousands of products that are giving 25% discounts and more in order to secure the Christmas buyers. Have you ever heard of Black Friday. GREAT MOVE STOY!!!! Looking for great things to come out of this Christmas season.

Show me a company that comes out of the developmental stage with a viable product that shows a profit the first few years. If they do show a profit and don't take advantage of the opportunities to show a loss, they would be idiots.

It is my understanding that they will be focusing on only Cloudpets through this Holiday season, which is a good thing. They can launch any new products after the holidays. They have realized that at least for now, Cloudpets is their star.

I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon but it won't matter when the quality of their product sets and maintains the PPS. I'm sure that they'll be introducing new products once we get past the holidays.

While there are risks, mostly from competitors, I haven't seen anything that could take away from CloudPets. The stock is at support levels near $0.37-$0.40. As soon as the Christmas shopping season kicks in for kids toys, higher prices will be more sustainable. We should do well over the next few months.

Please feel free to give us minute to minute updates throughout the day but let's be fair about this. If your going to do that, please include any increases in the PPS. I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat with anticipation.

It's always a good thing when you can make someone smile. Have a great day

I'm good with that. Like I said before, I'm in this long. These daily ups and downs are part of the deal. You seem to be getting a lot of enjoyment out of it, though. Have you thought about taking up a hobby. :)

Yeah, that hurt for almost sixty seconds

I'm saying that a two year old CIVIL SUIT means absolutely nothing to me. Civil suits against officers of a public company are a way of life in the stock market, especially the OTC. Being named as "a defendant" doesn't carry any weight.

Don't worry. I couldn't pull up the link either. I suppose when a link is two years old, that's to be expected. Not to mention that it has nothing to do with STOY today or back then.

Really?
I won’t even address the allegations that you’re stating against employees or persons who work for or deal with this company that don’t have anything to do with this company’s current situation. When they’ve done something that adversely affects this company now, please let me know. I could list the stellar backgrounds of some of the other officers and employees of this company but you already know those. As far as the rest, have you contacted the CEO Mark Meyers and shared your concerns with him. Perhaps he can explain things to you. You can contact him at 800-598-6845
It is your OPINION that this is a scam and it is my OPINION that it is not. It’s doubtful that either one of us is going to change our mind. The truth will be in the holiday sales. Have a great day. Oh yeah, the stock went up today. Imagine that.

Please, give me a break. I've dealt with enough penny and sub penny scams to know that this IS NOT one of them and that's precisely the reason that I bought into this stock. I'm tired of the back stabbing and manipulation that goes hand in hand with the scams. Sorry if you lost money on this stock but that doesn't make it a scam and if it is a scam, it's the most elaborately played out scam that I ever seen. Lol

The brand is definitely becoming more recognized. The real indicator will be the holiday sales and they're already off to a great start.

I guess that I got on board with a great entry PPS

Just the beginning, my friend. More to come......

Shipments of Spiral Toys' Communications Modules for CloudPets Surpasses 1.3 Million Units

Shipments of Spiral Toys' Communications Modules for CloudPets Surpasses 1.3 Million Units

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 1, 2015) - Spiral Toys (OTCQB: STOY), a leading provider of mobile-connected, wireless entertainment technology, reported that shipments of the internal connected technology components that power the CloudPets(TM) interactive plush toy now totals more than 1.3 million units since the company launched its retail marketing campaign in April.

The low-energy Bluetooth-enabled communications modules represent the core of Spiral's unique, proprietary technology. Paired with the free CloudPet mobile app, the internally integrated component allows for a new kind of interactive toy experience. The modules were shipped to Spiral Toys' manufacturing and distribution partner for CloudPet final assembly and delivery to retailers in the U.S. and Canada.

CloudPet toy orders have now totaled more than 1.6 million units, with about 300,000 currently in the order fulfillment pipeline and earmarked for holiday season sales. To drive holiday demand, Spiral and its partners are rolling out a new marketing campaign on YouTube and national television, as well as through alternative digital media, like blogs. The new ads will feature adorable animated characters that bring CloudPets to life.

Spiral and its marketing partners developed the new campaign to build awareness of the individual CloudPet characters and increase the usage of the recently released 2.0 version of the CloudPets mobile app. The new version features "freemium" functionality that creates a highly engaging, interactive experience between the CloudPet plush toy, child and family members.

Updated features of the app include new animated stories, games and lullabies, as well as an improved user interface, making interaction even easier for families and children alike.

"Since the launch of CloudPets in April, we have made tremendous progress with our CloudPets connected toys," said Spiral Toys CEO Mark Meyers. "The strong reception we have seen from our customers has set the stage for what we anticipate to be a very strong holiday shopping season."

Spiral Toys also has several entirely new types of connected products that it plans to bring to market next year and in 2017.

There WERE lots of negative reviews all over...

EXACTLY!!!!!
Now that they've gotten the bugs out, they've been getting GREAT reviews!!!!

Sounds pretty good to me

Glad to be here! I figure I'll be around at least through the holidays with this one. They've got a decent television advertising budget for their CloudPets set aside and the retail market is opening up nicely for them. Should be a winner.

Got in at .37. Looking forward to being here for a while

I won't argue the point but I do want to extend my sympathy for your loss. I won't even pretend that I can understand what you must be going through. So sorry.

Sorry. I meant to continue and say that I doubt that you're lying.

you're either misinformed or lying and I

Please explain to me what I am missing on this "possible" offer because in the last few days we were touting a 10:1 share swap as acceptable and Frenchman went so far as to say that we may want to demand 2:1 although we all new that was unrealistic. Today we are cheering about a deal that would leave us holding all of our DKTS investment and telling us that we'll receive a disbursement of an unspecified amount of ISBG shares to be divided amongst the DKTS shareholders. Obviously this dispersement will come nowhere near what we would have gotten on a swap AND how much time and energy do you really think will be put into continuing to develop DKTS after this deal is done. Answer to that would be zero. We will essentially be left with a worthless shell. The only difference being we will have some token shares in ISBG. Not even close to why I bought into DKTS.

toxic funding is bs way to make money of selling shares to us dumb shareholders.....

Then I assume you no longer buy shares on the OTC because Toxic Funding is a way of life with these stocks. I don't like it, I don't condone it but none of it is illegal and it's being done with just about every penny stock out there.
This stock is finished. Even the note holders got screwed on this one. What we're seeing now is a desperate attempt to make themselves look legitimate but it's too late for that. It's possible that these guys will serve some time but at the very least, this stock will cease to exist.

Good, because if they continue in the direction that they are now going, the next business that you can expect them to open up will be a Kool-Aid stand on some street corner.

Obviously not enough

No. I didn't miss them

Anyone who thinks that gathering information from a phone call to Rick Wilson is DD does NOT know how the game is played

On this board black is white, night is day, losses are profits. I guess its all in how you want to spin it. I'm officially out. This is getting much too painful to watch. Good luck to all.

The CEO works for the shareholders and one of his main functions is to make money for the shareholders. He has failed miserably and should be challenged.

Do some research on Rick Wilson and you'll have your answer

Those are everyone's thoughts when they buy in. You're already playing catch-up. I honestly hope that it works for you though because it would also help ease the pain of my investment in this stock. I have serious doubts that will happen.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Letting it sit. There would be no point for me to sell it now. I'm just being realistic about what I can expect out of this. If for some wacked out reason this stock should go up, all the better.
