Method of providing a consumer profile accessible by an on-line interface and related to retail purchase of custom personalized toys

This describes a system where a customer designs a personalized toy by selecting various parts and accessories. The unique configuration is then saved electronically in a customer profile, which can be used for future online or in-store interactions, such as having a digital version of the toy compete against others online.

Why it matters: Filed before cloud computing made scalable online configurators and profile management significantly easier and cheaper. The widespread adoption of digital avatars and advanced web frameworks also simplifies integrating physical toys with online interactive experiences.
