My name is Jay Kamhi and I am a former NYC street vendor who started Kamhi World three years ago after I moved to Florida with my wife and two daughters. My original goal was to give you, the fan, a beautifully sculpted, high quality product that you would be proud to own and show to your friends.  At a price that wouldn’t kill you.

I love the characters on the site as much as you do, and I admit that sometimes I get carried away with the amount of dialogue and detail I put into these talking toys.

For example, I had originally planned to include only seven lines in the Napoleon Dynamite Doll. But, as we all know, Napoleon has WAY more than seven lines he’s famous for. So I broke the first of many rules that I’m supposed to follow as a good “businessman” and bumped up the line count to 18. It cost me more but the end product is totally worth it.

I also was unhappy with the quality and volume of sound that was currently on the market. Most of the talking products I listened to sounded muffled and distorted, and I wanted to raise the standards of what was acceptable. To paraphrase an old line, “If we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we make a talking toy that doesn’t sound like it’s speaking under water?”

The answer is “Of course we can!”

But that also costs more money, and none of the big boys in the toy industry wanted to spend more money on higher quality sound or more detailed sculptures and figures if they didn’t have to. Their viewpoint was that fans wouldn’t know or appreciate the difference.

My viewpoint is that this is one of the reasons why these big companies are seeing their sales figures dropping across the USA. But what do I know? I’m just a former street vendor who does things backwards.

Anyway, that’s a little bit about my company and philosophy. You can go to the press section and read more about Kamhi World if you want to.

 In the meantime, I look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest talking toys in the field of pop-culture. I encourage you to write me with your ideas, comments or (Gasp!) complaints, and I sincerely appreciate the fact that you took a few moments out of your day to read this little blurb about Kamhi World.

Thanks,

Jay
