First sentence: If you were an original model which would you rather be, a sad stationary model that has to sit idle on a display shelf getting dusty and neglected,or a happy action model that frequently gets to frolic in the hands of a folder and give moving performances that astonish and amuse.
Description: Imagine folding a piece of paper into nail clippers that really work, or a Swiss Army knife that actually opens, or a surfer on a wave that crashes when the surfer is slid forward...There's no need to imagine-this is for real!
