Consider that in the starting post JP has indicated a skill and experience in soft toys. I`m assuming that means stuffed figures of some kind. Look at what Vermont Teddy Bear has done with only a single soft toy.

I live in a heavy urban location so there`s not enough space outside malls for huge toystores like walmart and toys r us. At best we have specialty hobby stores and the toy department in a local dept. store or mall.

I`ve heard good things about folks that can leverage their online social networks or blogs into online-order cottage businesses. A lot work off of eBay or LiveJournal, which is a good place if you`re particularly strong at making custom soft toys.
