The Crew

The Crew is an elite selection of stuffed animals and action figures that partake in frivolous to serious matters in life.

History
The crew began taking shape around 2000 A.D., through a series of 'trial-by-fire' events. The earliest known example of this was called "The Fan Game ", where a hodgepodge of toys were placed on top of ceiling fan blades. Once the fan was turned on and spun for a brief time, the toys would launch off of the blades and into the wall. Whichever action figure or stuffed animal made the most impressive impact, as well as stayed on the fan extensively, was rewarded with favoritism.

Approximately a few months after The Fan Game, a similar event took place with "The Laundry Basket Game ". All stuffed animals and action figures that could be found were placed in a laundry basket which was then slid down a flight of stairs. Most of the toys would fall out of the basket en route, however some would remain inside. The event was performed repeatedly, and as the game evolved, scores for individual toys were recorded and points were given for successful trips, unusual landing positions, etc. As with The Fan Game, high performing toys were rewarded with favoritism and were subsequently carried on to other activities.

Through the rigorous (though unconscious) weeding process and passage of time, stuffed animals and action figures with the highest favoritism were given 'voices'. A voice was essentially the manner in which a stuffed animal or action figure was thought to communicate. For example, Kermit the Frog had a voice with moderate pitch and lightly mirrored the Jim Hensen version of Kermit's voice whereas Dinosaur had a deeper voice with less inflection. With a voice, opportunities for character and personality became evident which truly opened the doors to the formation of The Crew. Coupling this with the favoritism won during previous events, a select few were identified which unintentionally formed the foundation for The Crew.

Pre-Crew, The Early Days
Before The Crew was given its name, a series of contenders emerged. These were often action figures but generally lacked a voice or specific character traits. These individuals were also pretty short-lived in comparison to the The Core Crew. The Early Days consisted of Deep Sea Diver, Ninjas, and Wrestlers.

The Core Crew
The Core Crew is composed of Kermit the Frog, Dinosaur, Santa Claus, Robo-Devil (formally known as Devil ), Witch , Timmy, Timmy's Mom, and Blue McSqueaky.

The Fringe Crew
The lesser known Crew Members came and went as needed. This group is composed of Kermoine, Gingerbread Men, Jacoby Dog , Tom, Giant Kermit, Winter Kermit, and Red McSqueaky.
