      Alternate title: Toys With Existential Angst. I do like this one lots better than the second one, but it's not as brilliant as the first. Learning about where all the toys came from was a lot of fun. I should have guessed that Sheep was an heirloom. I thought Lumphy was a little whiny here, but maybe it was his inexperience that made him so. Which is to say, why yes, I do believe I'm invested in these characters.
