Methods
Employed

Compared with a reference collection of
THOUSANDS of Beanies and Attic Collectibles dating
from the FIRST generation
Black
light analysis
of fabric and tags - a scientific method first discovered, published
and used by Prof. Kardas in 2000.
Metric
measurement of critter (to the nanometer), which is MUCH
MORE precise than using inches
Mass (= weight) of toy in milli grams, using a state-of-the-art digital metric balance
DNA
testing of the sweat of the actual worker
who sewed the seams on your toy, and the serial number
of the sewing machine she worked at in the factory, to identify
the EXACT person who made your precious toy
A satellite image
of the actual factory, and a spy photo, from a secret access
tunnel under each factory, of the EXACT
spot where your toy was made
