Note: You should use Karen's Power Toy version 2.6 (or higher) to replay these scripts. Older versions may not replay actions correctly, if script was created for non-Microsoft characters (Peedy, Genie, Robby and Merlin).

Submit your own Power Toy Scripts to the gallery! Send the .toy file as an attachment to toys@karenware.com. Please include your script's description and comments in the e-mail message's body.
