They even changed the curriculum in the schoolhouse to focus on playtime co-history, all to hopefully prepare the kids for their permanent residence as bigger bodies.
They immediately started performing more elaborate experiments, like creating bigger body versions of Huggy, Yarnaby, and Catnap.
Poppy found Catnap's story the most tragic.
In 1989, the prototype had managed to occasionally escape confinement, and just like she'd been doing, it befriended an orphan, Theodore Gramble.
But the prototype was not a great influence.
Theodore got caught attempting to steal files, and eventually, in 1990, two grab packs and Green Hand said that they could plan an escape.
Unfortunately, they weren't successful, and Theodore overcharged the Green Hand, electrocuting himself.
Poppy was often surprised that the prototype didn't just leave.
Instead, it stayed behind and carried Theodore to staff.
They turned him into a bigger body, but that actually saved his life, much like her father had done for her all those years ago.
In 1991, Poppy met another new bigger body, Mummy Longlegs.
She was a huge hit with the kids at the game station, and so got assigned to work there.
In fact, all of these giant toys were assigned to a station.
Mummy would help with the game station.
Catnap would help the orphans sleep.
And Boxy Boo would help get rid of problems.
Like the poor IT employee named Rowan Stoll, who had begun to figure out what was going on inside the company, and threatened to leak it to the press.
Seeing all these kids interact with these monsters, it made Poppy angry.
They had no idea what, no, who was inside these things, or that they too would soon suffer the same fate.
