Lanard Toys was and still is, known for their Military Action Figure lines: The Corps and the Ultra Corps.  My goal was to find a way to expand on the tried  & true "soldier" play pattern in the Boys category, but in a new fresh way. I  presented the "dog" soldier concept at a brainstorm along with a couple of other hybrid Corps line concepts, by simple presentation boards with visual elements found on the internet.  I creatively directed a fabulous team who really brought the K-9 Corps to life.  Designer Brent Scoufus created detailed character sketches and bios, while Sculptor John May worked his magic in 3-D.  The world was completed with packaging direction from Ron McPherson. We even made a low budget video DVD to help market the line with the help of the talented Ken Kaufman.
