Depends on if you want to produce it yourself, or just sell the idea. For the former, you need to create plans, find a place to do the production, the marketing, etc., and handle the whole thing yourself. For the latter, contact a toy company, probably one that works in a similar market, and find out about their idea submission policies.

Contact the manufacturer and they will have a list of their wholesalers that can help you.

Find the nearest miniatures supplier (that is, supplier of materials and tools for miniatures as a hobby; doll houses, if you will) and put an ad up near the cash register.  Many people would love to make some money off their hobby to support the costs of materials and tools.  If there is no supplier near, try the Internet, like miniatures.com, and see if they have a bulletin board or classified ad section.\n\nGood luck!

A new idea or an actual product?\n\nIf you have an actual product, locate a wholesale food distributor (supermarket) or the corporate offices for other than a food item, call them and ask to speak to the appropriate department buyer and persuade them to take a look at it. It's a tough burn getting a hold of a buyer in a large company.\n\nIf you just have an idea, maybe you shouldn't contact them yet. Even with legitimate products, many times buyers will "steal" the product and have an associate produce it thus throwing you to the curb.\n\nGood luck\n\nMike\n\n=========================

Not sure about buying parts...... I'm sure there are many local electronic suppliers. \n\nCheck out the US company Jameco (www.jameco.com) for some of their robotic kits and pieces. Even if you don't get one of their kits, this might give you some ideas.

Oh... my... goodness....\n\nMost of these answers are soooo stupid.\n\nOk, if you are looking for a life-like replica dildo, go to  http://www.makeyourowndildo.com/kits.php and see what they have.\n\nIf you are looking for a way to get one without involving credit cards or porn shops; go to http://www.homemade-sex-toys.com/ and read detailed instructions for actually making homemade dildos.

You might contact those stores. If the idea can make $$$, get a patent or copyright before you approach them-- otherwise they will steal your idea.

first of course be sure your product has a patient, and is also not violating someones patent\n\nYou then would contact companies that manufactor items like or simular to what you need to have made.  \n\nOr even several factories that may make seperate parts.\n\nYou get prices for manufactor and the min quanities that they have to make.\n\nYou sign the contrcats, buy the material, and go from there.
