Pooltoy furries are fun, 'cause animooool pooltoys definitely exist, but as far as we're aware, aren't terribly commoooon. They also just, don't seem to come in nearly the variety depicted in furry art. So it's like, you've got a concept that does exist, and has its roots, outside furry; but is really really furry moooost of the time.
hmm, maybe i should look up some common commercial pooltoys and start making Little Guys from them. just give animacy to a blown up donut and see what happens.
