Tyco is the one with a LARGE customer base.   Disney has gotten some
praise too, because their parks have a large number of people going to
see their 3D films.

Let me propose that "praise" be given based upon a "quantity times quality"
product.  Viewmaster scores big on the quanity (of people) side of the
scorecard, while RBT scores really high on the quality side.  Each person
can have their own scoring and judge for themselves.

If you stop a random person on the street, they may know about "3D" because
of Viewmaster.  I'd very much doubt they ever heard of Feds, RBTs, Franka, etc.

It gives a basis for discussions before showing anything.  I usually say,
"similar, but much much better".  If someone hasn't even seen a viewmaster,
then describing effectively is somewhat difficult.

P.S. - Tyco probably would be proud that you called them the "Nikon/Leica
of the Toy business world"!
