As reported by Comicbook.com, the campaign to save Toys “R” Us was started by billionaire Bratz doll maker Isaac Larian with the social media hashtag #SaveToysRUs, and now he's taken his charge to GoFundMe along with other investment partners in hopes of buying the failing toy brand.

Larian and his investors reportedly pooled $200 million together to jump start the fundraising campaign, and there's since been an additional $40,000 added to the pot by ardent Toys “R” Us lovers, but it looks like there's still quite a ways to go to that stated $1B goal. Dare to dream, toy aficionados!
