As full-focused as Alexander was on the toy venture, there was no denying that there would always be distractions and mandatory obligations to be done.
Schoolwork was just one of them as the school leaves had to be timed quite properly and not too much.
It was clearly scheduled right but his classmates have already been noticing the apparent 'leave' favoritism despite their usual lackadaisical attitude towards things.
Alexander just had to come up with random reasons to derail their suspicion of him. His classmates, old and new, could only believe his random reasons as Mrs. Montogomery was also backing him up.
All that secret autograph transactions clearly turned out well. As Mrs. Montgomery earn a lot of mom points from her children, her justifications for Alexander's frequent absences were also quite well done.
As much as Alexander didn't care for what the school and his classmates would think, he also didn't want to give a bad example to them as his butterfly flaps was quite dangerous
This is why his absence excuses that Mrs. Montgomery was explaining to the curious class has always been about Alexander visiting sick relatives that didn't finish school.
When the gullible classmates heard about the sickly fate that Alexander's diploma-less "relatives" has been through, they have somewhat enforced it on to themselves that having a diploma is the way to go.
If diploma-less "relatives" have made their little classmate miss out on many days of the school week, then it was probably very bad and associated with not being able to finish school.
They just don't want to go down that same fate. Hence, Alexander's frequent absences were enough to fool them into understanding his situation while also being a bad example to follow.
Alexander didn't become a bad role model, instead, he became an 'always-on-leave' and 'frequent absentee' that taught little 8 to 9-year-olds a valuable lesson.
It was to stay in school and not inconvenience the future little relatives like Alexander that they would have due to their diploma-less sickness.
Of course, not everyone in that 4th grade class was gullible enough to be lulled into it but at least they were given a life lesson in an unorthodox way.
------
Those school hijinks aside, it was fortunate that those school obligations didn't delay much for Creed Toys.
It was progressing quite well in many factors and the mass production procedures were quite gratifying.
For a company that has just been established within a few months, it was a success that couldn't be undermined.
Of course, the toy venture was on track even without Alexander as old Creed was taking over with a lot of things. Complicated production levels and marketing was an industry that the business savvy Sullivan was good at after all.
Since residual pre-production works have already been finalized for Back to the Future, the old patriarch's participation in Creed Toys was a foregone conclusion.
All the BttF timeline sets were already on standby so that Innovative Rob can just continue with the filming quite reassuredly.
Semi-producer Curious Bob was also there to help his friend out, so filming wouldn't be that much of a hassle. Even without old Sullivan's intervention and filming deliberations, the Rob and Bob duo were too invested in their passion film to try and botch it.
Quality was practically assured in all franchise fronts that Alexander was juggling with.
With him on school, Creed Comics was already stable, Creed Pictures' three-film project was in the good hands of the original creators, while Creed Toys were left for his qualified grandpa to oversee it further.
----
Besides, Creed Toys was all in from the beginning and the get-go. The creative team had been progressing quite nicely and respective department personnel had long been hired to do the rest of the grunt work.
It involved people that were familiar with the adult toy industry but at least their experience in a "similar" field would yield stability over everything that would happen.
The production plans had long been set up since the end of August and towards the start of September.
Then, the true mass production and the employment of those plastic molding factories in China were hard at work.
Alexander didn't know how but it would seem that some other factories were outsourced as well to expand production capabilities.
Fortunately, the toy design plans have been monitored and spearheaded by the Creeds, so the costume fiasco is far from happening again.
Those outsourced production factories just needed to pass quality control and the final product should be the same all throughout.
Even the general misconception about shoddy 'Made in China' works could be overthrown with all the monitoring work that has been utilized.
Buyers don't care much from which factory things were made after all. They just mostly put their attention into the product and the brand that it was sold under.
Creed Toy's packaging departments just needed to do their job well with the packaging designs and making sure that its labelings and all that is up to code.
When toy quality agencies approve of the designs and the toy plans, selling to the market shouldn't be that much of a hassle then.
Of course, there are other state factors, country factors, product testings, and many company complications that came to play. However, thankfully everything was up to schedule despite the semi-rushedness of everything that was happening.
The Creed Toys were finally on hold by the end of November and the direct market of comic book stores was already briefed with the things that are about to happen.
Comic book store owners, that have always been in contact with old Creed, can't even wait themselves for the new retail product that they would add to their selection.
Everyone was practically in the collective agreement to branch out into selling toys related to comic books. Some have already employed it with DC and Marvel limited toy selections, so there was no way anyone would disagree with Creed-related products.
Essentially, comic book stores would be changing up once again and following suit with Stuart Bloom's strategy from The Big Bang Theory.
However, they weren't strapped for cash and haggling for prices like poor old Stuart but were just expanding their store's revenue options.
The big toy debut had to wait till December though as November comic book store releases were still just about the issue #9s and #10s that had finally been reached.
If all comes into motion, then the comic book industry would be in a collective upheaval when they find out that there is something to look out for aside from Volume Books.
The 10th single-issues from Creed titles during the Thanksgiving season were already warming up everyone for what's about to come.
Everyone who knows about the Creed Comics strategy was already gearing up for Christmas of 1984, which they expect should be quite the holiday for everybody.
UniVerseLessOne This is a work of fiction and a lot of unresearched topics so don't bash my trashy work too much.
