[game_preservation] Preserving the "toys to life" genre

[Matthew Barr]

Hi folks,

One of my Masters students is doing her dissertation on the specific challenges associated with preserving the "toys to life" genre (LEGO Dimensions, Disney Infinity, amiibo, etc.) and I wondered if there was any work going on in this area I could point her towards. Of course, all of the usual issues are relevant, but the physical nature of the toys seems to add an additional dimension (pun intended). Perhaps there has been work done on preserving plastic toys, or similar?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks,

Matt
