"OCAD Doll"
A fabric doll bodice can be clothed, and the outfits accessorized; the various pieces being typical of certain character steriotypes around OCAD. Also, the facial features/expressions of this doll (similar to Mr/Mrs. Potato Head) are interchangable.
"All the World is a Brain"
This board game takes place in a skull, on a brain. Instead of countries battling for boarders and territory, gaining soldiers and means, -different aspects of ones personality battle for concious ground (merging, destroying,...battling). The skull would create somewhat of a bowl about the flat, brain patterned board. The playing pieces would be constructed as such that they could be joined together.
"Wo/Man Child"
With the rise of 2D-bustious-babe-tatoos-turned-sylicone-implant, and a rising general fear among the masses, a latex 'stress ball' shaped, coloured and textured as a breast with erectable nipple (the use of baking soda and water) could do nothing but good. My model would be the size of an A cup.
" 'Ve Ye Got Som't To Say!"
A set of political figures, celebrities, and jo/jill-shmoes...children ect, in that thin plastic you wet, and then stick to your window can be arranged clothed, accessorized and positioned in whatever way that fits your ends as a person with something to say. This game/toy would come with cartoon/comic book frames, speech and thought bubbles ect. Your depiction, wether personal, political, or nonsensicle, becomes everchanging and available to people who look your window wayward.
"Multi-Uni Stamp"
Akin to those nail-filled frames, that one lays their hand into, to make an impression, this stamps purpose is elusive. The stamp, about 2 inches squared, is composed of many 1mm-diameter cylanders of rubber, in 2 frames, between which is bound an elastic. Loosening the elastic slightly, the small end of a pencil could be used to press certain cylanders of rubber down, in order to make a stamp pattern. Once desired pattern is complete, user tightens elastic and dips stamp in ink, and stamps wherever.
"Party Kick Kit"
This kit includes several 2D optical illusions, knotted cherry stems, paper and coloured pencils, a silicone ear, fake carpet burning cigarette, stick on mustache and jelly beans. There would be included, a pamphlet detailing all the wonderful ways these things could be used and what sequesnces are most successful.

Very impressive creative explosion! Some sketching would be good, but you write very clearly and evocatively.
The "iceberg analogy" might provide a good narrative structure for All The World is a Brain.

Executed as you describe, the tactile feedback that Wo/Man Child provocatively provides the missing element in the stress ball: an indication that their stress has dissipated.
Multi-Uni Stamp also sounds very promising, if it's sufficiently easy to manipulate. An OCAD stencil tagger's dream.
Get building!
"OCAD Doll"
Reminds me more of Barbie than the Potato Heads, depends on how to depict it. Would be neet to see the steriotypes you come up with, however it would only be fun for OCAD students. Maybe concider the possibility of having one for each major Toronto university.
"All the World is a Brain"
Really cool and very Sigmund Freud. You could even add like trivia stops or something about the Ego, super-ego, and id. However, this comment only applys if you wanted to go the Freudian root, just a suggestion
"Wo/Man Child"
I couldn't agree more! Unfortunetly i think someone has already beat you too it. In the existing model the nipple is always errect, so you could certainly play with the idea of creating an erectable nipple that is more life like. I'm not sure if that would be enough of a significant change.
" 'Ve Ye Got Som't To Say!"
Reminds me of something off the Colbert Report! I think that you've really captured the essence of an 'Adult Game'. One of the problems with adult games is (like you mentioned in your comment to me) incentive, 'what the hell is the point of all this!?' the average young adult would say. I've got better things to do! By putting politics into the mix i think you have created a game/toy that has real meaning. It seems like the general population is less likely to protest than before (60's etc.) I think this will be a fun way to shape a new type of protest, one that people can do from the safety of their own homes... and not get tear gassed. It's fun an expressive, however i would concider leaving the speach bubles empty so the user can fill them it.
"Multi-Uni Stamp"
Ummmmm, i'm not exactly sure what's happening. I would have to see it. I like that it's one of those things that probably won't need instructions once you see it but that it's just hard to explain. Makes it very easy for the user kind of like a spiro-graph. Eventhough it's a neet idea from what i understand, it sounds like it would be really hard to do a mock-up of.
"Party Kick Kit"
I want one.
p.s. Sorry this is late i totaly forgot, hope i didn't slow you down.
