Codenamed Gepetto for the motion technology inside the dolls, the Actimates toys were Microsoft's attempt to get into the toy market. The first of these dolls, modeled after Barney, was first sold in 1997, becoming a success that holiday season. Dolls based on Arthur, his sister D.W., and the Teletubbies (all four of them including Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po) were made, but none of them could achieve the same fame that the Barney doll did. The dolls were discontinued in 2000 and Microsoft lost the patent rights to the toys not too long afterwards
