Dr. Malice has something special in store for the 10 year anniversary of Toy Soldiers Unite & The Army of Toy Soldiers. After having spent much time working upon it, Dr. Malice has created a brand new cover and expansion of the song Build A Playland. Together with Silent Addle, a video will be made for this song, to celebrate our anniversary.
But more importantly, they need YOUR help, to create audio and video for this project. Watch the video below for further explanation from Dr. Malice.

I was thinking of creating a completed version of Build a Playland myself. You beat me to it.
Question: Do we need to use Audacity… can we use GoldWave instead?
Not entirely sure I can get anything done at all by that deadline, but I’ll see…
I put Audacity in the instructions just as a baseline for people who never recorded audio before. However, if you have experience with another recording program, by all means, feel free to use it!
Build A Playland (Extended Version) Lyrics:
The army is poised and ready
We have been ever growing
Makeover the whole world with
Imagination Flowing
Soon our time will come
Robots, hamsters, humans together
Living, playing, creating as one
And singing this very song
So Take My Hand
We’ll Build A Playland
Build A Playland
Build A Playland
Utopian Playland
Where everyone is free to create
Fear has no where to stand
This world, we will reshape it
And now our time has come
Let’s everybody join together
Live, play, create as one
And still we’ll sing this song
So Take My Hand
We’ll Build A Playland
Build A Playland
Build A Playland
