I have an idea for a toy that I would like to create.  I need to find
a company that can prototype it.  I live in the San Francisco bay area
and would prefer to find a company in the area.  The item I need to
prototype has a simple design, it is made primarily of plastic and it
will need to have images printed on it.

I have had no luck finding a company that can prototype this for me. 
Please provide a short list of companies that do this sort of work. 
SF Bay area preferred but not necessary.  Thanks.
