The toy was an absolute flop, and it was almost completely forgotten by the end of the year, and what that means is that the billy possum didn't even make it to Christmastime, which when you think about it is a special sort of tragedy for a toy.
O brinquedo foi um fiasco terrível e estava quase totalmente  esquecido no final do ano. O "billy possum" nem sequer chegou ao Natal, o que, quando pensamos nisso, é um destino trágico para um brinquedo.
