So the leapfrog thang won't bend, the other things are going to be saved for more long term bends (e.g. the v-tech computer), but this is the status of my bent guitar as of about 5pm:



1/4 out, "whammy" knob, (pitchbends then goes nutts when resistance reaches 0), whammy on/off.

Two body contacts that make it into a distorted bass guitar to a squelchy ring modulated sounding monster. Whammy knob that bends the pitch and goes nuts. 1/4" out and speaker kill switch. Hooray.



The few bend points I found in this blob riddled toy:
