Check out this funding request for plastic uke production @ kickstarter.com:

It looks inyeresting, sounds good, and may well be a success.

Here is some more about it @ the Ukeeku blog:

Ukeeku is a cool blog to check out anytime, btw. Blogger Tim is a nice guy and gave me a kazoo!

What a great idea and well thought out! Wish I had the bucks to do that.

I did not like how the tuning nobs were, and how the neck was not rounded on the back. Also, the neck starts off skinny and ends really thick.

Humm... does it have anywhere what the body not being wood does to the tone of the sound? Seems like there'd have to be a significant difference.

Also, that video in the pool is hilarious and interesting. What a sound!

Looks like he was 95,000 dollars short of his target. Wonder if the idea is dead or if he'll try again.
