I don't trust Disney-owned Pixar to make that movie. But I'm sure there's a Japanese light novelist who's working on this very story, which will then be adapted into an anime we Americans will actually enjoy watching.
Seeing all of this waste of materials, labor, time, and shelf space makes me feel so gross inside. Like, it physically hurts to imagine how much money's gone down the drain to make these worthless pieces of junk.
One of the only intelligent comments here. I don’t even know how the garbage wound up in my algorithms but you are a shining light in this sea of idiocy.
The companies behind these products seriously shouldn’t act surprised when customers don’t want to play ball with an undoubtedly cuckoo service provider. Ecological waste is only one symptom. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
Those uncountable numbers of unsold and forgotton toys are angry and swear revenge to people who make them suffer like this, which are Disney higher ups and executives (who make them unlikable).

theres no need to be sad, they wanted it to be like this. blame their greediness and how they treated the fans, those are the ones who really suffer with it.
@@vaderladyl blame the company for producing all the junk. they could donate those toys to poor kids or something. but will they? ofc not. its also thanks to the woke ideology they wanted to push.
A family friend of mine that works at Walmart tells me they havent sold through the first shipment of Ariel dolls they put on the rack weeks before the little mermaid come out. She figures they have sold between 8-12 Ariels TOTAL. AT A WALMART. Over a timespan of about 5 weeks.
Which 8 to 12 sorry saps got suckered into that crap? How many of those were returned haha? That's pretty funny and sad that the toy shelves are so polluted now
@@ricktr6861 you mean if they stayed true to their own source material, it would have likely been okay. The actual race swapped version is the one that's shelf warming.
it didn't have to be this way. My mother, who has passed away now, worked on the Sleeping Beauty movie as an artist... and for years after. she used to literally pick trash up off the floor - cells with Jiminy Cricket or Tinkerbell that got cast off that would be worth a fortune today. not just because "Disney" but because of the trust, love, and wholesomeness they represented. They need Walt back because none of them have his vision.
I remember as a kid seeing the new characters for Star Wars or GI Joe getting ready to come out and being so excited. Sometimes waiting weeks after release because they sold out to get one. My kids have had no interest in any of these items. They don’t rewatch the movies, they’re just not interested.
And i remember when Star Wars came out in germany at February 78 there was NO merchandising for to buy...only a Sticker Album (pics were sold with bad chewing gum), thats it. No X-Wing or puppets. These kind of stuff came out with Return of the Jedi. You know, we kids WANTED this stuff but there was nothing for to buy.
Ähh...i never heard about most of these figures and characters before...Shang-Chi??? Agent Woo? Ah, the small role in Ant-Man...OK...but all these unknown star wars figures? They had NAMES?
@inappropriatefabricators7049 2023 doesn't look so good for Disney. Between park attendance being down and none of the movies looking to turn a profit.
I think Hasbro knows not to waste detail on stuff that will never sell. Got to feel it for them really. Stuck with Disney. A fate worse than bankruptcy.
@@LTNetjak Yeah, limited quantities is the key to making GI JOE a success again. If Classified shipped to retail in the amount of all this Disney merch, it would kill Classified.
Hasbro owns this as much as anyone - as well as Target & Walmart. Hasbro does not produce this stuff in these quantities if Target/WM don't order it. Based upon the IP both retailers assumed Lightyear (as an example) would sell well & ordered accordingly - obviously it did not work. Now both retailers are afraid to mark it down because it is a huge hit to the bottom line. Same thing for Black Adam, Jurassic World etc - it's not just a Disney/Hasbro thing. On the flip side, Hasbro cannot figure out how to ship the Star Wars figures to the stores - restocking is sporadic at best and unfortunately between Hasbro/WM/Target they cannot/will not deal with peg warmers like Lando filling the pegs. Same thing with MOTU Origins - the Jitsu/Goddess wave continues to clog the works with both retailers unwilling to take the hit and move on. With TRU being gone, Hasbro & Mattel need to figure out how to help WM/Target "manage" their inventory better if they want to be more successful - or they can just rely on their own websites & let the retailers flounder.
I’m reminded of some contract truckers that were delivering Star Wars merch (I think it was for TLJ specifically) to a couple of major retailers, and store managers were not letting them offload because the stuff they’d received pre-release was still clogging shelves and warehouse space. Some wound up leaving trailers, some dumped the merch out back in the loading area. I seem to recall at least one trailer full of TLJ stuff was just left along a major roadway in California.
I recently came across an entire shelf of 18 inch Reys from Jakks Pacific. They sell them for 7.50 Dollars each! These are the very toys which were released in 2015 for "The Force Awakens".
But how is that possible? I'm continually told by shill- I mean totally ''reliable'' and ''trustworthy'' sources Rey is one of the most popluar wahmen characters to ever come out of Star Wars. 😮
She's so popular and beloved that not even her fans want to spend a dime on her action figures. I'm from an Arabic speaking country, so I can see the replies of us being "sexist", "backwards" and "evil" (etc). But the truth is that Leia and Padme are selling quite well here. Even Unkar Plutt is selling much better than Rey.
Reduce the cost to one dollar or less, and there will be a chance these figures will sell- if only so they can be used as parts with which custom modelers can turn into heroes and heroines people actually like, or as mob characters the REAL HEROES and HEROINES will blow up in stop-motion videos posted on RUclips.
@@longtsun8286 I think that you're actually right. Some people are probably going to buy them for 1 Dollar or so. They'll probably use the plastic as a resource. I'm honestly curious if they will ever sell these figures for 1 Dollar. I don't know what these 18 inch figures originally cost, but a guess would be around 60 Dollars?
It hurts seeing what they've done to Buzz Lightyear. He was my favourite Toy Story character. Now look where he is. A walking punchline of his former self in TS4 and barely even resembling the same character in his own movie. A movie no one cared about with a ton of toys that are just going to be thrown away.
At my local comic shop where I still work part-time, parents come in with their kids frequently to see what toys might be available. The best sellers on my shifts continue to be the small impulse-type of buys, which is 90% the mystery balls of cute little Halloween monsters or party pinata figurines. The only Star Wars toys we tend to sell are the vintage toys and figures, but once in a blue moon, someone buys the least popular old-school Prequels line figure: Jar Jar Binks. I still want to add new items to my collection of my favorite characters when I have the extra cash, but even when I see classic Ariel (like the shirt at Hot Topic I saw yesterday), I don't buy it. The money still goes back to Disney somehow through their licensed vendors, so I don't want to risk it.
They did it to themselves with characters like Captain Marvel and Shang Chi. They could have been good, but they had to try to make them boring…and they succeeded.
I still see 'The last jedi' figures clogging the shelves in the cheap clearance variety shops. They aren't the knock offs, they are the original ones from 2017 that still haven't sold.
you guys are weridos bro💀. ik that none of this stuff is selling, but the way you guys blame this on women being hero’s, and them not making slave figures. what is wrong with you guys. you guys are adults buying toys after all💀
My friends wife was obsessed with star wars her whole life. Then Disney. At the end of the last movie... She sold off her vintage collection of stuff while the selling was good. She put it into their retirement fund.
@@InappropriateFab Then why are they panicking since 2018? Why are the cancelling all of their projects or delaying all of the next films? THAT IS SOMETHING THAT A COMPANY DOESN'T DO THAT UNLESS SOMETHING IS WRONG!!! By 2023 Disney's operating capital(the funds that they use to make sure that Disney operates) was am estimation of only 200 million dollars and more then a dozen accountants have gone the numbers and that is very bad for a multi-billion dollar company like Disney and they were considering selling Lucasfilm and even got an offer from an oil tycoon for 10 billion dollars. Bob Iger's spending were due to him taking out a lot of loans and that added up to the debt that Disney already had and it added more to that debt and Disney is up sh*t creek for they can not pay back those loans and all of the other situations that Disney is in is due to their stupidity. Those gross profits go to everyone who worked on those projects along with the parks and everything else. So in other words Disney is in the sh*tter and it is due to their bad decisions, reckless buying, attacking the established fanbases and embracing an agenda that doesn't work.
As a child of the 70s and 80s there were lots of Star Wars toys in the bargain bins. But they were also accessory style toys. Not action figures. Not ships. Not play sets. And they didn't stay on the shelves. In less than a month they were gone. Replaced with others. I thought back then it was deliberate on marketing's part. Practically give away the accessories and parents would buy the real target toys. As an example it is like Barbie dolls. You want to sale some Barbies? You offer up a bunch of Barbie outfits for cheap and girls would want more Barbie dolls to dress up.
Umm wrong...all ROTJ toys were in the discount bin...hate to break it to you...and it was worse during TPM..all stores were overflowing with SWs figures. You are entitled to your opinions but not your own facts...sorry
You apparently don't remember 84 - 86 then: plenty of Star Wars on clearance. Couldn't give away the Rancor Keeper, 8D8 or the Imperial Dignitary. Almost the entire ROTJ line was on clearance by 1985. Bottom line - the kids that grew up with Star Wars prior to 1983 were moving on to Transformers/GI Joe or they were growing up. That cycle happens all the time - it just happens quicker now thanks to electronics & the internet.
The amount of widespread damage Kathleen Kennedy's done is almost immeasurable. Movies, Streaming, Toys, Theme Parks, overall reputational damage to Disney's image. She's probably done more economic damage than most career politicians could ever hope to do in a lifetime.
In the city I live in there is a billboard promoting Disney that says "Celebrating 100 years". Every time I pass by it while driving on the highway I say who cares. It is tragic that there is absolutely no interest or excitement for what is supposed to be a milestone. Disney is the architect of their own demise. They chose woke politics over family values and now the chickens have done more than simply come home to roost. They are demolishing the home brick by brick.
@@markusoreos.233 If that's the case I say let him destroy the as you say, private company. Disney has demolished a lot of people's childhoods with the systematic destruction of Star Wars and live action abominations of their own 2D classic films. You CAN NOT blame DeSantis for the moral rot and decay Disney has gotten in bed with. They are destroying themselves from the inside out.
I genuinely can’t tell if this guy was just really disappointed with the newer black panther movie of if he’s one of those “Disney is going woke” for making black people main characters. The vagueness about whatever his opinion on spiderverse is and the “I don’t buy that version of Spider-Man” thing isn’t helping his case
Hasbro's quality has gone down massively the last few years. When we get Mattel and Hasbro next to each other at the store I work at, the difference in paint, decals and plastic quality is staggering. Hasbro also keeps raising their prices. Them and Disney is truly a match made in Hell!
Rey doesn’t need a survival guide because she is the bestest ever. She can master the sun and weather. She doesn’t have to hunt because animal surrender at her stunning and bravery. The people who need a survival guide is us the audience-getting through the sequel trilogy takes effort
My brothers son is 8 years old and he loves Star Wars/marvel/Disney toys …but he only likes the old ones from over 20 years ago. He hates the new movies because he charcters and story don’t appeal too him
this is failing high school level business class. its stunning. how can investors not be screaming for blood and getting the board / C level execs booted?
I don't understand how they can continuously train wreck themselves forward.... Any regular company would have to correct course or die, but Disney can some how fail for over a decade and still pump out dump worthy filler on the regular like that's their specialty. It's sad how polluted the toy aisles are, and 99% of that is Disney crap.
@@InappropriateFab how much ahead were they from the previous year though? If you shorten the time frame enough you can make any company look better than they are.
@@hamsandwich6685 considering 2020 was the year of COVID and park shutdowns, Disney ONLY made a profit of $21.5 billion that year. But to take your point further, in 2019 they made a profit $27.5 billion and in 2018 $26.7 billion. So basically their best profit performance in 5 years....you are correct, Disney doesn't know what they are doing.
I would never have imagined unsellable toys when I was a kid. Some stuff didnt sell as fast but blimey. I STILL see Rose from Rise of Skywalker everywhere almost free and atill not shifting. Knowing how much money it costs to tool, setup and start production of an action figure it staggers me how many BAD characters have them...agent woo...really?!
The total collapse of traditional toys is coming. It's already started. But at some point you'll have large stores with one toy aisle, boys/girls/lego/hot wheels on one aisle. It's hard to imagine sustaining this level of retail flotsam for much longer. The parents and kids aren't buying and collectors can only support lines so much. I just wonder how much of that line-killing The Last Jedi wave was made, the one case with 3 females, DJ, Old Man Luke and probably the only good selling figure in the case, R2-D2. Compared to all the Solo stuff that came months after, that TLJ wave still lingers everywhere. A case with boring older guys, an old woman, two British heroines (A reissued Jynn Erso who was warming pegs from Rogue One)...no cool villains, no army builders. Whomever green lit that assortment should be fired.
@@jamesdagmondI think you're correct as of late I'm not seeing lego movement at either walmart or target. Even the super mario line seems to have slowed significantly.
Agree. Back in the day I had a half dozen rebel troopers, and at least 6 storm troopers so I could pair them and pose the figures in mock. battles. When our house burned down, I never recovered financially enough to recreate my collection.
@@InappropriateFab There’s a good chance they are cooking the books. The movies consistently make less than production cost, attendance at the parks is down, Jeff has shown the toys are not selling. And the streaming service is struggling mightily. Of course they may be getting huge inputs of capital from their Chinese Communist overlords but they’ll never admit it.
I actually live in Japan. I go to Toys R Us every so often since they still exist here and it's interesting how I see some of this stuff echoed here. There's Raya and the Last Dragon merch thats been on clearance for 7-8 months. Buzz Lightyear toys and Gashapon that aren't moving. The problem isn't nearly as bad though since toys of Japanese properties take up about 2/3rds of the store (Pokemon, Sanrio, Mario, Doraemon, etc etc), but Disney stuff doesnt seem to be moving. The Marvel section looks nothing like this, it's mostly chibi versions of popular characters or articulated GOTG3 characters. There have been some merch lotteries and new goods coming out for the new Little Mermaid movie....but they all use the old design, lol.
In fact Disney had no loss...they sell the licence and when a producer/factory want to build millions of low quality figures of not important people of Wakande, its their problem... In my opinion its an incredible waste of material to make so many un soldable merchandising. Star Wars is dead, Marvel too. Who wants stuff from this they bought it long time ago, like Harry Potter stuff. And finally i am so disturbed by the extremely low quality of these stuff, its the worst Chinagarbage you can imagine... And i wonder why the store owners wasted so many space in the shop by filling it up with stuff nobody wants to buy...
I know its such a surprising concept that when the only feature of your plastic blob is that it has pose-able hands, its not very engaging for children to play with and nobody wants to buy them. The quality of some of these figures and the fact they are still sold at $12 for something so awful is staggering.whatever you think of the characters and properties like Marvel I still think if you made an entertaining toy first and foremost with some of the set pieces from the movie they would sell out damn fast. But of course for these companies its obviously profit above the quality of products.
More than likely not. The plastic or other materials may not be able to be melted down and retain their initial properties. Only some plastics are able to be reused. There is also the issue of sperating parts into like material bins. Paint and decals would have to be stripped aswell. Generally, it's more expensive to recycle then to create new.
I bought my niece a Rey figure/ship set when the movie came out. She took it outside and 5 minutes later that figure was a melted lump in the dirt. Took me about an hour to clean the rest off the grill. My niece said it was an entry burn failure. 🤣😆😂She has a whole bunch of the '77 figures and all the other playsets and ships. They are all in almost pristine condition, and she still takes great care of them.
The stores own the product and they were the ones who ordered it. Nobody twisted Disney/Hasbro's arm to make it. Retailers need to make better purchasing decisions & if a line fails they need to more quickly act with the clearance marker. At some point even stores like Ollies needs to take the hit and donate the product to make room for other things.
I was impressed how Target could dedicate so much space to worthless toys while also allocating such big areas to Transgender clothing. Of course this leaves very little space for things most people actually want to buy. At the moment I’m trying to imagine what store will move into the Target store when it’s gone for not having enough business.
Transgender clothing? Such a thing exists, it's like selling pens specifically for left handed people, it makes no sense. I mean if I was a man that identified as a woman, and wanted to wear women's clothing, I would just buy women's clothing that fitted me, or I would mix and match men and women's clothing if I was feeling a bit raunchy! That just seems like a waste of time and money!
not even kidding, at my local dollar store there's a bunch of marvel and lightyear stuff that has been sitting there for a year and is still completely stocked every time I go there (which is like once or twice a month)
I don’t think it’s just Disney stuff, pretty sure kids just don’t care about toys anymore since they all have phones. The only toys that sell nowadays are the ones that adults collectors want to buy
That's probably a big part, but there is no denying that Disney toys /ideas for characters and toys are blight. The main toy market, I hear, is mostly late 20s to mid 40s aged collectors. That's the big toy market because those are the kids that grew up loving and playing with toys last..
"From the NEW film: The Force Awakens"! That's a big oof right there for Disney. And why would Rey have a Survival Guide, she's a strong empowered Jedi who don't need no man to hold her hand!
Devils advocate: with the country being run in the ground, there is less disposable income and thus less people buying these manchild toys, especialy for films that suck
@@lindenhoch8396 I'm saying its DA because it is an even bigger factor than the fact the movies suck. In the past we had a handful "consoomers" who would buy any filth disney put out. Now even the rats are leaving the ship
If that were true, then the good toys wouldn't sell out like they do. Necca figures for aliens, or predators or horror ips or superheroes end up moving fairly regularly depending on the IP or character, but Disney toys are utterly cursed.
@@hamsandwich6685 Now we can talk about factors. I suppose its more exacerbated by the economy with bad movie toys being the first to be cut. A Dude who might have thrown a "rey" figure along with his Necca because rey was cheap and might have value ten years from now, can't be bothered now that the price of food is rising
"You never have to pay full price for Disney". My cable/internet provider has been trying to get me to sign up for a free year of Disney plus for over the last 2 years, but I find even that effort is even too expensive for Disney.
Yeah I remember the Star Wars isle hardly having anything because it was sold out. Seeing the Disney Star Wars trilogy toys rot on shelves is how we let them know we aren’t interested with what Disneys done with the IP.
You obviously were not buying Star Wars toys in the late 1990's...Toys R Us was practically giving away the POTF line because of overproduction prior to the prequels. Where were you during the prequel trilogy? Plenty of product on the shelves then, especially during TPM years. Lots of toys available during the Clone Wars period. Having worked at TRU I can tell you that the Star Wars section of the store was NEVER empty from 1996 until Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 - plenty of product to be had.
@@autobotstarscream765 Following your logic then, because the prequel era was pre-Disney, then this entire videos' premise is bogus because it isn't really Disney's fault the toys are clogging up the aisles. Thanks for helping make my point both to the video itself and the poster I originally replied to.
@robertdickson9319 My point is that it's not that it's Disney, it's what Disney did and that's annoy the fanbase instead of learning from Lucas to cater to the fanbase instead of going fishing in the blue ocean for new fans at the risk of repelling the old ones. The reason to single out Disney is, besides that obvious benefit they had of other people's hindsight, they're a big conglomeration that exists only to make money, so any loss of money triggers a hearty Nelson Muntz laugh from the audience, whereas "Crazy George" is seen as genuinely-intentioned and more artistically pure, that he didn't bet everything on Jar Jar Binks and midichlorians because he wanted to include diverse representation of people and ideas in a cynical attempt to appear to care while only caring about trying to attract a bigger, more diverse group of fish in the blue ocean, but rather that he actually thought that the Whills were the artistically meritous future of Star Wars and the story that he as a storyteller wanted to tell.
@@autobotstarscream765 Well, we can certainly have the debate about motives, missions & agendas between Disney & George - that in my mind is a different discussion than what is going on in the toy aisle. I my mind both George & Disney/LFL have made questionable decisions that I do not agree with. My point to the original poster is that his "remembering" of the Star Wars toy aisle being empty is factually inaccurate & is being used to confirm the bias in the video that the reason for all of the toys sitting on the shelves is because of "woke" Disney. My point to you (and to the video at large) is that what has happened in the toy aisles of today is not primarily because of "woke" Disney but instead it is because of the same issues that have been present in the toy aisles since the 1980's - overproduction/over-ordering, poor replenishment & external factors. There are multiple other toy lines in the aisles today that are clogging the shelves & heading to closeout stores - Jurassic World, WWE, DC, Funko etc. None of them have to do with Disney. None of them have any "woke" issues - they just are not selling like they used to. Walmart/Target ordered too much product thinking the lines would be successful, based upon past performances like Toy Story - they ended up not working. No one in 1998 called Lucasfilm/Hasbro "woke" or accused them of malpractice because the POTF2 toys were basically being given away due to overproduction. Kids today are not playing with toys (particularly with action figures) the way that they used to and both retailers/manufacturers need to understand that and adjust accordingly - they are not. Retailers today have a much tougher level of competition with the internet than they did 40 years ago. When Hasbro/Mattel do a better job of selling their action figure lines on their websites than they do at retail that tells you there are problems at retail - that has nothing to do with Disney. When WM/Target are still clinging to Toy Story toys despite the movie's performance that tells you they have issues with taking a markdown and getting rid of it - nothing to do with Disney. Disney/Hasbro already got paid for this stuff - it's all the retailers responsibility at this point. There is no Nelson Muntz laugh at Disney - they had their best profit performance in 5 years in 2022.
I've been actually having trouble finding Dungeons and Dragons merchandise in retail stores, especially since Honor Among Thieves came out. The Bard, Druid, and the Paladin just don't exist in retail stores. The Mage and Thief can be difficult to find, while the Barbarian is still out there. The OG D&D animated series classic figures are so rare that even the Thief-Acrobat is super hard to find, too. And this is with Hasbro being hated by D&D fans due to copyright changes. Disney merchandise is in plentiful supply, but after seeing SW TLJ and KK not being replaced, I've been avoiding Disney merchandise.
@@alexxs7evin I've only got 3 of them. They look pretty much like the picture of the action figure in the front. No broken pieces. I'm sure there is a possibility of broken action figures. I'm going to have the other 3 coming soon, but I am disappointed that the Red Wizard was never made. Th OG D&D figures are pretty much what is seen in the picture. Venjure's face seems a bit different than what is seen in the picture. It seems closer to what I remember in the Animated Series.
Special needs daughter that loves everything Disney, well used too. Wouldn't go to little Mermaid, did go to Elemental but she didn't like it. Started playing on my phone.
The EPA needs to be notified and order a cease and desist on these toys. All the plastic isnt biodegradable and they have to stop the production before it gets worse. These will all end up in the trash and landfills or the ocean.
Imagine a toy story movie about these movie-tie-in toys trying to find meaning in a world where no one wants them 😂. Get on that Pixar.
If it were done with a modicum of self-awareness, I’d actually want to watch that movie 😂
I don't trust Disney-owned Pixar to make that movie. But I'm sure there's a Japanese light novelist who's working on this very story, which will then be adapted into an anime we Americans will actually enjoy watching.

They need Walt back because none of them have his vision.
Oh man if she had a handful of original Disney animation cells from the golden age….that’d be a nice retirement fund lol
I remember as a kid seeing the new characters for Star Wars or GI Joe getting ready to come out and being so excited. Sometimes waiting weeks after release because they sold out to get one. My kids have had no interest in any of these items. They don’t rewatch the movies, they’re just not interested.
take away the smartphones, use PC instead
kids these days are interested in other things.... but the only cool thing remaining are dinosaurs jej xD
And i remember when Star Wars came out in germany at February 78 there was NO merchandising for to buy...only a Sticker Album (pics were sold with bad chewing gum), thats it. No X-Wing or puppets. These kind of stuff came out with Return of the Jedi. You know, we kids WANTED this stuff but there was nothing for to buy.

Watching Disney crash and burn this hard has been amazing to see. But they seem more worried about their ESG score than the actual bottom line.
Disney's annual gross profit for 2022 was $28 billion, a 27% increase from 2021. I'm pretty sure they're feeling good about their bottom line.
@inappropriatefabricators7049 2023 doesn't look so good for Disney. Between park attendance being down and none of the movies looking to turn a profit.
I think Hasbro knows not to waste detail on stuff that will never sell. Got to feel it for them really. Stuck with Disney. A fate worse than bankruptcy.
Hasbro agrees with Disney more than it disagrees with them.
@@LTNetjak Yeah, limited quantities is the key to making GI JOE a success again. If Classified shipped to retail in the amount of all this Disney merch, it would kill Classified.
Thunk about retailers who have to stock these items when they receive massive boxes of them
Hasbro owns this as much as anyone - as well as Target & Walmart. Hasbro does not produce this stuff in these quantities if Target/WM don't order it. Based upon the IP both retailers assumed Lightyear (as an example) would sell well & ordered accordingly - obviously it did not work. Now both retailers are afraid to mark it down because it is a huge hit to the bottom line. Same thing for Black Adam, Jurassic World etc - it's not just a Disney/Hasbro thing.
On the flip side, Hasbro cannot figure out how to ship the Star Wars figures to the stores - restocking is sporadic at best and unfortunately between Hasbro/WM/Target they cannot/will not deal with peg warmers like Lando filling the pegs. Same thing with MOTU Origins - the Jitsu/Goddess wave continues to clog the works with both retailers unwilling to take the hit and move on. With TRU being gone, Hasbro & Mattel need to figure out how to help WM/Target "manage" their inventory better if they want to be more successful - or they can just rely on their own websites & let the retailers flounder.
@@LTNetjak True, G.I. Joe and Ghostbusters Classics have been big for Hasbro.
Wall-E is still innocent. He deserves the sales more than any of the other failures.
I’m reminded of some contract truckers that were delivering Star Wars merch (I think it was for TLJ specifically) to a couple of major retailers, and store managers were not letting them offload because the stuff they’d received pre-release was still clogging shelves and warehouse space.
Some wound up leaving trailers, some dumped the merch out back in the loading area. I seem to recall at least one trailer full of TLJ stuff was just left along a major roadway in California.

I recently came across an entire shelf of 18 inch Reys from Jakks Pacific. They sell them for 7.50 Dollars each! These are the very toys which were released in 2015 for "The Force Awakens".
But how is that possible? I'm continually told by shill- I mean totally ''reliable'' and ''trustworthy'' sources Rey is one of the most popluar wahmen characters to ever come out of Star Wars. 😮
She's so popular and beloved that not even her fans want to spend a dime on her action figures.
I'm from an Arabic speaking country, so I can see the replies of us being "sexist", "backwards" and "evil" (etc). But the truth is that Leia and Padme are selling quite well here. Even Unkar Plutt is selling much better than Rey.
Reduce the cost to one dollar or less, and there will be a chance these figures will sell- if only so they can be used as parts with which custom modelers can turn into heroes and heroines people actually like, or as mob characters the REAL HEROES and HEROINES will blow up in stop-motion videos posted on RUclips.
@@longtsun8286 I think that you're actually right. Some people are probably going to buy them for 1 Dollar or so. They'll probably use the plastic as a resource. I'm honestly curious if they will ever sell these figures for 1 Dollar. I don't know what these 18 inch figures originally cost, but a guess would be around 60 Dollars?
In England the buzz light year stuff went straight to the bargain stores from the begining .
Same here in Australia, the buzz lightyear stuff was on clearance pricing while the movie was still at the cinema.
It hurts seeing what they've done to Buzz Lightyear. He was my favourite Toy Story character. Now look where he is.
A walking punchline of his former self in TS4 and barely even resembling the same character in his own movie. A movie no one cared about with a ton of toys that are just going to be thrown away.
Should go straight to the trash ngl
Poor Luke. Even as a toy he can't get far enough away from that failure of a franchise.
At my local comic shop where I still work part-time, parents come in with their kids frequently to see what toys might be available. The best sellers on my shifts continue to be the small impulse-type of buys, which is 90% the mystery balls of cute little Halloween monsters or party pinata figurines. The only Star Wars toys we tend to sell are the vintage toys and figures, but once in a blue moon, someone buys the least popular old-school Prequels line figure: Jar Jar Binks.
I still want to add new items to my collection of my favorite characters when I have the extra cash, but even when I see classic Ariel (like the shirt at Hot Topic I saw yesterday), I don't buy it. The money still goes back to Disney somehow through their licensed vendors, so I don't want to risk it.
They did it to themselves with characters like Captain Marvel and Shang Chi. They could have been good, but they had to try to make them boring…and they succeeded.
I still see 'The last jedi' figures clogging the shelves in the cheap clearance variety shops. They aren't the knock offs, they are the original ones from 2017 that still haven't sold.

@@InappropriateFab Then why are they panicking since 2018? Why are the cancelling all of their projects or delaying all of the next films? THAT IS SOMETHING THAT A COMPANY DOESN'T DO THAT UNLESS SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!
By 2023 Disney's operating capital(the funds that they use to make sure that Disney operates) was am estimation of only 200 million dollars and more then a dozen accountants have gone the numbers and that is very bad for a multi-billion dollar company like Disney and they were considering selling Lucasfilm and even got an offer from an oil tycoon for 10 billion dollars.
Bob Iger's spending were due to him taking out a lot of loans and that added up to the debt that Disney already had and it added more to that debt and Disney is up sh*t creek for they can not pay back those loans and all of the other situations that Disney is in is due to their stupidity. Those gross profits go to everyone who worked on those projects along with the parks and everything else.
So in other words Disney is in the sh*tter and it is due to their bad decisions, reckless buying, attacking the established fanbases and embracing an agenda that doesn't work.
As a child of the 70s and 80s there were lots of Star Wars toys in the bargain bins. But they were also accessory style toys. Not action figures. Not ships. Not play sets. And they didn't stay on the shelves. In less than a month they were gone. Replaced with others.
I thought back then it was deliberate on marketing's part. Practically give away the accessories and parents would buy the real target toys.
As an example it is like Barbie dolls. You want to sale some Barbies? You offer up a bunch of Barbie outfits for cheap and girls would want more Barbie dolls to dress up.
Umm wrong...all ROTJ toys were in the discount bin...hate to break it to you...and it was worse during TPM..all stores were overflowing with SWs figures. You are entitled to your opinions but not your own facts...sorry
You apparently don't remember 84 - 86 then: plenty of Star Wars on clearance. Couldn't give away the Rancor Keeper, 8D8 or the Imperial Dignitary. Almost the entire ROTJ line was on clearance by 1985. Bottom line - the kids that grew up with Star Wars prior to 1983 were moving on to Transformers/GI Joe or they were growing up. That cycle happens all the time - it just happens quicker now thanks to electronics & the internet.

I just wonder how much of that line-killing The Last Jedi wave was made, the one case with 3 females, DJ, Old Man Luke and probably the only good selling figure in the case, R2-D2. Compared to all the Solo stuff that came months after, that TLJ wave still lingers everywhere. A case with boring older guys, an old woman, two British heroines (A reissued Jynn Erso who was warming pegs from Rogue One)...no cool villains, no army builders.

I actually live in Japan. I go to Toys R Us every so often since they still exist here and it's interesting how I see some of this stuff echoed here. There's Raya and the Last Dragon merch thats been on clearance for 7-8 months. Buzz Lightyear toys and Gashapon that aren't moving. The problem isn't nearly as bad though since toys of Japanese properties take up about 2/3rds of the store (Pokemon, Sanrio, Mario, Doraemon, etc etc), but Disney stuff doesnt seem to be moving. The Marvel section looks nothing like this, it's mostly chibi versions of popular characters or articulated GOTG3 characters.
There have been some merch lotteries and new goods coming out for the new Little Mermaid movie....but they all use the old design, lol.
In fact Disney had no loss...they sell the licence and when a producer/factory want to build millions of low quality figures of not important people of Wakande, its their problem...

Star Wars is dead, Marvel too. Who wants stuff from this they bought it long time ago, like Harry Potter stuff.
And finally i am so disturbed by the extremely low quality of these stuff, its the worst Chinagarbage you can imagine...
And i wonder why the store owners wasted so many space in the shop by filling it up with stuff nobody wants to buy...
I know its such a surprising concept that when the only feature of your plastic blob is that it has pose-able hands, its not very engaging for children to play with and nobody wants to buy them.
The quality of some of these figures and the fact they are still sold at $12 for something so awful is staggering.whatever you think of the characters and properties like Marvel I still think if you made an entertaining toy first and foremost with some of the set pieces from the movie they would sell out damn fast. But of course for these companies its obviously profit above the quality of products.

More than likely not. The plastic or other materials may not be able to be melted down and retain their initial properties. Only some plastics are able to be reused. There is also the issue of sperating parts into like material bins. Paint and decals would have to be stripped aswell. Generally, it's more expensive to recycle then to create new.

The stores own the product and they were the ones who ordered it. Nobody twisted Disney/Hasbro's arm to make it. Retailers need to make better purchasing decisions & if a line fails they need to more quickly act with the clearance marker. At some point even stores like Ollies needs to take the hit and donate the product to make room for other things.
I was impressed how Target could dedicate so much space to worthless toys while also allocating such big areas to Transgender clothing. Of course this leaves very little space for things most people actually want to buy.

I was gonna say Walmart but Ollie`s would be more appropriate and wouldn't even need to empty the store first.
Transgender clothing? Such a thing exists, it's like selling pens specifically for left handed people, it makes no sense. I mean if I was a man that identified as a woman, and wanted to wear women's clothing, I would just buy women's clothing that fitted me, or I would mix and match men and women's clothing if I was feeling a bit raunchy!

You obviously were not buying Star Wars toys in the late 1990's...Toys R Us was practically giving away the POTF line because of overproduction prior to the prequels. Where were you during the prequel trilogy? Plenty of product on the shelves then, especially during TPM years. Lots of toys available during the Clone Wars period. Having worked at TRU I can tell you that the Star Wars section of the store was NEVER empty from 1996 until Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 - plenty of product to be had.
@@robertdickson9319Because the Prequel Era _also_ made the mistake of ticking off the fans.
@@autobotstarscream765 Following your logic then, because the prequel era was pre-Disney, then this entire videos' premise is bogus because it isn't really Disney's fault the toys are clogging up the aisles. Thanks for helping make my point both to the video itself and the poster I originally replied to.
@robertdickson9319 My point is that it's not that it's Disney, it's what Disney did and that's annoy the fanbase instead of learning from Lucas to cater to the fanbase instead of going fishing in the blue ocean for new fans at the risk of repelling the old ones. The reason to single out Disney is, besides that obvious benefit they had of other people's hindsight, they're a big conglomeration that exists only to make money, so any loss of money triggers a hearty Nelson Muntz laugh from the audience, whereas "Crazy George" is seen as genuinely-intentioned and more artistically pure, that he didn't bet everything on Jar Jar Binks and midichlorians because he wanted to include diverse representation of people and ideas in a cynical attempt to appear to care while only caring about trying to attract a bigger, more diverse group of fish in the blue ocean, but rather that he actually thought that the Whills were the artistically meritous future of Star Wars and the story that he as a storyteller wanted to tell.
@@autobotstarscream765 Well, we can certainly have the debate about motives, missions & agendas between Disney & George - that in my mind is a different discussion than what is going on in the toy aisle. I my mind both George & Disney/LFL have made questionable decisions that I do not agree with.
My point to the original poster is that his "remembering" of the Star Wars toy aisle being empty is factually inaccurate & is being used to confirm the bias in the video that the reason for all of the toys sitting on the shelves is because of "woke" Disney.
My point to you (and to the video at large) is that what has happened in the toy aisles of today is not primarily because of "woke" Disney but instead it is because of the same issues that have been present in the toy aisles since the 1980's - overproduction/over-ordering, poor replenishment & external factors. There are multiple other toy lines in the aisles today that are clogging the shelves & heading to closeout stores - Jurassic World, WWE, DC, Funko etc. None of them have to do with Disney. None of them have any "woke" issues - they just are not selling like they used to. Walmart/Target ordered too much product thinking the lines would be successful, based upon past performances like Toy Story - they ended up not working. No one in 1998 called Lucasfilm/Hasbro "woke" or accused them of malpractice because the POTF2 toys were basically being given away due to overproduction. Kids today are not playing with toys (particularly with action figures) the way that they used to and both retailers/manufacturers need to understand that and adjust accordingly - they are not. Retailers today have a much tougher level of competition with the internet than they did 40 years ago. When Hasbro/Mattel do a better job of selling their action figure lines on their websites than they do at retail that tells you there are problems at retail - that has nothing to do with Disney. When WM/Target are still clinging to Toy Story toys despite the movie's performance that tells you they have issues with taking a markdown and getting rid of it - nothing to do with Disney. Disney/Hasbro already got paid for this stuff - it's all the retailers responsibility at this point. There is no Nelson Muntz laugh at Disney - they had their best profit performance in 5 years in 2022.
I've been actually having trouble finding Dungeons and Dragons merchandise in retail stores, especially since Honor Among Thieves came out. The Bard, Druid, and the Paladin just don't exist in retail stores. The Mage and Thief can be difficult to find, while the Barbarian is still out there. The OG D&D animated series classic figures are so rare that even the Thief-Acrobat is super hard to find, too. And this is with Hasbro being hated by D&D fans due to copyright changes. Disney merchandise is in plentiful supply, but after seeing SW TLJ and KK not being replaced, I've been avoiding Disney merchandise.
Have you opened any? With the plastic windowless boxes there are reports of broken/poor wuality figures?
@@alexxs7evin I've only got 3 of them. They look pretty much like the picture of the action figure in the front. No broken pieces. I'm sure there is a possibility of broken action figures. I'm going to have the other 3 coming soon, but I am disappointed that the Red Wizard was never made. Th OG D&D figures are pretty much what is seen in the picture. Venjure's face seems a bit different than what is seen in the picture. It seems closer to what I remember in the Animated Series.
Special needs daughter that loves everything Disney, well used too. Wouldn't go to little Mermaid, did go to Elemental but she didn't like it. Started playing on my phone.
The EPA needs to be notified and order a cease and desist on these toys. All the plastic isnt biodegradable and they have to stop the production before it gets worse. These will all end up in the trash and landfills or the ocean.
"Meet the heroes of the last jedi!"
"no"
If we could get a grumpy Luke Skywalker with green milk dripping from his mouth.. I'd buy that for authenticity.
I got that Gen. Lando black series figure from Game Stop for $3. And that was, like, 3 months after it had come out.
