      One of the major reasons Disney paid over $4 BILLION for Star Was was its Male/Boy fanbase. Disney was already big with girls so one of the key deciding factors in buying Star Wars was to cash in on merch sales to males. But the KK-K Girl Boss Wahmmin Empowerment "The Force Is Female" initiative totally destroyed the brand. What little boy is going to beg their mother to buy them a Rose Tico or Vice Admiral Holdo figure? And on the Girl Boss Marvel side, what kid would be caught dead playing with a Shuri Copter? That is a good way to get beat up in the hood and become an outcast.

    I grew up in the 80s and 90s. A good reason why kids now a days don't play with many action figures is that they're watching commercial free streaming sites instead of mainstream TV. I remember all those toy commercials these big corporations shoved in our faces every time my brother and I tried watching our favorite cartoons. If companies want to sell toys, they need to figure out what the majority of kids are playing / watching on the internet. And stop the overproduction of garbage they think will sell because of a diversity quota. It's bad for the environment...

    So I asked my mom what she thought of episode 7. She said it was a good epilogue for the original trilogy. I asked if she remembered anything about the new characters and she didn’t. She also wasn’t aware that this was the start of a new trilogy. Think that sums up a lot about public interest in those films.

    I don't get it. I really don't. George had a clue back in the day. He focused his "action figures" on the same size as other popular toy lines. Currently? You got action figures from everything from 3 inch to 12 inch and some "action figures" which aren't even action figures. Which makes all the accessories items for those action figures almost impossible to design.
    And yes, star wars did go into the 12 inch "action figure" line. But as any boy will tell you those aren't action figures. They are dolls. Their target audience was girls who didn't really take to those toys back then just like the girls aren't taking to the Marvel / Star Wars action figures / dolls now. As a child I did end up with a few 12 inch "dolls" from the original toy lines back during the days of the original trilogy releases but I never played with them. I have no idea who gave them to me for Christmas all those years ago but whoever it was was obviously a woman with no male children.
    She knew I was into Star Wars and picked "dolls" to give me because she lacks the experience to know boys play with the much smaller action figures.

      I respectfully disagree.
      While I agree that it would be nice to see something new be created, brands like Star Wars and Marvel have continued to be brought to shelf because they are iconic and loved by the fans. As long as the IP holder treats the brands well, the toys will continue to sell. The problem is:
      1. the IP holdesr has disparaged the characters that the fans LOVED, driving away the older fans.
      2. the IP holders had created and pushed new characters who fail to be accepted by either older or younger fans (the latter whom exist in smaller numbers since the new media fails to entice them).
      3. Overproduction in general. That Disney created SO MANY Holdo figures or Shuri copters was insane. There are STACKS of them. Even the most popular heroes like Spiderman would be pressed to sell so much.
      Protect the IP and produce sensibly and profit will ensue. While hopefully leaving space for a new generation of creators (not the current diversity hires) to produce this generations Star Wars or Marvel.

It also helps that the movies come out every few years rathan then all the time plus since JC is handling it, you know it wont have the stink of corporate influence and Disney is in no shape to tell how JC to do it since he is the most succesfull movie director they still have and his influence is to high to ignore.

    I remember seeing piles of Kenner Star Wars toys in discount bins at JC Penny outlet stores in the 1980s. The couldn't get rid of that stuff back then, but over time those 3packs, and multi pack figure sets are worth $$ today.

    I thought the Winston figure did look a little off, not like Axel Foley off, but not a 1:1 of Ernie Hudson.

    14:32 It is in fact an awesome movie. The best parts are the Decepticons laying into the autobots and killing the main cast 5 minutes in and Kup and Hot Rod raising hell in Quintessa.

    Id like to imagine what the employees of the store are thinking when they see you every single time xD

    You know...if you were skilled with giving dolls makeovers you could take the Holdo figures and turn them into Ellie Satler dolls.

    About 3 weekends ago I was at a walmart I never been too before in the part of the city where I live I rarely go too. When I was walking up to the register I passed a clearance aisle and there were toys from Encanto toys marked down there. I had to take out my phone and do a google to see when that movie came out. They had toys from 2021 still trying to be sold in 2023. The toys were marked down to $5 and nobody seemed interested as the aisle had no missing/empty spots

    That Boba Fett model kit does look pretty good. The nightmare of trying to paint it up accurately would be overwhelming, though.
    My local Ollie's has nowhere near that kind of inventory.

    I feel like these videos are an investigative report. We're getting the real story here.

    Even clueless grandmas aren't buying these for their grand kids under the false assumption that they're "what the kids like".
