They also moved a bunch of figs and Snake Eyes role play sets to the DVD section... no doubt for a DVD special promotion? Or at least make product visible when selling the DVD.
We have the same hunting grounds. That's good to know.
Too bad that retailers got the shaft and over ordered waves that they thought would sell well through the rest of the year. Hasbro
NEEDS
to provide retailers with a product line that features many male and female characters in interesting costumes and various sizes. Overall a variety of things to choose from is a healthy approach for any toyline to offer the retailer for consumer purchase. Of course a discount on Joe RoC toys was expected but not by this magnitude. Toys being placed by the movie aisle is the first sign of desperation by the retailer to move merchandise that isn't moving well. Next RoC figures will be in the toilet paper aisle to promote crap that needs to be flushed down the toilet....
I saw the new Star Wars comic 2-packs and I was helluva impressed by what is being offered to the average SW consumer. Star Wars has a wide array of colorful interesting characters both male and female of various sizes and different accessories to accomodate them. RoC focuses on twelve main characters that all have dark colors and huge missile launchers that the figure can't hold while standing. Didn't Hasbro think this would turn parents off from buying because of the oversized huge gun that promotes violence to kids? Or how about the nuisense of accidentally vacuuming up RoC small hand guns and knives that can easily be lost or swallowed by young kids. Parents might not go as crazy as expected in buying RoC this Christmas as retailers forsee.
