If you look online really quick you will see the top toys in the market for 2017/18 ( as much as you don't want to hear this) are not action figures.
I checked out a few sites like Time, Newsweek, Forbes, CNBC and Amazon's most wished for. Here some of the top toys that appeared on most of those lists. L.O.L Fingerlings R2D2 droid builder Tyler the Tiger Nintendo Switch Paw Patrol tower Nerf guns Hasbro is playing it smart by licensing the property and keeping it alive that way until they can find a way to revitalize the concept which will probably be in Spring of 2020. |

I know there are a million partial answers to this question, so I'm posing it mostly rhetorically, but if there's a market for statues, and bobble heads, and busts, and kreo figures, and combat heroes kiddie figures, why is it so hard to make actual action figures? How come the GI Joe brand is producing every kind of toy except the ones I want?
This is why I think a 6 inch line is inevitable for Joes. If Hasbro pitches stores a new 4 inch line the stores will say "yeah but our most recent sales data for 4 inch Joes is bad, so we're not ordering much." Yeah WE know there's lots of reasons for that, but to them it's just numbers on their computer. A brand new line in a new scale has no sales history in their computer, so when Hasbro sales reps go "look at this! it's just like those Marvel Legends and Black Series which sell well!" the store buyers will be more likely to give it a shot. |

These were teased at Comic Con. Also new teaser for Baroness.
In the works Lady Jaye Planned Firefly Hinted. Cobra Commander Myself I just collect statues, I love them and great PCS is now making them. Just a few of us collect statues for GI Joes. P1 should have just made the cartoon and not IDW comics statues Last edited by Serpentor1985; 01-24-2019 at 09:49 PM.. |
