Since the new line is suppose to be updated designs I’m anxious to see how Destro comes out as well. Also I’m looking forward to seeing Joe’s on the retail shelves again.. This wait is killing me lol

I kind of put Destro and Scarlett in the same category of characters that could use a fairly robust update (though still anchored in ARAH). The looks of Duke or Flint would need less updating, IMO.

12” ain’t so bad, it just requires bit more effort. ;)

I can get on board with that. Flint and Duke are sort of classic. Destro and Scarlett are a bit more fashionable.

I agree 6" do sell better, but for specialty retailers like us, the demand for 6" is actually not that much greater.
There far more sku's in 6" than 3.75 vintage. 6" is more readily available, nearly all retailers carry Black series. I do think people prefer 6" now as I do, but 3.75" vintage collection sold very well for us last year. Some anecdotal evidence, on FF last year we sold just shy of 800 cases of vintage 3.75 and barely sold 250 black series. In a given year, if we got the same number of waves with same number of new figures 3.75 for us would easily outsell Black Series. We find that with 3.75 people buy multiple of the same figure and that happens far less with 6" With Joe we're expecting 6" to do very well, but I still think there's a place for 3.75. Whether or not Hasbro chooses to go that direction, you'll have to wait and see. |

I’m curious, did you see an increase in sales following TRU closing their doors? The toy aisles in the Targets and Walmarts near me are pathetic. The only thing that is stocked well are Legos and things for younger kids like Paw Patrol and Imaginext. I figured that the older kid toy sales had to go somewhere.
