Are they really just expensive chachkies?
Adults are the ones primarily buying this stuff. So what are we doing with them? Really? |

Feels like most toys are directed at adults, lets be honest, majority of toys are from franchises from the 80's, GI joe, Transformers, Masters of the Universe, Star Wars Black series, Power Rangers Lightning collection and while i am sure there is some appeal from todays kids, most kids now only care about ipads, Fortnite and Pokemon, so, they are focused on adult collectors not to be played with but displayed.

A couple years back I saw a meme going around that showed a photo of a shelf full of Funko Pop figurines next to a photo of a shelf full of Precious Moments figurines with the inscription "These (the Funko Pops) are these (the Precious Moments) for 40 year-old dudes" and it was very hard to argue with that statement.
Joes would probably fall in the same category, if I'm being honest. |

My girls and I play the s#$T out of their Joes, Star Wars, marvel, barbies, etc. It is a crossover universe of universes. They love it all. Just give kids proper attention and don’t introduce the bull s#!t, I.e. pads, phones, etc.
