This is a dope idea theory. A fully articulated 1:12 scale animal line. Companies like Schleich shows that there is a demand for this, but their figurines are cheap. You can look at the the success of the Jurassic Park line, but Jurassic Park is dinosaurs and what kid doesn't like dinosaurs.
Sure certain animals would do well like horses, apex predators, (wolves, bears, crocodilians, etc.) Big cats would move. Dudes would buy an elephant just off of strength of it being a big ass elephant. I imagine birds of prey would be popular as well as certain breeds of dogs and bovine. You can throw in mythical beasts, but as you're seeing there's only a finite amount of dope animals. A guy might be on the fence about a 1:12 scale giraffe, panda, reindeer, or big horn sheep, but do you actually see dudes buying squirrels, goats, platypuses, pigeons, roosters, or pigs?

I'm not really sure. I've bought individual articulated animals to pose with other lines before, like the fantastic super articulated 1:12 scale lion Aslan from the first Narnia movie toy line. I really think an all animal line would have to hit a crossover sweetspot with other lines to sell well.
I think 1:12th scales going to be hard to sell to retailers as most animals are substantially bigger than humans and will take a lot more shelf space. The recent under performing Kong and Jumanji lines were mostly animals but they didn't seem to sell well since they were clearanced out at Ollies so I expect retailers to be cautious toward any animal lines. The best bet would be to make an online only niche line like Mauraders or Boss Fight Studios. |
