>barely out there
Nah, it was still everywhere until maybe 1983. Disco's fall took years and even had to be relabeled to get people to not be immediately scared away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3tnOVideSo

People who weren't alive and just repeat memes, like you, don't actually know what it was like.

Like i said, you're currently living in a situation where something like Star Wars is suffering a similar fate, but look at how long and still everywhere shit like Star Wars was until 2021 or 2020. When was the last time a normie even remembered STar Wars? 2020 with Baby Yoda?

>but the franchise as a whole is still a money making, merchandising juggernaut.
ooof...
This is like crowing about Star Wars being number 1 at the box office and making $46million ... but the movie cost $300million to make. And the only competition were foreign movies and documentaries. And it was Labor Day Weekend.

Fact is, GI Joe (and star wars) has lost a shit ton of support at retail. The biggest toy store in the world (Walmart) only carries the line at half of its stores. It sells so poorly that half of those stores only give the bare minimum amount of pegs, whereas actual popular lines get ~10 pegs. Same with Target, who only put out the bare minimum pegs. That's not a good sign.
And physical retail still makes up 9/10ths of sales in the US.

I mean, back when Star Wars was actually popular, Star Wars usually got an entire aisle for itself during movie years. The only time Star Wars got that after Disney bought Star Wars was for Force Awakens, but the next movie got half an aisle... and the movie after that got half an aisle... and then it shrank to 1/4th of an aisle. By the time the last movie came out, Star Wars had 8 pegs, like GI Joe used to get back in the 10s, after its movie bombed and had no media support. gigantic decline in sales, which reflected how unpopular Star Wars became.
Does GI Joe even have 8 pegs today?

So the fact that you confuse something existing with it being popular, it's literally a delusion.

Pic shows the absolute dearth of Star Wars at retail. A movie year, with next to no space for Black Series figures, when before it would have >20 pegs for it.

are you dumb or are you stupid?

And again, it doesn't matter if it would have sold or not. What matters if retails even cared to carry it. -and they obviously didn't, hence it going on Haslab.

I don't know if you've noticed, but stores are unwilling to carry shit like they used to.

>>11319557
HasLab is to use as little money as possible, to ensure penny pinching accounts can't say no to these projects. So no kickstarter, because that takes away a rather large chunk of money.
It's as close to charity for fans as Hasbro will get.

i know nothing about Transformers apart from what i liked as a kid in the 80s.

>all these words just to admit he was also referring to large ticket items, despite claiming it wasn't him
So I'm right and you're wrong.

i can see you're trying to shift the definition of a big ticket item, because you need to deflect, but let's ignore this, because this is unimportant to what I've said.

So going back to my post, did you notice how the images i posted only has images of VEHICLES? Now, you may not know this, but GI Joe was a toyline that had cheapo small figures too. So that WALL of vehicles are to support those action figures, to make MORE revenue/profits for Hasbro. Note that not all of them are giant vehicles/playsets or even large vehicles. A good portion of those are small and medium sized vehicles.
That WALL of vehicles has completely disappaered since the 10s. Pic is to demonstrate how it was into the 00s vs the 10s.

So when you say "you clearly were referring to the entire toy market " how can that be true, if I'm demonstrating one of the biggest examples of big ticket items supporting an action figure line (small ticket items)?

I'll wait for you to answer this before going on, because i want to make sure your retarded brain has been able to keep up.

>licensing fees/costs have aMASSIVE factor in this too which you completely gloss over. Major IPs like Marvel and Star Wars have massive royalties that are paid in tens of millions
You'd have a point, if we already didn't have a hundred thousand different toylines since 1980 proving that no matter the property, toys have always been similarly priced. Sometimes other lines were more expensive, despite having less articulation.

nevermind the Star Wars property has been in a decline since 2016 and hasbro has renewed the license at least 2 times since then. This has given Hasbro multiple chances to renegotiate a better price given how horrible the market is for Star Wars now.

Also, i just went to a Target i rarely go to the other day and they still had Han Solo movie figures on their shelves. 2018 toys in 2024.
