He says the main reason the sequels were trash and the toys sold poorly were because Disney was following bad marketing trends trying to get Chinese ticket sales and trying to get women into Star Wars by doing things like staring the slogan, "The Force is Female," despite that Star Wars is and probably will always be a primarily male property, and says that it would be like trying to convince boys into liking Barbie, which is a female property. He also says the reason you see so much "diversity" isn't because Disney suddenly wants to become "woke" or political, it's because they want to try and make money in China by putting non-white people and Asians in the movies, which was the case with Rogue One, which had a largely non-white main cast aside form Jyn Erso, and for example Rose Tico in TLJ. They wanted Chinese money, but then would essentially spin it in the Western media that they were doing it to be more PC and that anyone who didn't like it was a racist.

The Forces of Destiny dolls. Where do I even start? It was part of a push to get girls to consoom Star Wars product like boys and manchildren do (which was a flawed idea from the getgo) The idea of an action figure-doll hybrid isn’t inherently bad but Hasbro did it all wrong.
- Molded on clothes. The whole point of a doll is that you can change their outfits.
- Dull character design. Most of the characters are pale brunettes in neutral-colored outfits, not very exiting from a visual standpoint.
- Just a total misunderstanding of what girls like (that was most likely spurred on by feminist agenda pushing)
They were bad action figures because they could barely move and they were bad dolls because you couldn’t change their clothes. No one wanted these so they shelfwarmed like mad.
If Hasbro had made characters with actually pretty outfits like Padme it could have worked, but that wouldn’t be empowering enough apparently.

Most likely.

When Star Wars tried the same thing I've heard from many adult collectors that their daughters would rather have the black series figures instead of the dolls, or just didn't want anything star wars at all.

this is going to kill you, but autistic, ultra hostile gatekeeping "fans" like you are not necessary for Star Wars to succeed. You see that merch in Target, the books all over Barnes & Noble, the Lego sets, the video games, and on and on and on?

Star Wars in mainstream, now. Rey is absolutely needed, because you don't make a billion dollars by just selling to picky, bitchy nerds. you need to cast the widest net, and putting a plucky, cute girl at the front is the way to do it.

Hope for me to be murdered. fine. I will be dead. You, on the other hand, will live a long life watching everything you tried to keep in its little gate get taken away from you and chewed up, liberalized and feminized and resold back to the hungry masses who will carry it around like it the greatest shit ever. Get used to a lot of people liking what you don't like.

>filename clearly says Destinys Bounty 2

So when are we getting SW minidolls? Is this intersection of bley boxes and girls just not a lucrative market for Lego?

>aren't these shelfwarming hard?
They're being rejected hard by doll collectors because of the molded clothes. This is also an issue for little girls. Girls like to dress their dolls and even the mainline DC Superhero Girls and more off the wall lines like Monster High are dressable.

Jyn toys already flopped hard, Rey is decently popular with little girls but adult Star Wars fans are rejecting her and Hasbro is already overshipping her because of the dumb "Where's Rey?" controversy that normies and sojus who didn't understand that she had a figure in every size class but the jumbo figures started. And said figure was announced too they were just to stupid to do research past looking at a shelf. Sabine is fine but girls don't want armor and collectors are pissed that it doesn't look anything like her. But that leaves Leia and Ahsoka to carry the line and the Leia figure people would want is an exclusive locked to a dying store.

The lack of notable female characters in the franchise is another big problem. They stacked them all in wave one. So where does that leave the future? Can they really bank on waves of lesser characters like Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura? It's important to balance out filler characters and main characters. The cartoon is also really fucking ugly and a terrible promotional tool because it's so cheap that it's almost unwatchable.

On top of all that the dolls are just not eye catching. They're a line of bland boring earth tones with no potential for fun new outfits and three white girls with brown hair tied in a bun. What little girl looks at the shelf and says "Mommy I want the one in the brown rags!" Sabine and Speeder Leia are colorful but not many girls are going to want the "badass armor doll" and Leia's a variant that shouldn't be anywhere near wave one.

What's so special about the Disney Store? The Forces of Destiny dolls aren't bad.

Thanks for posting this, I wasn't aware of just how many Padme dolls were made. That's how you sell toys to little girls. Compare your pic to the dolls on the shelves now. Drab as shit.

Imo, Disney fucked up trying to blend action figures and dolls together in these "action dolls". Girls want dolls with brushable hair and removable clothes, boys want action figures with plastic clothes and more articulation. Make pretty dolls for girls and action figures for boys. Easy.

Would it kill them to give Rey an attractive outfit? It doesn't have to be a pink Barbie looking dress, just something better than grey bandages no little girl wants. Disney fucked themselves with that decision.
