Hotwheels cars are $1-2 for generic ones. $5 for the fancier branded ones. Have nice metallic paint, made of metal, etc.
Meanwhile this ornament is probably like $10, cheaply painted, and doesn't move and appears entirely plastic?
Why not make a nice looking christmas car with a loop at the top you can attach the ribbon too making a functional hot wheels car toy, that doubles as an ornament?
Same for the optimus prime - these things are like $20 for a 4 inch static figure. 4 inch transformers that rudimentarily transform themselves are like $12 - why not make a functional one that can also be an ornament?
They would be better quality items, appeal to more people, I just don't get it. Ornaments usually sell out every year anyways - why not have them be good ones.
