Late 2000s/early 2010s-black friday and christmas season was a period of a plethora of new toys and figures. Fast forward to now and barely anything comes out this time of the year. Why did the companies have to make christmas shit? Dont they want to make money so why would they refuse to put new product out until after the new year?

Remember when movie/show toys came out before the movie or show released? Now they come out like 2 years after

You can thank disney and their retarded fear of spoilers for that. Theyd rather burn millions on merch revenue then potentially spoil the movie

In the era of everything people want is downloadable content, there is nothing tangible to put under a tree. Except for the latest device to use them like a new tablet or phone. But hose run in the thousands.

It doesn't help that the figures that they have had ready to go immediately after the movie/show is released have all been for total flops like The Eternals and The Acolyte.

I dont understand how they can be so fucking stupid. They wasted literal millions not having toys of the raimi villains and of the past two spider men in time for no way home and instead only releasing them two years after the fact
>>11646795
I dont know why shitsney prioritizes garbage content like the acolyte over stuff people actually are excited for or want. TVC line for star wars is absolutely ruined now because most of the figures are andor shit or from the acolyte and are just a bunch of boring humans in brown jackets. Its no wonder star wars doesn't sell anymore cuz they made it so boring.

they could care less about spoilers, they give material to toy companies that later get cut from the film!

Grogu was a special exception, they purposefully withheld him from the merch push to give fans a WOW moment, which I think worked

there is a small amount of "advertisement" to be gained by merchandising something heavily. if parents see merch for [THING] it must be what the kids want to see, right?

people "remember" the Star Wars toy release frenzy and assume that if something new gets a similar treatment, it must be worthwhile.

that's why things like The Eternals got lots of merch, it's a form of advertising

it's not about spoilers it's avoiding what happen with things like Eternals where you have a massive bomb compounded with merc that never sells eating even more money from you.

They are getting more cautious hence why things like the 3rd Ant man film getting very little merc at launch because they sooner be late to the party than have billions in unsold merc.And consdiering how that went it showed them that, yes, better to offer nothing the the mindless consumers and bring it out later for them(look at baby Yoda/Grogu) than to flood your market with Rose Tico that to this day, nine years later, can be found in clearance sections.

Hasbro didn't have any confirmation of any of them being in No Way Home until they saw the movie in theaters themselves. They clearly scrambled to get the three Spider Men some and then did the villains. Usually Marvel lets Hasbro know the general plot or gives them preliminary design work to base figures off of, but they just didn't do that for NWH. Everything was kept secret as long as possible.

Thats what i was complaining about, disney was fucking stupid being so secretive and wasting billions in the process by missing the mark on merch that didnt coincide with the movies release
