Jakks Pacific would rather sell a giant hugely unnecessary and boring playset, that will inevitably end up on discount like every single other play set that they have ever made, than just simply make figures people want to buy and distribute them well.
>>11802507Jakks will do absolutely ANYTHING to avoid making a new 2.5” character and stick to their comfort zone of making things nobody will buy. Unless of course it’s a DC variant (it’s 85% likely at this point that Starfire Blaze will be the only 2.5” Blaze figure ever)
Jakks also relishes and adores releasing waves that include 4/5 re-releases of old figures, but will avoid at ALL COSTS ever giving a chance to re-buy extremely scarce characters they already made, like Charmy Bee. The thought of re-releasing something people will actually buy scares the fuck out of them. We need more Classic Sonic with chili dog.
I cannot wait for Tangle to never be repacked into a wave that will actually see store shelves. It’s a really good thing they made so many Monkey Ball figures that the entire US population would have to buy 2 each in order to sell them all. That prevented us from the terrifying scenario of having a robust and well-distributed line of Sega collectibles. It really makes them look smart that the reason their line failed was because nobody could even get the fucking things.
Absolute boneheaded company. It will never stop pissing me off that the DC line is the only time they’ve ever had any sense about how to sell these things. I shouldn’t have to check 16 different discount chains because these fucking moron dumbasses couldn’t figure out how to distribute their toys before all the stores said “fuck it” and dumped the stock elsewhere. Why can’t all the Sonics and Aiais be taken to Burlington?
