What's so bad about this toy? My Walmart has been selling them since they came out, still has a metric fuckton of them in stock, and has frequently reduced the cost and they still aren't selling.

There is a huge fucking display of these things for $10 each and they are STILL not selling.

Nothing really. They just made way too many of them and the movie wasn't really a kids movie so it didn't really get the market traction needed for these to move well.

Literally anywhere BUT Walmart. If I need groceries, I go to a grocery store. If I need tools, I go to a hardware store. If I need clothes or towels or bed sheets, I go to a middle-market department store.

If you go to Walmart, you'd probably come out with MRSA or something from touching the shopping carts after they were previously handled by shart-stained bottom feeders. I can only imagine the types of rednecks and shitskins that would voluntarily go to such a place.

It’s weird, and a problem literally no one else seems to have. Asking for a big monkey to fight my Jakks Godzilla is apparently too much to ask.

Bonus: store carries the entire Rampage line.

The fact that you can make a figure at that size and cheap price makes me wish we could get more giant monsters like Inhumanoids. One of my ideas for a toyline would be for giant monsters that can be used with other toys as enemies. Wish more companies would do cool designs like this instead of boring Hollywood designs.

Here's the thing: when the Kong toys first came out, they sold out pretty quickly before the movie came out. When the movie premiered, the toys were nowhere to be found. By the time Walmart got a restock, Skull Island was gone from theaters for a few months already. You could chalk this up to Walmart's usual horrible planning and distribution.

I did pick him up at 7 bucks though. Fun for it's size but I wish he had some sort of bicep swivel so he could carry other toys with his grabbing hand a little better.

Because the Walmart came in and destroyed the small business that used to provide those services. Then, when the other stores closed, the former employees became Walmart employees. Then, because Walmart pays shit and doesn't offer good hours, they all rolled into welfare.

It's kind of hilarious, in a sick sort of way. You work for and buy from the people that put you on welfare and keep you in poverty.

Guess how we all figured out that you're some loser NEET that doesn't understand the real world? The difference between a 30 hour work week and a 40 hour work week when both are near minimum wage is the deciding factor for welfare eligibility. Walmart is more than likely to have almost all of its staff working under 30 hours, whereas a specialty shop will have few employees that will work 9-5, and often on weekends.
