How do you feel about Disney's Start Wars toys and merchandising? Did they get that right at least?

I would buy this one in a heart beat, but I'm too old for this now.

Dont tell me to go to /toy/, fuck you.

I used to buy a lot of the kenner 90's sw shit.
A lot.
I picked up one of these newest figures and though the style and proportions are more true to life, I got he impression that the resin being used was way shittier, more flimsy.
I mean a lot can change in 25 odd years of plastic production.
If it's like anything else I'd suppose that skimmpage occurred like with everything else today.

Dunno if it's just me though.

Very hit or miss. Most of the RO are winners, but the ST are fucking garbage. Even the LEGO sets are like flipping a coin. The best ones are just redesigns of classics. Rey's speeder is good tho

No, they honestly don't. In fact, Disney fucked up so much that everyone hates Star Wars. Kids now are liking the MCU but soon that's just gonna be SJW Propaganda.

Seconding this. Apparently you're not allowed to criticize Star Wars because it's for kids, but from what I've seen kids think Star Wars is shit too.

Don't know why they bother with that shit, when I was a kid I never used them.
They replaced the lego guns with ugly stud launchers last time I saw, what the fuck are they doing?

Also a /toy/fag, I feel like as toyetic as Star Wars shit is the sequels really missed a lot of opportunities for new imperial designs and ships/creatures/setpieces. I generally don't mind recolors but the fact that the sithtrooper was all the last one could throw out there was pretty disappointing. That said the toys themselves are higher quality than they've ever been, it's just a shame the universe never expanded much with the last movies. Occasionally they'll put out some SOTR or old EU shit so that's nice.

That's the most staggering thing about the new movies. Divided as people were on the prequels at the very least kids wanted the toys. I was young when ROTS came out and I remember my parents and I having to wait outside the ToysRUs to get a chance to get anything, even with an entire aisle and a front feature devoted to it. Then for ROS it barely even had two pegs and a shelf at Walmart, I know the landscape of retail has changed a lot in fifteen years but to see how little presence it has compared to other toy lines is pretty indicative of how little kids give a shit anymore. 15 years ago they did a promotional photo op for ROTS and now they even give more shelf space to those tiny arcade cabinets.

They made just about every mistake you could make with a toy line.
>5poa with lazy sculpts after years of getting great sculpts and movement in Star Wars figures
I mean, I wanted to buy a Rey figure because her outfit was cool, but man, those faces were terrible on just about every figure they put out
>don't do figures of aliens and interesting-looking characters like the Knights of Ren
>Do Jedi Master Luke, but don't give him his green lightsaber, even though it was in flashbacks in the movie
Even Power of the Force gave everyone some kind of blaster or accessory, whether it was in the movies or not. Enabling play value like that should be a no-brainer.

They've really phoned it in and it's a shame. The only Disney era stuff I've bought is the Vintage Collection Kylo Ren. That used to be the standard for quality, and now it's the "special" limited line.

Hi, I work at an elementary school and have been to several in the past for work.

In all the schools I've visited, only about 3 kids actually liked Star Wars. Of those, only one says he play with SW related merch, and that was really only LEGO (he also prefers prequel era stuff instead of original or sequel.)

For play or display?
If you're getting one for show, get the 19 inch JAKKS Death Trooper. Sure it's 5poa, but it displays well and you can find it for under $30.

There's also a 31" version, but that's a bit much size wise.

They started in late 70s. Many of mine are still in good condition after freezing, burying, shooting with bbs and sling shots. I don't know what you mean by "shitty"
>>8033683
>merchandising
Hardly even happening. There's practically nothing on the shelves, even around the movie dates. Not because shelves are depleted but, because Disney isn't putting product out.

How are they mishandling this opportunity so bad?
