If you think you can guess which one I mean, you're probably right. There's a lot of them.

When a character gets a solid figure release but never in the design you and everyone else wants.

Looking at you, Devilman. Holy shit I just want a standard looking OVA/manga design, not this stupid artist redesign #28436.

For all the shit TRU used to get, atleast I was able to regularly get a hold of the figures I was after. The current strategy of spinning a wheel to chose whichever retailer gets a certain toyline first isn't cutting it. Im at the point now where I genuinely rather buy everything on amazon than go out and buy it. Retail sucks ass and the wu-flu makes the entire process all the more meddlesome.

Right now its definitely Playmates' stranglehold on Ninja Turtles toys causing NECA to turn to target and walmart exclusivity. Two retailers that don't believe in toy preorders.

Pokemon is still a massive juggernaut of a franchise. Why the fuck is WCT so shit with releases that there's no solid block of shelf space of all the Pokemon toys? Why sporadic waves with repacks and one or three new Pokemon, when it could've been like 10 or 20 per wave? Why are half of the deluxe figgas worse quality than a fucking Happy Meal toy? And why is it that Murica is last to get anything new when EU already is on the newest wave while Walmarts and Targets still have tons of Psyducks and Ludicolos only? The fuck.

Definitely agree with you on Bandai, cant really comment on GSC because I'm not sure what you mean. I know for Figmas they just like making particular characters and that's it, not necessarily cancelling anything

I hated how WCT basically fucked over their loud house line. Most popular cartoon on TV besides spongebob and all they release are a few of the plushies and the non posable figurines. They didnt even make the blind box packs.

I think they half ass alot of their work and only released as many plushies as they did because they didnt need to make new molds for them. Even then they barely made any of the plushies they showed off, and some sisters like leni didnt even get a plushie. I think WCT is seriously underdeveloped or something and licensors should stay away from then at all cost.

Not even joking, Jazwares is probably TLH's only hope now. Which is a shame considering how big it is. Aside from spongebob it's just about the only cartoon that I've seen virtually everyone enjoy.
