I haven't bought Neca in 7 years, but they'd always show shit like the 8 bit Simon Belmont, then go "the licensor won't LET us release it!", or the Team Fortess 2 figures, like you have the license...you have the proto... you're not making anything else from the license...what the fuck.

Game companies are generally bitches about licensing because they don't get as much revenue from it as they do game sales or DLC shit. Pokemon & Mario are the only franchises Nintendo gives a shit to license out. Most other companies don't much see the point. The licensing fees they're paid are nothing compared to their main revenue sources. Some companies are also notorious about being very picky about what gets made.

The line flopped because instead of making a series for mecha fans (aka hetrosexual males) or 80s kids who want to revisit their childhood (also almost completely hetrosexual males), they targeted mentally ill LGBT people who make up about 2% of the human population and are some of the lowest spenders.

They did this with Transformers in the comics and they learned that the LGBT LOVED the book, so much so they loved downloading and pirating it and never buying a single Transformers figure

I know it's a tired meme, but you want to go broke? Go Woke.

I think in the case of NECA it was likely that the licenseholders saw how awful the product was going to be and told them "No, you aren't tarnishing our brand with that shit". Hence Randy bitching about them being "hard to work with".

I'm honestly surprised Playmates hasn't folded already.
-Cancel-happy
-No Ninja Turtles show to make toys of with the movie being released next year forcing them to try and wank nostalgia and reissue old figures with other companies making more TMNT merchandise than them
-Got the license for flops like nu-Ben 10 and Power Players
>Somehow got the Star Trek license back despite fucking up the 2009 line with Viacom likely to take it away again and probably give it to Spinmasters or some shit
>The toyetic Monsterverse toys are only at Wal-Mart
-Their only in-house IP Skeleton Warriors flopped due to their stupidity in the 90s (Releasing the titular villains before the heroes and cancelling the line right after showing prototypes like they did with pretty much every 90s line)

NECA's definition of "hard to work with" is "has standards above bottom of the barrel". I mean, Jesus, when VALVE thinks your products are too shit for their license, you KNOW you fucked up. There's a reason NECA is practically the punchline to a joke on this board.

Wrong. The only reason that classification is anywhere on there is because they make more than toys you dumb retard. But you'll keep vomitting up "nondurable blah blah" because that's the only troll talking point you have.

There's a reason why there's tons of third party and bootleg toys of Konami and Capcom characters fucktard. The companies are shit and difficult to work with.
