Thoses days were fun you could find lots of stuff in stores I remember here in 🇨🇦 toys r us had 20 foot long alleys dedicated to star wars now if you have 4 feet long you are lucky
Kids don't play with toys anymore in general. Those that do? Girls don't want action figures, and boys don't want female action figures. Disney needs to Understand Gender Again.
And to think Starwars used to be for everybody, and everybody would buy the toys for their collection. Now, Starwars is for a select few. And that select few don't even partake in capitalism.
Wasn’t there a time when companies would do research for if a toy would sell? Clearly someone didn’t do this research beforehand and still not doing research.
At SDCC this year the Marvel Legends Team said they aren't making MCU figures until after the movie/ show comes out because they've been burned in the past.
The problem is the market research was conducted by the dei priests telling the corporate executives that this is what consumers want, then the corporate executives are confused about why it's not working because they keep listening to the dei priests instead of the customers.
This Japanese man invented a machine called the Blest Machine that can covert plastic to oil. I wonder if those toys are the right kind of plastic to be able to be converted back to oil.
If someone were to buy all these and fund a Robot Chicken-style show and just find interesting ways to destroy the characters in every scene, it'd be glorious.
Kids are moving on from toys at a younger age then they used to. There are so many more options for kids today for entertainment. Toy lines like Star Wars originally sold well in the early 80's because there was no internet, no free to play games like roblox, no smartphones, and no streaming.
You’re using your adult lenses. Kids left toys because the toy companies stopped making engaging products for kids. Never mind the fact that the cool toys started becoming very difficult to find in store around 2011. The move to tablets and smart phones was a forced response.
@@Chronically0nlineBingo, adults see the toys as woke, but what a young boy sees is an ugly warrior woman with a bald head, a girl dressing as Indiana jones but not being Indiana jones, a middle-aged Asian guy who may look like their dad in a Jedi robe. The Eternals characters all wear the same generic tunics. It’s not diversity that kills these products it’s just that the characters are not interesting.

Minimum wage Zoomer losers could care less about who is wondering around their store. Besides they have probably quit, been fired or just not shown up by now
I only recently found out we have an Ollie's about 15 mins away from me. My first trip in was about two months ago, I've been back three times since, they STILL have pegs full of Black Series and "What If..." figures. It doesn't look like they're selling at all (which is no surprise to me). I thought it might be because of them being in a smaller town, but this confirms that has nothing to do with it.
when I saw $19.99 on that one "barbie" I thought, "so when does the sale start?" - not even for a buck.. honestly wouldn't even take the whole pallet of them for a penny - not even a joke, like why waste the penny, throw it in a wishing well or something - save yourself the gas and time from the trip to the county dump a few weeks later?!?!
It doesn’t have to go into a landfill. There are exciting new designs for plastic flood prevention fences and large plastic balls added to concrete production to lighten building weight.
I don't know why, but always seeing that many Shuri Coptors makes me laugh. I thought I would eventually be sad at how far Disney merch has fallen, but no, still laughing...Am I at the apathy stage?
I think a lot of people who watch this channel for these videos are at that stage where they want to love Star Wars but those in charge are so out of their minds that they rather chase phantoms than their actual customers!!
I was reflecting on why I like these videos so much and find them so relaxing. The image that came to me was walking over a battlefield and enjoying the sight of the corpses of the enemies.
I went to a toy store called "Toy Liquidators" one time and found Mint NIB Mask Figures. They had "Gator" and "Buzzard" I bought them both and played with them endlessly. Glad something like this exist. Too bad they just have all of Disney now instead of cool toys.
The fact that those iron heart masks were already made to go for this year shows you how deep the production pipeline is and how long it takes. Even though the crappy show got delayed the products are out. Just like the captain falcon McDonalds debacle
At least the Iron heart masks make EXCELLENT cosplay custom fodder. Paint it and glue styrene over one eye and you end up with a pretty good Deathatroke.
Imagine your first memory being some random guy from Toys for Tots dumping a bunch of Shuri Copters and Shang Chi figures in your room. Also, I'm pretty sure most of those toys are choking hazards.
It just occurred to me that Just Stop Oil should plant themselves in front of Hasbro instead of art museums or fuel companies. I'd rather have cheap gas and no plastic Revas.
Never forget that it all started with an astroturfed Twitter campaign back in 2015 to force Toys-R-Us to stock more Rey figures. A handful of weirdos killed the entire toy industry for a quick dopamine hit.
This reminds me of when my favorite store kept selling out of Ghost of Tsushima, and kept having to restock, while TLOU2 were all sitting gathering dust. 😂
Has anyone considered for the extremely low cost of manufacturing these toys offshore that it's part of a large scale money laundering operation and these toys are just the waste byproduct?
Transformers One deserves a better box office, movie is fantastic, but the toys for the kids are alright, hopefully kids want them so they sell to help warrant a sequel. Not excited for the Gi-Joe Transformers movie though, just seems like a step back.
That robot with the goose is what the little kids wanna see My wife and I went to see TF One and it was just us in the theater… two gen x members We both enjoyed it, but it seems the movie doesn’t have broader appeal Maybe it’ll get more attn streaming, but that robot and goose movie was all the rage with the young uns
I missed the woke part, too I enjoyed its take on Megatron (dude is rage driven and arguably rightfully so… way better character than Prime IMO) and was amused to see it left that stupid trope of Bumblebee being mute in the past That EarthSpark show seems guilty of pandering to THE MESSAGE, but I didn’t sense any of that in TF One I guess we see what we want
The closest thing to “woke” in the movie is Elita-1’s attitude, but even she knows she needs the men to lead and save the day. She’s not a girl boss, she is just playing 4th fiddle in the group.
Why does Oliver's even take these toys anymore? They deserve that eternal dirt nap currently enjoyed by the Atari ET cartridges and unwanted Funco Pop toys.
Unwanted Funco is right. Store near me deals in Amazon closeouts and overstocks. They have had Star Wars Funco pops for a dollar. Everything is a dollar. They don't sell even at a dollar each. Nobody wants them.
Because the more Disney 'crepe' Ollies takes the more money Disney will have to dish to for still marketing it. Although i'd be laughing somemore if Disney is gonna pay Ollies back with more Disney toys than cash
Hey, if the kids who are less fortunate get new toys and not used toys it is a bonus. Yes the franchise is totally down the sarlacc mouth, but atleast they have some have value for those kids that are happy to accept stuff and be gratefull! And i mean that in a good way, most kids are so ungratefull if they dont get the newest of new stuff under the xmas tree. And there better be more then 10 gifts! What happend to be gratefull what you get!
I've loved mermaids all my life, and I agree that doll is pretty. I have a collection of mermaid collectibles, and mermaids have been in stories all over the world. So I wish -- instead of doing a race swap on Ariel -- Disney had told one of the stories of a Black mermaid from Africa or Melanasia or somewhere. Then it wouldn't have been perceived as changing the story from one culture to another, and it would've been creative. 🤷🏾♀️
the sorta-holiday music, the piles of old toys, the yellow lights, the eerie aisles it makes me feel nostalgic for an american experience i'll never have
Those Rey, DJ and Holdo etc figures still holding out "against all odds" crack me up. I guess they'll still be there at the heat death of the universe.
As a ship nut, it always pains me to see those scale model Star Wars ships wasting away on shelves... I wish there was an Ollie's closer to Canada... I would rescue an entire fleet.
You should come to the Walmart here in North Carolina, ESPECIALLY the one in Clinton. It's such a mess! Then the Ollie's in Lumberton, it'll make your head spin.
My LCS had one before everything was packed up and moved out of the old location. If it's back in the new place down the road, I'll give you an update.
I was at Ollie's this morning. It occurred to me that a could stock up on Everett Ross figures just swap the head with various unmasked Marvel Legends dudes of similar plastic skin tone. It'd be like all the heroes were going to a funeral.
13:46 anyone else remember that time Disney thought The Mandolarian wouldn’t do well and they didn’t have baby yoda merch for Christmas? WOW did Disney f it up! Now it’s setting by the case at Ollie’s 🍿🍿🍿🤣🤣🤣
Have you given any thought to a comic/graphic novel project told from the point of view of a toy or group of toys that were dumped years ago at an Ollie's, waiting to be bought and slowly coming to the realization that they never will? Sort of a depressing version of "Toy Story"?
@@thewanderer7307 Pete ended up as a collector's item being surpposely "Mint in box", worth money, where's this stuff is destined to end to the nearest recycling centre as its not worth much as it is and would be worth more, once melted down and put to better use!
Did anyone else notice a theme, or pattern, to the products that don't sell? The only way to profit off of this insanity might be if there were a specific publicly traded company that produced only brown plastic paint/dye that one could buy stock in... Yet BILLIONS are still being spent pandering to this relatively non-existent market sector. It really is about 90% of everything I saw in the video. And it really proves that even the activists that demand this type of "representation" (extreme over-representation would be more accurate) in media products don't actually care about what they are supposedly fighting for and are really only doing it because they have so much hate in them and want others to suffer for their own sick twisted personal pleasure. Ruined an entire production company (MCU and Star Wars, so two actually, if not many more) and then just walked away before the dust even settled from the implosion they caused.
Something mesmerizing watching these videos. Love the music, it adds a great touch. It's almost like visiting a bizarro universe Toys r Us. Thank you for another great video. Keep up the great work Jeff!
No one is interested in movie theme toys, anymore. As the people who were interested in those franchises have walked away from it, and kids want something less real. That's why Lego is so popular, and damn expensive. Time to refill that ET landfill.
the beautiful thing about a child not plopped in front of this corporate screen pablum is most of those toys are AWESOME to any child blessedly unaeare of the story. they can turn them into their own heroes... like toys are supposed to... not dictate the story... generate creativity... not to sound like that trash wood toy from Toy Story.. but.. Imagination rules!
I love these videos and especially your commentary. I'm truly astounded by corporations that have no clue what might sell. There was a time when marketing depts could figure this out but I assume they are all filled with activists now. Who would want an action figure of some random guy in a suit??
Sad thing is that Disney made there money when they sold the rights to the toy companies already, so it don't effect them if these toys fail only the manufacturers. The toy makers need to boycott Disney and then Disney will start feeling the heat.

Can't wait for the Concord and Dustborn merch to arrive! I need some inclusive gifts to appease woke protestors if I get harassed..
Ship all the Star Wars and Marvel merch to the Disney theme parks and they'll have no problem selling them for triple the price
rubbing my eyes vigorously* but you are correct
Ikr! Lately it's only the most zealous Disneyphiles going to those overpriced parks, and they'll buy anything.

And yes, classic Disney too is in the same boat now.
As a ship nut, it always pains me to see those scale model Star Wars ships wasting away on shelves... I wish there was an Ollie's closer to Canada... I would rescue an entire fleet.
Depends where you live in Canada, l'm in Ontario and there's one less than an hour from me and another 3 within 2 hrs.
Shame we doin’t have Olie’s in 🇨🇦 or an equivalent store
A friend of mine got some ships from an Etsy shop online, there are lots of niche shops that can ship to Canada. . .
Oh, you got a Bebe's kids reference in there 😂
You should come to the Walmart here in North Carolina, ESPECIALLY the one in Clinton. It's such a mess! Then the Ollie's in Lumberton, it'll make your head spin.
DEI keeps Ollies shelves stocked. Though it doesn't help if people don't even buy it from Ollies.
I don't care what anyone says. The Rose Tico action figure will be the treasure of all treasures amongst collectors
My LCS had one before everything was packed up and moved out of the old location. If it's back in the new place down the road, I'll give you an update.
I have the regular and Black Series stashed away 😆
Am very certain the recent commenters have never heard of the
"What grandma said to her grandchildren meme"
YES!!! Always a joy to see this, only downside I found this upload right after I ate my bag of chips.
I wish my Ollie's had Archie ReAction figures
I'm going to Ollie's today
I fine that watching these while drinking a nice cap and coke makes it even better cheers man for having to look at all this crap in person
I can't believe you just glossed over the Transformers 😢 so much good content
0:21 - That middle Kai Brightstar is looking into my soul and I find it quite unsettling.
I was at Ollie's this morning. It occurred to me that a could stock up on Everett Ross figures just swap the head with various unmasked Marvel Legends dudes of similar plastic skin tone. It'd be like all the heroes were going to a funeral.
13:46 anyone else remember that time Disney thought The Mandolarian wouldn’t do well and they didn’t have baby yoda merch for Christmas? WOW did Disney f it up! Now it’s setting by the case at Ollie’s 🍿🍿🍿🤣🤣🤣
The background music is on point! lol
17:14, I didn't know Nerdrotic had an action figure?
😂
Look at all that crap. And I have to drink my Capri Sun through a paper straw.
Have you given any thought to a comic/graphic novel project told from the point of view of a toy or group of toys that were dumped years ago at an Ollie's, waiting to be bought and slowly coming to the realization that they never will? Sort of a depressing version of "Toy Story"?
Perfect title: "The Toy Wars"
Ep 1: realisation
Ep 2: the escape
Ep 3: the Revenge
Ep 4: aftermath
Ep 5: final hope
Ep 6: destruction
Ep 7: rebirth
Considering the numbers involved, it would have to be more like Attack of the Clones.
Pretty sure that'll be the plot of Toy Story 10.
Pretty sure Toy Story 2 already did that with Stinky Pete.
@@thewanderer7307 Pete ended up as a collector's item being surpposely "Mint in box", worth money, where's this stuff is destined to end to the nearest recycling centre as its not worth much as it is and would be worth more, once melted down and put to better use!
The Tessa Thompson part had me rolling 😅
Phoebe Willbe Sitting on A Shelf forever.
They couldn't pay me to take that garbage.
Been a while since I last my Ollie's for something, but got a second one opening that is even closer so I guess this is where the fun begins.
Ollie's probably needs the space for all that accumulating disney trash at the other stores
@@grimlockimusprime7469 I wonder if they’ll start opening Ollie’s : Disney Edition stores
Ollies is running out of space to shelf the trash, so they decide to open a new store!
And of course Disney is paying for the rent.
Did anyone else notice a theme, or pattern, to the products that don't sell? The only way to profit off of this insanity might be if there were a specific publicly traded company that produced only brown plastic paint/dye that one could buy stock in... Yet BILLIONS are still being spent pandering to this relatively non-existent market sector. It really is about 90% of everything I saw in the video. And it really proves that even the activists that demand this type of "representation" (extreme over-representation would be more accurate) in media products don't actually care about what they are supposedly fighting for and are really only doing it because they have so much hate in them and want others to suffer for their own sick twisted personal pleasure. Ruined an entire production company (MCU and Star Wars, so two actually, if not many more) and then just walked away before the dust even settled from the implosion they caused.
Can you imagine the poor person at Olis that has to sign for new inventory. "Ah man NOoooooo!!! Not more Disney crap.
Something mesmerizing watching these videos. Love the music, it adds a great touch. It's almost like visiting a bizarro universe Toys r Us. Thank you for another great video. Keep up the great work Jeff!
who in their right mind would think a kid is interested in an action figure of a man in a suit. And they wonder why they fail?
No one is interested in movie theme toys, anymore. As the people who were interested in those franchises have walked away from it, and kids want something less real. That's why Lego is so popular, and damn expensive. Time to refill that ET landfill.
Ric Flair WWE Superstars figure spotted. Now you can't say that's not cool and not a bargain. Grab em. WOOOOOOOO
WOOOOO!
Hasblow and Disney have really destroyed one of the best franchises in history what a shame, I haven't bought anything Star Wars for years.
Me either because I always knew there would be a far better product for the same price of a single Star Wars figure~
the beautiful thing about a child not plopped in front of this corporate screen pablum is most of those toys are AWESOME to any child blessedly unaeare of the story. they can turn them into their own heroes... like toys are supposed to... not dictate the story... generate creativity...
not to sound like that trash wood toy from Toy Story..
but..
Imagination rules!
I love these videos and especially your commentary. I'm truly astounded by corporations that have no clue what might sell. There was a time when marketing depts could figure this out but I assume they are all filled with activists now. Who would want an action figure of some random guy in a suit??
Sad thing is that Disney made there money when they sold the rights to the toy companies already, so it don't effect them if these toys fail only the manufacturers. The toy makers need to boycott Disney and then Disney will start feeling the heat.
