The MASSIVE Disney Toy DUMP Grinds to a HALT

Remember that time when Disney virtue signaled that they were a environmentally responsible company by releasing the soundtrack of WALL·E only in a recycled paper envelope instead of a jewel case in order to "Save The Planet", even as they continued to churn out billions of tons of landfill-destined "collectibles".

Hasbro has done a tiny bit of flooding the market in the past couple of years. Their G1 line has been releasing just about every character, just about in original release order and they are getting to the 90's-2000s stuff which isn't as popular. Plus they had a hit with their newer line (I think it was the RescueBots line) and they are trying to branch that line out. Hasbro will do and mess it up, I think it's just starting to happen because they started with just one line and now they're up to 3 or 4 different lines, might even be 5.

[@xavierwalko4175]

Feels like Hasbro overproduces EVERYTHING but what people want: Transformers and Power Rangers. All I can say is, that's what you get for Disney basically doing a hostile takeover.

[@reb3102]

The cost to produce a plastic figure, doing the modeling, mold making, etc is enormous. Now, they can do a steel mold that makes multiple figures, but still, its expensive. I would think the toy companies would have to start rethinking doing every minor character. Or just giving up on certain toy lines like Star Wars. Obviously, no one is buying Star Wars toys now. Even the classic characters.

[@NatYourAverageNerd]

Nobody talks much about the Kevin Smith's He-Man figures being also a common offering at Ollie's, but knowing what he did to one of the best 80's animated heroes of all time gives me a sense of Schadenfreude whenever I see them stacked on the pegs. If he wanted to make a Teela show, all he had to do was say, "We're making a Teela show, so don't expect too much of He-Man in it," and I would've been like, "Okay, fine. I like Teela."

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

He said that they wanted to tackle the story of how Teela became the next Sorceress. And he also said that now that that's out of the way they can go back to focusing on Adam/He-Man. *REAL* fans of MOTU understand this. The rest are still clueless because they drank the Clownfish Kool-Aid.

It’s not necessarily all because they “aren’t” selling. Some of it is due to distribution. GI Joe had been hard to get for a lot of people. Then randomly they show up at Ross and Ollies, when they never hit stores. The crappy figures get over ordered and the good ones never hit.

[@firestarsantos7467]

Yeah, GI Joe is mostly because stores don't carry them, because they aren't "popular"( which is ironic, because that is the Hasbro line that sells consistently, due to having a hardcore fanbase). This is a huge departure from Star wars and Marvel, which do not sell, because nobody wants them, which is east to see due to the figures that are always on clerance are all the main characters....you know the ones who are suppose to sell....

...that Stealing Solo would be a Great idea to do as live action movie

[@bannedfreespeech]

Fanboys did it in 08

[@Robd07]

@@bannedfreespeech but not with kidnapping Harrison Ford. That would be mad funny to see!

[@jeffhreid]

The prices even on clearance are NUTS!

[@paulsmith8664]

As a collector there's not ONE item in that mess I would bring home.

[@emile4449]

You are HILARIOUS, my friend!

[@sweetfeathery]

Thank you for turning me onto Ollie's. I bought some Fortnite toys for my daughter which she loves and made my guildies jealous of the World of Warcraft books I bought for dirt cheap :D

[@1980Triumph]

I appreciate the Hogan shoutout - too many haters are trying to destroy his legacy.

[@francoiseeduard303]

Seeing Beast Wars in stores takes me back to Caldor when I was little! I detest John Stewart. I detest his bad attitude. The animated series made him worse. He got in between Hawkgirl & Hawkman.🤦‍♂️

[@jeffstark8449]

Gijoe was my main obsession as a kid. I have some vintage and been getting the classified. I wish I had an Ollie's near me. I'd love to get a few on sale

[@raulzavala9061]

At 27:20 that looks to be an FYE electronic store and all their junk is way overpriced even on used stuff like DVD's and CD's and they have tons of Funko POP garbage that just sits there, I always wonder how they manage to stay open with nothing being sold.

[@gobgob3628]

the Christmas themed storm trooper was the only cool thing in the starwars line up this year lol

[@rosmundsen]

I have never bought movie merch, but I like these videos.

[@jestucker2268]

I think I'd jump on that HISS Tank and the Rattler...

[@cobraking1419]

Same

[@jeffhreid]

10 yr old me would have loved that GI Joe section. The rattler plane and HISS tank would’ve been awesome to have!

[@joe2134]

Idk if this is related to the lack of interest of customers, but in my country there's a huge wave of discounts on star Wars merchandise, I found it on Amazon. (Not good figures btw)

[@Agamembar]

When you mentioned about the quality of the figures it really stood out to me, if you think about it figures and merch in many cases is now super good quality, like really well made, likeness look really close etc but the brands have been destroyed. So no one cares, if I pick up anything its lego star wars og trilogy stuff but even then I pick an choose. With current tech and manufacturing this should be a new golden age of collecting awesome stuff but isn't.

[@FearMonarch]

wow! Space Jam 2 toys with the Lebron heads still attached!

[@gigantor803]

The Bandai Star Wars kits are great.

[@danielroden9424]

when you fail ESG and DEI kids up and they lack talent and business acumen.

[@CountryCarReviews]

You should film at Ollie’s Army Night that’s coming up to see if anyone buys the Disney crap at 25% off

[@TheDukeofMadness]

Love these travelogue videos.

[@burritoboy2751]

I don't collect G.I. Joe but I really want that Hiss Tank.

[@erikhawkke4861]

3/4th of those Transformers I see around that store were exclusives to Target and Walmart that never made it to shelves in the stores.. and then Target has the gall to complain they didn't sell.

[@zeusdavid17]

19:51 Speaking of blind boxes, I bought 2 LEGO minifig boxes to get X-Men 90s Wolverine. I got it, but I also got MCU She-Hulk. Ugh.

[@dreamer8448]

Why do I like thoese videos??, 🤣🤣🤣😎

[@dermagnus8482]

Always a Highlight for me. 😊

[@thunderrobots1980s]

they overproduce the stuff that won't sell and underproduce the things that the customers want

[@ladymacbethofmtensk896]

How much do you want to bet the merchandise for the recent Marvels movie get dumped on Ollie's before Christmas? To rot on Ollie's shelves forever and ever.
