>>151978851why is it taking this long for anyone to learnhave all companies just been completely automated for the last 16 years?
>>151978898Why has it taken so long for companies who have spent decades marketing based on "the niche who will buy the most shit" not doing that?Your average normie is just going to buy one glass of their favorite characters. Making this much of a character who doesn't poll to the same level is just fucking stupid
>>151978851I work at the Superstore. The only glass people ever bought was the Iron Man. The others never sold
>>151978851These Matt Smith Doctor Who figurines have been collecting dust at my local Ollie’s for well over a decade. There’s also a Melissa McCarthy Ghostbusters figure that’s been sitting there since 2016. I check for it every time I go.
>>151978898Every major company (which basically just means the 3 megacorps that split all IP in the world between them) is "informed" by the same handful of consulting companies that read the tea leaves of twitter metrics and confuses the internet with reality. So they just keep making the same mistakes over and over again because thats what their market research tells them must be true.Like, try and explain the decision making behind all of the Sony movies that are about spiderman villains but with no spiderman. You can't. No sane person would ever so much as suggest such a thing, but they've made... like 6 of the fuckers?
Why won't moms buy Marvel merch with women for their boys?
>>151979001Why haven't you taken all the Arcee's and made a harem/army yet?
>>151979050Boys don't care about the girl characters. Especially not all the ugly & boring ones in the MCU.
>>151978851Reminds me of the Dump Store near me that gets all the overstock crap other stores don't want, Ollies I think it's called. Seems like a cool business plan. You don't want it, we got space, Dump it here and we'll sell it making little money on unwanted junk.
As someone who just move to a new house, .50 glasses would be a great buy for the kitchen
>>151979001Have long have those Mega XL darts been there?
>>151979001Maybe those doctor who figures would have sold if they didn't look like cheap shit. Figures are supposed to look GOOD god damnit. Why would you buy a figure you don't want to look at on your shelf every day?
>>151979001Mine still has a whole section of Shang Chi toys.
>>151979216These glasses are apparently very fragile, which helps explain the overstock. Though, them all being Black Panther and Black Widow also suggests character unpopularity.
>>151979836Back when I used to work dead-end retail job with the other meth heads, we would sometimes get a chance to secretly break a whole bunch of fragile stuff, such as these glasses, or similar items like plates and dishes or ceramic household decor. It's so satisfying throwing breakable objects at brick walls straight up Bevis and Butthead style. Man I would love to go back to those times.
>>151979889Go back to doing meth?
>>151979563Its criminal how ass western 'collectibles' are. What kind of psychopath actually wants a funko pop plastic homunculus in their living room?
>>151980139Not many & that's why they've fallen off to just be ugly shelf warmers.
>>151980003I still do adderall and it's the same shit.
>>151979563>why does the $9 toy for kids not stack up to the $400+ statue for adultsooo truly a mystery for the ages
>>151978851Zombies ate your neighbors? Better grab the squirt guns, and some silverware in case werewolves show up.
>>151979216I would buy them just to fuck with people. They'd open the cupboard to grab a glass and it's all black widow glasses
>>151978851Now this is just sad...
>>151980232lol damn
>>151979563You are not going to find good quality figures in a supermarket or big brand store. Need to go to a niche hobby store or online toy store to find that. Barnes and Noble also sell decent figures.
>>151978851haha did they assume people would try to collect them all like pokemon when there's no room in the fucking kitchen already?
