The WORTHLESS Mountain of Disney Junk KILLS The Toy Market 

Fun fact, kids don't want shit toys.

Remember everyone, this is why Toys-R-Us died.

The amount of plastics and non recyclable materials all going to landfill with this stuff , almost as bad as the movie industry itself. Shameful

Hasbro has to be pissed off at Disney at this point

Action figures should not cost $15 without coming with a vehicle. Without, they should be $5.

Two things are a certainty in life: 1. We are all gonna die someday 2. No one will ever buy a ShuriCopter

In the future, Archeologists will keep digging up Shuri Copters. They will think it was our Goddess

Doesn’t surprise me that the Godzilla x Kong toys are selling because even if the toys aren’t good they are at least fairly priced and kids will definitely take cool looking giant monsters over a boring looking lady in a jumpsuit.

The toy consumer base that once existed inbetween pre-schoolers and adult collectors no longer exists. The disappearance of Saturday morning cartoons. The proliferation of digital entertainment (especially free-to-play games). It's a perfect storm hitting the toy manufacturers.

These dummies really thought kids would be running around pretending to be shuri? 😂😂

As a father of a young boy who rarely plays with toys, it doesnt surprise me to see these things sitting on store shelves. Kids arent into them anymore.

The earth is littered with the ruins of empires and kingdoms that thought they were eternal.

Imagine being the ceo who turned hasbro into…this. Losing billions a year. Hell, lost a billion alone last quarter! That’s a skill! …I think.

Honestly could be a Toy Story plot all its own: Woody and the gang wind up missing on a trip yet again, only this time they find themselves at a remote thrift store with endless isles of toys that were rejected and never bought. What makes it wild could be the inclusion of the shopkeeper, who is a kid at heart but has been around the toys for so long he knows that they actually talk, and he put up with it for so long that the toys and the shopkeep converse like nothing is weird. As for plot, lets say the shopkeep really doesnt want to throw away all the excess toys that build up over time, and usually when its time to purge the store, he gathers huge amounts of them to be donated to developing countries where children may never get toys where they live. What could happen is the shopkeepers boss comes and finds out he has lagged behind on selling the sadly unpopular toys and orders the entirety of the toys inside the store to be sent to the junkyard, and immediately has a bunch of workers scooping toys into trash trucks. Now with the shopkeep, the toys are generally acting like themselves. The rejects dont act like their characters for the most part, like real people, and are comfortable with the shopkeeper because he can keep a secret. But with other humans, they obviously act like objects. Near the climax of the film, the boss and shopkeep get in an argument over the whole fiasco, and Woody gets an idea to save the rejects: they all animate and act like entire armies, almost possessed by poltergeists to scare the boss out. Since the shop becomes condemned, you would think oh all the toys have nowhere to go and now tons of them will be scrapped. Not a problem, as the shopkeeper discovers an abandoned mall in the middle of the woods, large enough to hold millions of toys comfortably and happily. In return for saving his friends, the shopkeeper returns Woody and friends to Bonnie just in time again before they leave, except this time one of the shopkeeper's favorites decide to join them, as his adventure with the shopkeep has ended, and wishes to see greater pastures.

And they keep telling us plastic straws and combustion engines in cars are the problem, yet this shit is completely unrecyclable and requires fresh plastic to be made.

single action figures should never cross the double digit dollar mark

The mountain of toys gets taller with every video.

Thanks so much for all the wasted petrochemicals and other resources to produce this toxic trash Disney and Hasbro!

Seeing those Black Panther toys still on the shelves reminds me of how when I saw a few VHS tapes the final time I went to K-Mart 10 years ago this May.

Whatever happened to just regular old toys? Big cars/trucks, army men, dinosaurs, etc. I went looking for army men for a little cousin’s birthday, checked Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and a few others - nada. I finally found an extremely cheaply made, overpriced bag of them at… hobby lobby. The selection of anything other than Disney toys and nerf guns at Walmart and Target was abysmal

My 8-year-old just wants toys that are experiences to put together such as jewelry and slime diy.

I hope the new Godzilla Kong film is good. But even if it’s not good the toys will probably still sell well since kids definitely prefer monsters over whatever the hell disney puts out

hasbro lost 1 BILLION IN 3 MONTHS IN 2023 AND IT WAS DURING CHRISTMAS...wild

Another 25 minutes of Disney/Marvel toys not selling…unfortunate for the stores themselves, but maybe Disney should stop making shit movies and tv shows!

Plastic recycling business is going to be booming soon, I'd invest now.

honestly I think regardless of what these toy companies do kids still wouldn't be interested in these toys. Kids simply don't care about action figure type toys anymore. they're more into building/interactive type toys which is odd considering the stereotype that kids do nothing but sit on their ipads all day. They love diy slime kits and those engineering cardboard building kits, pretty much anything that involves them creating something is what they're into. They also really love those tiny mystery unboxing type toys for some reason.

I actually saw new Wish toys dumped at Goodwill last weekend! I absolutely love watching Disney fail. This is exactly what they deserve.

Honestly, those Just Stop Oil protestors ought to protest these shelves full of garbage instead of blocking traffic and disrespecting art. THIS is a real waste of resources and a drag on the environment…

I collect Ninja Turtles, Jurassic Park, Monster High, and Tick. I used to be a huge Marvel and Star Wars fan, but I refuse to touch anything Marvel and Star Wars until Disney no longer owns them.

The toys are not meant for kids, they are actually being put out there for collectors. Except that the movies suck so nobody wants them.

They might want to consider not making toys for crap movies and shows.

From the view of someone who collects figures imported from Japan and sees prices significantly above this as reasonable for what I buy, these feel like they're pricing for the adult collector while making them kids toy quality, which makes them too expensive for parents to justify for their kids and too cheaply made for adult collectors. It's a middle ground you don't want to be in. Figma, a Japanese action figure line targeted towards adults, usually has figures priced at at least $60, some going into over $100, but they're high quality with partial hand painting to prevent machine painting errors and have a good amount of extra parts. However, the parts are quite small and wouldn't fare well with a child.

Any toy or merchandise manufacturer doing business with Disney is making a mistake.

They’re called the eternals because they eternally stay on store shelves

$6 for those large x-men figures is a great price. Up here in Canada, they're still trying to get 30$ for the same ones. They've been sitting on shelves for 3+ years now and stores are too stubborn to lower prices to a reasonable level.

The local salvation army was giving away Black Panther dolls "for free" as presents for our Dec 2023 Christmas. The kids receiving these dolls were happier to get cheap candy.

I always remember your channel when i see the Shuri copters lol

Ahsoka is not the 2024 Shuri Copter. The Shuri Copter is still around to be the 2024 Shuri Copter!

Disney thought the cute little star would sell lots of merch, but the scrapped human shapeshifting star was far more beloved and probably wouldve sold alot more of its merchandise. Disney not only robbed themselves of profit but us as well.

I work in the toy dept half the problem is that the price is set way too high for what the toy actually is. When the Federal minimum is $7.25 an hour before tax and one action Star Wars action figure is $30… That’s a little over four hours of work (before being taxed) for one 6 inch action figure.

I'm so glad Disney Toys are not selling.

When you show black history month and you showed godzilla and a dinosaur from jurassic park those were most likely going to be purchased and the person was like yeah nah randomly place it at a random spot

The problem isn't just that kids are more interested in digital things. It's advertising. I remember when I was a kid, watching kids TV shows, those ads were CRAZY. They made me feel like I needed to have those toys. No one is wasting their time on cable TV these days. Kids are either on RU-vid, TikTok, streaming services, or kids games. And you know what RU-vid shows kids? Shitty mobile game ads. The cycle perpetuates itself. It's sneaky like that. Mobile games are way more profitable than toys because kids don't need to steal their parents money to give mobile games money (although they do that a lot too). Just watching those awful ads is enough, and kids eat it up. To the kid, it doesn't feel like they're paying for anything. It's all "free" entertainment. In fact, the parents see it that way too. They don't need to take the time to go to a store and open their wallet to buy their kid a toy. Kids passively entertain themselves for "free" by just screwing around on their iPads.

The Black books piled on the rack makes me realize why I DON'T buy a lot of modern books that are strictly advertised for Black readers because I know I'm going to end up in an American Fiction scenario.

disney never learned.

Someone needs to revisit the “Island of Misfit Toys”

My kids have only played with Lego. They’ve never played with action figures. I guess the same goes for most kids these days and when they reach a certain age they only focus on their screens and abandon traditional toys.

The garbage cans are made out of recycled Marvel and Disney merch. 😄

I can't believe Ollie's still thinks they can sell this garbage. I wish my local Ollie's would just get rid of it all, to make room for more coffee, office supplies, and books. 🙄

Man, after 5 years of not watching this channel, it's so nice to see this type of video. Comfy, like settling in with a bacon cheeseburger and Big Trouble In Little China.

New carded Star Wars and Marvel figures at Family Dollar/Dollar Tree, that day is coming.

Over Christmas my nephew bought two of the black panther spears from Ollie’s my kids thought they were Link’s Spear from tears of the kingdom. I don’t have the heart to tell them otherwise.

Hasbro missed the boat with their Star Wars Retro Collection. They should have just reproduced and continued the entire old Kenner line of action figures and vehicles in earnest instead of putting out that tired vintage collection. It's guys in their 40s and 50s with a lot of disposable income who are buying the OT stuff. Not kids. Also, as an older collector it's great to have mint versions of Kenner figures I had as a kid without having to break the bank to buy an original.

"All I know is that they're fucking ugly, oh what are they called? Fuggler." I lost it, too good 👍

I was very disappointed not to see the return of the Admiral Holdo figure. I’m guessing they finally put her in the trash. Which is what they should have done with the script that put her in a movie.

I’m sure part of the problem was Disney’s insistence that Hasbro crank out so much of each product despite all of their internal research telling them that none of this crap was going to sell in anywhere near the quantities they wanted on the shelves. Disney will NEVER understand they will never replicate the OT toy sales. That was a rare one time only miracle.

$25 for Star Wars. Closer to $40 in Australia and they sit there until they drop them in price. Collectors are becoming more savvy when it comes time to spending money. We see a million on the shelf so it’s never going to be a collectible. Also people don’t have the disposable cash they had now.

Hasbro's latest financial statements (2023) confirmed this. The revenues from Star Wars, Marvel etc dropped $360 million 😅😅😅 they usually get around $1 billion + per year in that department.

7:59 I knew that Spider-Woman figure would pegwarm the moment it was first revealed because who wants a pregnant action figure? The Wokies call it “stunning and brave,” yet they’re not buying it either.

I worked with kids you wanna know how many are interested in toys? All of them especially elementary grade school kids. They always brought their stuffed animals, cars, Lego or Poppy Playtime toys to recess. And loved to play with the centers Lego’s and the girls with the dolls in the doll room. As well as their videogames and ipads for tech time. Just not the toys that don’t sell. (Why parents won’t buy them)

What is the name of the background song? That 50s, “mom grocery shopping in a dress” kinda music??

Hasbro caused their own problems but...they should be pissed at Disney.

Hey I worked as the floor supervisor for the toy department in Ollie’s back from 2019-2021! Shocking that so many of those figurines are still on the shelves, I had those same ones sitting around when I worked there.

I personally gave up. The only new toys I've bought over the past five years are Star Wars vintage reissues. I wanted the GI Joe and Transformers reissues, but they're over-priced while being lower quality than the originals. I want to get back into collecting Final Fantasy again, but that's somehow significantly more expensive than anything else.

'Ooh, Ghostbusters, let's press the button!' All of us when we see a 'Try Me' toy.

I had to pause the video at 3:51 but those are Ghosts'N'Goblins figures. Neat, didn't know those existed... Might have to make a trip to Ollies!

Magicless Kingdom and the Mountain of Trash

I wanna be a toymaker but i fear there's no market space for me

I'm not going to lie: whenever I see Hasbruh's stock tanking, I get a bit of a semi.

I think even toy manufacturers aren't yet willing to discuss simple 3D printed toys, but those are also cutting into their overall sales. Floppy dragons and skeleton astronauts in various colors and sizes sold at vendor shows on the weekends. I'm seeing just as many kids going after those as shampoo bottle figures.

I'm not surprised toys sales have tanked...quality is extremely low and the prices have gotten excessive. I'm a collector of diecast cars and I used to collect Hot Wheels but mostly Matchbox. Hot Wheels used to have all metal cars and some had opening doors, bonnets and boots...now all is plastic and nothing opens. Matchbox slowly went downhill then really dropped when bought out by Mattel...they used to nearly always have moving parts (doors, bonnets) and 99% had suspension and metal bases...now all are cheaply made to even worse than Hot Wheels (originally classed as rubbish in the old days) with no suspension and no openinb parts an 0% metal bases. I now have to buy direct from Japan to buy brands like Tomica Limited Vintage (very expensive) and other quality brands every now and then because everything in our local malls (this is in Australia) is cheap plastic junk more suited to dollar stores where a pack of 20 nondescript cars cost $2. Most of these problems occurred because US mega-companies have bought up all the other international brands and made them cheaper to manufacture but kept the same price or raised it even with the low quality. Also there is less choice these days as 3 or 4 brands own everything.

I blame Disney for this. I first noticed the drop in quality when they acquired Lucasfilm. The cheap, low quality, cash grab, with barely any articulation figures they produced were very disappointing to say the least.

Hazbro has to lay off the crack pipe with these prices man lol. 🤣 I think kids still want toys, they just don't want SHIT TOYS. That's what hasbro makes. Shit.

Something interesting to note is that all of the live action star wars stuff didn't sell, yet I did not see any clone wars stuff on shelves.

Don't they have an r&d department! Black people don't buy black toys!

What I really miss are the roleplay toys. The star wars nerf blasters, actually passable lightsabers, the cool (and reasonably priced) gauntlets...hell, I've bought all the Playmates Star Trek roleplay item releases, and im really hoping they hold out and release the tricorder.

What a huge waste of plastic

It's both nice and sad to see the downfall of Hasbro. I've been covering their financial reports for the last couple years and its a constant downhill fall other than Wizards. I was filled with joy seeing Wizards take a loss in the 4th Quarter because as a D&D fan I'm sick of how they are treating the franchise. Yet, I do lament that the company that brought my GI Joe and Transformers is falling apart. I doubt sales will turn around this year and as long as Hasbro works with Disney they are just throwing money into a trash can. I'm curious if the company will last long enough to trun things around.

Market saturations. Same thing is happening to gaming and cinema. It's impossible to sell infinite product to a finite market, but damn, do they try.

Fans: "Your shit is too expensive!" Hasbro: "Wait for it to go on sale if you're gonna be stingy!" Fans: "Okay." Hasbro months later: "Uh oh..."

Don’t insult trash by calling it Tessa Thompson! 🤣

I work at Walmart and I remember walking past a cardboard shelf with Black Panther Wakanda Forever. It stood there for at least six months and nobody bought a single one.

I have to tell you as a 40yo adult doll collector, I'm definitely one of the ones supporting the crap out of MGA's Rainbow High and Miniverse food franchise toys

It's kind of amazing that in your section of the country, you actually have new Micro Galaxy Squadron, on shelves! That line (at least the classic ships) is the best modern Star Wars toy line bar none.

As someone who has gifted generations of children in my family during Christmas, toys in our family only work up until the age 6, rarer, 10. After that, they'd ask for books, Korean or Japanese stuff, bags, usable items of clothing, gadgets, and even trips as gifts. If "toys" are ever asked for past the 11th age, it would be collectibles of an anime they want, like figmas, or BJDs which are more customized. This year, for example, I gifted my little niece a couple BJD dolls. NOT a Barbie, she asked for the dolls with the movable joints and a hand-made hooded jackets. I gave the other older niece a Lisa photobook. While my own girl got a new phone, an art set that costed a bit, and dual-tipped markers with a horde of sketchpads that she uses for her art. Children's tastes have changed. Long gone are days that mainstream media toys were popular or wanted. They still have a place, don't get me wrong, but it seems to not be the case in my family. At times, it was more appreciated if the gift could be used on the daily, if it can't be collected.

Makes me miss the days when it was only Rose Ticos that lined the shelves. 😂

Direct to ollies 😂😂😂😂 Man we got so much hasbro stuff. They pay pennies on the dollar. Endless pallets of starwars n marvels crap They are up to 500plus stores now

Really In think kids have moved away from traditional toys and gone towards digital media.

toys and dvds sell, garbage movies dont. almost all the mario movie toys sold well and fortnite toys and fnaf toys too, the problem is the iconic characters arent popular and are murders by ip demand then.

I swear action figures as a whole have just died off for kids even when I was younger I really saw anyone around my age have them as everyone I knew just wanted to buy toys that you could build such as Lego, mega blocks, buildable racetracks or train sets. Also there was things like Beyblade (which hasbro has also ruined) that were just way cooler than having a random plastic figure of iron man and cap. Over the summer I worked a kids summer camp program for my college and what I noticed is that of the toys we would have for kids waiting to be picked up by their parents was that they would always want to play with the lego bricks or have one of us play a board game or cards with them rather than mess around with the lot of action figures we had. Of course there was some that did but it was rare to see over the other things we offered them

11:05 fun fact you can’t even use those Disney infinity force awakens characters or playset anymore because you needed to do something on a website that is no longer available. For some nostalgia I went into 3.0 to see if I had every character and when I got to them it said I needed to do something on a website

All because Disney had to push their message instead of making things people wanted to watch.

You're gonna hate dusting those shelves full of figures, Jeff. Looks great though. As for collecting, I basically stopped years ago. I was tempted to buy the new, awesome looking "Squash and Squeeze" Slimer figure for the "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" toys, but then backed out since I just don't need another dust collector. Hasbro, Mattel, etc. are killing themselves with the price points on their figures. $15 and $25 for small toys like that? Get real. Hell, even Hot Toys figures are way, way too expensive.

G.I. Joe figures are $20 now? They were only around $2.99 in the 80's. Maybe $3.99 at Toys R' Us. I remember when my parents bought me the USS Flag and that was $100.

Kids don’t want *these* toys because toy companies are doing a shit job making them 💀

Kinda vibing with the fugglers haha

Wow 27,99$ for Sabine? Here in 🇨🇦 its 35,99$ for that crap

How do you open that toy package so clean and untouched? ---> 20:57 Do you heat it up to loosen the glue?

Did Shuri even have a helicopter?

Our local Ollie's had a ton of these action figures and other Disney trash, just like in the videos. But today most of it was gone. Might be at the local landfill.
