How come modern cartoons doesnt get much merchandise and toys compared to older cartoons?
Because even literal children aren't as infantilised as millennials
Shows like paw patrol get plenty of toys. The shows you're thinking of are not cartoons for children, but cartoons for manchildren, so they get moronic funko pops instead.
plastic is bad for the environment 🙁
who the frick wants merch of modern cartoons?
Also most babies now, don't want toys, all they want / have to play with is tablets.
SU had merchandise
You grew up
1. kids don't play with toys that much anymore because of endless free content online
2. majority of modern cartoons are made for manchildren, who buy different kind of merch, not regular good old action figures
3. you are adult and terminally online so you don't look around children's toy shelves like you did as a kid
>. kids don't play with toys that much anymore because of endless free content online
toy salesare actually remaining consistent in the face of digitalization compared to TV or print media
while reading or watching content has been eclipsed by online distribution
boardgames and toys have maintained a comparative advantage, you still cant download a transformer
Frick, I'd love to get some of these for my desk.
Wow those look like shit
Kids doesn't play with toys anymore
It's both cheaper and more profitable to give them access to something online to play with. I'll never forget how let down I was when I found that the prizes in Cracker Jack boxes had been reduced to QR codes.
>Mattel and Hasbro killed the action figure market with their duopoly.
Did you forget about McFarlane Toys?
I'm talking about playline action figures, McFarlane' stuff are for 12 year olds&up.
>Toys R Us went bankrupt in 2018
>it's 2022 and they're *still* trying to "make a comeback" via inserting themselves into Macy's stores and malls 'n shit
did any of you anons visit a Toys R Us when they were closing down?
>when they were closing down?
No, for I cannot afford children.
Yeah. It was all Imaginext, Minions, and random Pixar shit left on the last days at my local store.
the new left activists think that capitalism and money is bad .
the networks just assume kids won't buy them so they don't bother licensing the IPs out to toy companies
Nowadays, cartoon merch is only purchased by adults who can afford giant statues.
Because only grown adults watch cartoons now
Kids are on ipads. Have you seen the Roblox section at Walmart? Pokemon cards? Even Among Us is old news now
New cartoons suck
So many hot topic, box lunch shit for shows like SU, Adventure time etc
Nobody tell him the amount merchandise Rick and Morty gets,
Anime killed cartoons, so in a way /ic/ killed Cinemaphile
As a 30 year old boomer and toycollector, most of those cartoons barely got merch in their peak. Dexter and Power Puff Girls had small toylines in 2001/02 just as their shows were winding down. Most of the others are kids meal toys, or from 04-06 where they were made alongside then-modern cartoons like Fosters and Chowder. Then in the 2010s Adventure Time and Regular show got toylines but weren't very good.
>tfw still no Robodexo figure with Dexter pilot
I never even knew that Dexter Lab got toys, until I got older.
It is criminal how toyetic Dexter Lab was, yet just got few shitty toys.
>>tfw still no Robodexo figure with Dexter pilot
>mfw Soul of Chogokin Dexter's Lab is never ever
>30 year old boomer
Please don't support this cringey meme. You're a millennial.
Nice display anon.
I still have that Mandark, Dee Dee with the teddy bear, but I lost that Dexter holding the wrench. They were from a set. I have this Dexter figure, which is slightly larger than the two similar one. His wrench is somewhere, along with a small figure of Dee Dee. I lost Monkey, which is the one in the image.
