>>115288601>They're not trying to recreate the 1980s modelYou saying that, replying to that toy, is absolutely hilarious. Thank you for the laugh.
>they wouldn't have aired this show on fucking NetflixYou mean the one with the second biggest access to kids, only falling short of Youtube?
>and they would have put way more effort into a gigantic toy line with weapons and castles and shit like the original.Or, as per She-Ra, horses and sparkly accessories. Which they did.
>I see a handful of figures that look like, yes, adult geeks' collectibles floating around,Oh no
>that had massive product lines of elaborate toys that had jack shit to do with the show Starting from the second season, yeah. Because the show took off and was wildly successful even when they got the colors of one of the major characters wrong.
>, the business model didn't remotely resemble She-Ra or Voltron's REBOOTS.Actually its near identical, launch the show, launch a line of figures that's mostly the main characters plus some extras, launch a handful of "Big figures", Voltron's combiners or that fucking Swiftwind abomination respectively, and then when they take off expand the line.
There was only one failure, people weren't that retarded.
>Let's make a serial drama NETFLIX show to SELL ROYS" You mean like, oh I dunno, How To Train Your Dragon? Can't imagine where they got the idea.
>and then make a handful of toys only people who watch the show would want, Yeah pretty retarded to think anyone outside of the people who watched the show would even consider it and the number of people who watched it was too low to be sustainable even if every one of them did.
Pretty retarded.
> Nobody does that, even. Nobody on Netflix makes a toyline/merchline based off a show and then expects it to be popular enough to make bank?
Have you come from the universe without Stranger Things? Because I'm going to blow your mind.
