Remember a time when toys were fun and pandered to kids instead of collectors?
Remember a time when, as a result, kids used to play with them even when cartoons and video games were readily available to them?
Hell, kids even used to read comics back then, now only middle aged men do.

I wanted that badass but could never find him in the shops he was always sold out everytime my mom took me.

Same as the damn raptors and t-rex toys for Jurrasic Park so I had to settle for the wounded tricertops.

This August is premiere. I find it weird as well.

They do a fucking promo tour over a year before premiere in a childrens hospital, the children won´t even know who they are unless they follow fucking imdb news. Hell, they probably died or will die before this piece of shit is out. Fucking disgraceful movie for this reason alone just pure engineered marketing hype.

>>64627478
And I wonder why that is was my point.
Most kids stopped playing with figurines before iPads even, because middle aged nerds took over their hobby and marketing started pandering to them instead of the original audience. And they've stopped playing outside, not just because of all of this stuff available to them, but because fear sells in the media causing parents to see kidnappers and pedophiles everywhere, panicking if the kid doesn't report to them on his cellphone every couple of hours. I was a kid just before the cellphone revelation started. I remember a time where you could be gone for half the day without parents worrying where you were, and there was a certain healthy freedom to that for both parties. Furthermore, I don't regret treating my toys like toys, I had fun with them at the intended age and I don't care if they can't sit on my shelf any longer.

I had Egon, the Hard Hat Horror and a few ecto-plazms.
I was really frustrated when the toyline seemed to just disappear from stores overnight and was too old when Extreme Ghostbusters rolled around. Wouldn't have minded owning more Ghostbusters or G1 Transformers for that matter, but had to do with TMNT instead.

These toys were purely made so Sony gets progressive points. They have no intention of winding up in the hands of a child, they will be buried en masse in the ditch next to ET cartridges.

Same thing with the Men In Black cartoon being much better than both sequels combined and the 1K98 Godzilla cartoon being better than the shitty movie it was based on.

Just wait for the remakes of the "Dollars Trilogy", featuring an all-women starring cast, and a dubstep soundtrack.

>Well, we have a bunch of left over gorilla action figure heads. What should we do with them?

Depending on how big they are, I might get one so that I can put a proton pack on a storm trooper.

I'd be willing to give the figure itself to /tv/ on the agreement that the recipient hot glues the gorilla and posts it.
>>
>>64630967
I think it's helped along by the fact that it isn't a complete reboot but a sequel to The Real Ghostbusters. That and they didn't just try to ride on the character's diversity and as a result they're fairly well written for a children's cartoon.
