I meant to do this at the start of the new year, but never had time to collect my thoughts and write them down. Now with Toy Fair just days away, I figured I’d post my resolutions – or rather, what I think the companies out there should resolve to do in 2019.
Jazwares
• Knocked it out of the park with Fortnite figures. Even though I don’t play the game, they came out with a nice first series of 13 figures that blend in well with GI Joe style figures. Resolution – please give us Series 2 and 3.
Hasbro
• Work with Target and Walmart to fix your distribution issues.
• Keep going with the Black Series – make as many releases like Wave 19. That was beautiful.
• More aliens from Solo movie
• Disown the Kessel Run Millenium Falcon – a public apology might be nice
• Stop the Midnight Madness – no one cares anymore, and show some stuff during Toy Fair. Waiting for SDCC is ridiculous. No one cares about secrecy anymore.
• Have a great lineup for Epsiode 9
• A 6 inch scale Indiana Jones line
• 6 inch scale Black Series for GI Joe – it’s long overdue, and regardless how militant the 3-3/4’ collectors are – everything has been done and the line needs some energy injected into it
• Marvel Legends – finish the original Alpha Flight team – really, that’s all I want. Marvel Legends rocks. A few more Netflix Daredevil figures would be great while you’re at it.
Mattel
• Keep up the great work with the Jurassic Park line. Maybe a few more human figures and stop short packing them. Thanks!
McFarlane
• Bring back 5 inch Walking Dead line.
• Do a 5 inch Fear the Walking Dead line. That ship has sailed but there are a few great characters.
• Keep doing Stranger Things figures. Nancy and Jonathan please.
• If you’re going to do Game of Thrones, please release more than Series 1.
• Do your WW2 McFarlane Military figures.
• Stop the NFL repaints of the same figures. At least do different players, I don’t care if it is the same mold.
NECA
• More Marines from Aliens – which means the actors need to resolve to release their likenesses.
• The rest of the soldiers from the original Predator – ditto above.
Funko
• Bring back Walking Dead mini-figures. Need Negan and his crew. And now we have Whisperers.
• More 3-3/4 scale Game of Thrones figures – so much potential.
Super7
• Figures from the Dark Crystal series
• Finish the Goonies and Star Trek
• Original Battlestar Galactica figures
• Red Dawn figures (Original Red Dawn)
• Friends - the tv show
Chicken Fried Toys
• Finally release your Dime Novel Legends figures – Kickstarter ended in 2016. I know we are close. Just want my western figures.
Mezco
• Release Series 3 and 4 of Heroes – or place these in Blake Wright’s Toys That Time Forgot Volume 3
Anyone
• 6 inch scale Indiana Jones line
• Someone finish releasing the Bridge Direct Hobbit figures
• Someone good with a 3D printer make more GI Joe Combat Heroes
• Finish Palisades Muppets and Sesame Street line
LEGO
• Muppets
• Disney Tinkerbell and her buddies
MEGO
• Friends
LANARD
• More Dino Wranglers from the Corps line
Four Horsemen – don’t change. Keep doing your wonderful stuff. And when is the Mythic Legion Space series coming?
Playmobil – keep doing what you are doing or try a few more licenses – Star Wars?
Toys R Us – come back but make sure your previous owners and investors are in jail
Target and Walmart
• Fix your distribution as well as fill in the empty spaces of your toy aisle
• Restock after Christmas – geez, you’re starting to look like KMart
Walgreens – keep doing Walking Dead figures – thank you!
Playset Magazine – thank you for continuing to do print. Love it!
Fellow Bloggers – keep doing what you are doing. Even though technology changes the audience and channel, and even if I don’t always comment, I love seeing what everyone is up to.
