Playmobil X WWE

[Rhalius]

They don't even look like playmobil with those face prints.

Also wild that they'd make a clicky of Hulk Hogan considering his blatant racism.

If that was a criteria then practically none of the historical figures from any culture would be acceptable.

Exactly

As the saying goes ——“Always remember that when you're pointing your finger at someone, you've got three pointing back at yourself.”

Well this is certainly a choice.

I can only assume that this line will mostly be boxed characters like they did for Naruto with a ring set as the big piece of the theme.
I'm really curious about how popular wrestling is nowadays to justify buying the license.

I think it will depend on price too. If they are reasonably priced then they'd make good bits for mixing in with the new superhero theme either as superheroes or villains.

Come on, we know these will be at the top end of their prices.

I'm equally curious about what child would prefer Playmobil WWE characters over the Action-man style figures that Mattel makes (since surely they want to act out fights?)

What child wants an overpriced  80’s Porsche rally car toy ? Are there children lining up at toy shops demanding the Citroën 2CV

Me think Playmobil is continuing taping into the adult collectors market and they are buying the bargain licensing rights. Seeing (as mentioned ) that kids will likely not know what classic WWF was (beyond “Hulk is a Racist” because TicToc told me) I see this as yet again a LEGO style alternative market attempt.

Unfortunately though if a company buys “bargain bin” licenses, then shows low sales volume, then claims we told you so, that  is a poor marketing strategy in my opinion. What next Licence …..  Fleischer Studios or perhaps Yugo , or some other obscure old brand




Horst was clever and bold at a toy fair in the 70’s—  "Fortes fortuna adiuvat," or  "fortune favors the brave".

I agree the cars are primarily aimed at adults, but I think that is a bigger potential market (although that's just based on intuition). I also think there are probably children at the older end of the market who are interested in cars. I also imagine that adults who want WWE toys want them to represent the physicality of the wrestlers in a way that Playmobil can't.
