Star Wars Forces of Destiny dolls.

[Teemu]

Thank you for speaking for all men collectively, and for linking sales figures.

More importantly, Forces of Destiny was specifically designed and marketed for girls. There may be some crossover appeal, and if Luke and Chewie do well, who knows what characters will be added. Is the line officially dead?

Regardless, there are comparably-scaled figures in the "boy's aisle" in a wider range of characters.

One approach, rather than denigrating female fans and customers, might be to contact the manufacturer and request more 1/6
male characters from the original trilogy. Would you buy them or are you just griping?

I don't need to show you sales links. I can observe myself. The female Dolls are not selling and are they rotting on the shelf.

Starwars is not just female or female leads, which seems to be the agenda push of Hollywood as of late..

Yeah, my wife thanks you very much for denigrating the first toy line that has got her to collect in years (I won't repeat her exact words when she saw the post...)

Yeah, it a pez head

[PNGwynne]

Great figure and R2D2. Is that a PEZ head, pretty sweet?

[kinostadt]

That scale looks pretty close to me. Maybe the R2 is just a tiny bit small for an 8" Luke? But I think the pair look great together.

[rche]

^^ that is what I thought; size wise spot on.
nice Luke. Is that a pez?

[pmwasson]

DO you have a side by side picture comparison????

Here is the R2D2 with an in-progress custom Luke:

Just a thought that this line is for the 52 percent minority and not 50 year old boys.

The line would be more popular if they would stop shoving females down our throat with Mary Sue leading the way. Boys don't want or buy girl dolls.That fact will always be true..

Perhaps start doing Han Solo and the rest of the gang instead of making almost all "barbie" Starwars dolls,because that is what they are.

I picked up the R2D2 and it is pretty much in Mego scale.

Do you have any side by side pics?

[pmwasson]

Has anyone taken any pics with the droids next to MEGO customs? The accessory figures (droids, ewok, yoda) all look to be more in 1:9 scale than the stylized 1:6 ish that the main characters are.

I honestly barely paid any attention to these until I was on the Hasbro website and saw the Luke and Yoda two pack. I'm not totally convinced I would buy some of these, but the Luke and Yoda figures sparked my interest a bit. It comes down to the fact that I really have to thread carefully with my collecting dollar and there are other things Star Wars related or otherwise I would rather have more than these as they do look maybe a little bit too much on the kiddish side.

The line was shown at Toy Fair but nothing new.
