why is it okay for you to have toys from your favorite cartoons as a kid, but not okay for kids today to not have meme/internet culture based toys?

My complaint about toys nowadays is that the loot box culture. Can't just buy the toy you want.

Shows are a tangible moment in time and internet culture is weird and fleeting.

I assume this isnt a serious post.

This falls under what I would consider the old thing good new thing bad type of nerd rage.

And Im so glad I grew out of that in my teens.

They look less like toys and more like some shit you'd put on your desk and forget about forever.

Imagine being this tonedeaf. Thinking some execs at a toy company have their ear to the ground and they really caught on to something here.

Media getting a hold of the Hard G made jt an unwinnable fight.

Ill ride for soft G until the day I die but Now these kids are being exposed to it. Its over.

Okay, do me a favor: look up a video of Saturday morning commercials from [year when you were somewhere between four and eight years old] and you'll be reminded of loads of old shows that have effectively been erased from the zeitgeist. You only remember the really, really good stuff.

Anyone remember Eek the Cat? I bet if you do you haven't thought about it in a good twenty years.

I look at Eek! The Cat all the time. I've been trying to find a song that played at the end of an episode. I haven't been able to find it.

The toys I remember from my childhood were the most popular shows or movies at the time. Transformers. Power Rangers. TMNT. Jurassic Park.

It definitely wasnt Samurai Pizza cats even though I watched the shit outta that show.

This is a moot point. Just cus it existed doesnt mean the toys of it were flying off the shelves.

I think that was his point. These toys exist, but won't be selling out big. It will be yet another forgotten toy in the future.

About all that ever existed for Samurai Pizza Cats merch was model kits in Japan.

Looks like there was a revival of sorts last year: https://digitalshokunin.tumblr.com/post/163588055818/es-gokin-pururun-at-wonder-festival

Are these based on actual gifs? I've never seen them before. But they look cute, I don't really see the problem.

When I was in fourth grade kids were collecting Crazy Bones, which were literally just chunks of plastic that looked like faces. The company didn't even bother to paint the eyes lmao.

Then when I was in high school my younger sister's class was all about Silly Bandz.

And then a few years ago Shopkinz were literally everywhere.

Meh.

Now if you made a topic featuring the girl who had a mental breakdown over being surpassed in tiktok followers that would be a valid point about how kids are fucked these days. or parents. Or both.

Why do you keep getting lost in your own topic? You're very confused about who says or does what. Like a... well, you guessed it.

Are you even with us my dude?

The only one lost here is you. You asked a stupid question about google. I asked an equally dumb question back at you.

Go ahead and keep up.

as a small kid, i had ninja turtle toys that had absolutely nothing to do with ninja turtles whatsoever. like, beach outfits and baseball uniforms. why the fuck did i like these?

you just know some old dudes in a room were compiling a list of practically everything in life and trying to figure out how to put a ninja turtle in it. but i still ate that shit up.

this isn't really any different. this actually makes more sense, in a strange way.

Id almost swear the original is at least 20 mins long. I couldnt watch most of it but at some point she literally curled into a fetal position screaming gibberish and it stuck with me. Lol.

Its disturbing as hell but i mean.... sorta funny. Kinda?

Seriously, go to bed.

The guy who brought it up couldnt even find the original and I never once did for a second. This is your own lunacy at work son. I ask again. Are you with us?

What are you even talking about?

Toy companies are capitalizing on something popular at the moment. Just like they did in the 80s and 90s.

Youre just being jaded because it doesnt cater to you anymore.

TC's been hopping on YouTube, watching little girls play with toys, then decided to moan that the toys aren't cool enough.
