It will never not piss me off that 80s She-Ra toys were action figures but when they went to make toys for 2018 She-Ra, they would only give us fashion dolls.

How did they learn nothing from the popularity of their own toyline?

Literally, three decades passed and somehow sexism in toys got WORSE.

#spop #shera #she ra #I want my SPOP action figures damn it #they could be completely lazy and just make the same toys again but make them look like the new show and I would take it #scratch action Catra but OUR Catra?#give it to me #i will even take bubble power she-ra idgaf #god I wish mattel wanted my money #*resists the urge to rant about the toy industry and all the ways they did this merch line dirty*#I'm not tagging mattel because then I will get the dudebros who think they know more about the toy industry than me when they SUPER don't #beyond the whole Target limited run / DC dolls thing shooting the SPOP toy line in the foot #the spop merch was very clearly made quickly as a reaction to the shows popularity #instead of ready at launch like a show that depends on toy sales #and if you are too clueless to understand the most basic way the industry works #you are not worth fighting with #'no one wanted the toys' ok jan #go on ebay and look at how much the spop toys sell for and try to say that again with a straight face #toylines that are legit bombs don't have a resale value like these do that's toys 101 babies #resale like that means supply issue #i'll stop now #this is my longest tag rant yet sorry everyone #and for that one specific dudebro let me clarify that obviously it would be great if all toys were made for everyone #but this toyline was specifically made and marketed for girls #and it's impossible not to factor marketing and intended demographic in when talking about this #see I said I would stop and it was a lie #now I'll stop for real
