Open Your Toys Cast - 348

from Open Your Toys Cast

Toy companies really seem to be following this pattern. Is that because it’s essentially just us 30 to 50-year-olds buying this stuff now? Do you ever see a kid older than 7 in the aisles anymore? For MOTU, the Creative Beast guys double-dipped on the Dino-Riders-inspired Battle Cat and Teela exclusive homage. Transformers has been going back to its 40+ year old roots for years now. The new Dramatic Capture Grimlock scratches multiple itches for us old guys. Some nostalgia is simply fixing oversights of the past. How about an O-ring Ninja Force Quick Kick or Destro? While Star Wars might have one of the most beloved histories, they are probably doing the least when it comes to nostalgia. They are really pushing hard on more current, yet much less revered sources for their toys. Luckily for them, I love this amazing Mercenary Guard Droid and STAP.
