The real killer is that the did this with toys priced at $9.99 and not $54.95.

[Wednesday's Serial]

What are you people on about?

- No signs of the comics stopping
- New movie just came out
- DLC coming for a widely loved TMNT game
- Another new video game coming
- New TV series coming
- New Toys all the time
- All the merch associated with all of that

TMNT hasn't been this big since the 90's. We may not be reaching those heights, but still plenty of it.

87.5% of the respondents voted "no", TMNT is not "over".

It should be even more, apparently I voted yes but I couldn’t tell you when or why I even did that.

hhm, me thinks me senses a


I'll be shocked if that tv series happens at all with the strike and isn't quietly cancelled. the only reason people are talking about the movie toys is because of the white april figure. bay merch and rise merch didn't sell, I doubt this will either.

IDW is a dead company walking. tmnt and sonic are the only things keeping them going and not by much.

Nooooooo.
The licensing deals are successful.

[Vegita-San]

bingo imj.

The movie is a flop. lost money.

The TV serires, and SECOND movie, IF they happen...are only happening due to pre made arrangments. and the movie is most likely heading direct too streaming.

[CyberCubed]

The movie hasn't done too badly at all. The show and a sequel is likely going to happen regardless, this is our next version of TMNT for at least the next few years.

[Vegita-San]

some success . a week or two out and already on clearance.

The retailer could have over bought for that specific location.

[oldmanwinters]

Yeah, I haven't been into too many Targets lately, but I'm shocked at how hard the local Wal-marts went for the Mutant Mayhem loot.

Still wanna try those TMNT snack cakes though!

[IMJ]

Furthermore - the big money in sales is being attributed to this movie incorrectly - and even I did it to some extent because of recency bias, but lest not forget that TMNT has toys and merch licensed out everywhere right now - NECA has at least 4 TMNT toy lines, BST AXN has a line and so on.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, I mean it's pretty weird now. It's not even like the Little Mermaid blowback. All of the people that in theory should be supporting this thing are suddenly very quiet. Like they agree this is maybe way too many steps forward into weirdness. Probably people who enjoyed Snow White as a kid.

People should spend some time watching some Canada TRU walkthroughs from toy hunters and the like. They have a lot of promos and sales like this, more than you would expect at a store in the USA. They do things differently there, might be do to the overall higher on average mrsp on items.

They definitely have their own way of doing things. Example, a case assortment of figures, you would expect them to all be priced the same right? That is how it works at almost every store in the USA. Not so there, you might see some figures higher than others, even when they come out of the same case. Usually only specialty shops pull that kind of thing.

I think TMNT won't be over until the people who grew up with the 2012 Nickelodeon cartoon die off, they would now be in their 20s, so it'll be a while.
