i'm perplexed. Once again, we did get a healthy amount of items, not just snuggies. However we did not get a windfall. Few things are getting a windfall.
Star wars toys may not excite the people here, but they rake in a lot of sales from faithful customers of all ages. Disney's Cars and Princess items are very, very, very big business all year-round.
The Muppets will just take a little longer for general retail interest. That will come with the success of the movie. Such general retail interest has nothing to do with Disney and everything to do with people who want to pay for the license to make their products. If anyone's embarrassed, it's the companies that passed on an opportunity to partner with Disney to make some Muppet stuff. I'm sure they're making plans now.
Also, keep in mind that products don't spontaneously happen. They can take 4-12 months from conception to store shelves depending on the type of item. I hope they'll do something with the DVD push. We'll see. I just don't see the point in complaining. I think the point is that there just aren't figures. That's 99% of the gripe and I'm disappointed in that too.
