Pop Culture Shock has entered an agreement to manufacture licensed collectibles based on Hasbro properties. The list of collectibles include various franchises such as Transformers, G. I. Joe, My Little Pony, Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering.
The announcement is as follows:
PCS Collectibles is pleased to announce we have now secured a licensing agreement with Hasbro Inc. We are excited about the opportunity to team with Hasbro in creating collectibles based on characters from properties like TRANSFORMERS, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, G.I. JOE and MY LITTLE PONY to name a few. Stay tuned for further details!
G.I. JOE, TRANSFORMERS, and MY LITTLE PONY are trademarks of Hasbro. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast LLC.
The company has produced amazing statues over the years and we are sure to see the same level of commitment towards the franchises we love and care.

What is this? Is this FunPub's replacement? Is a GI Joe Club still going to exist, just under new management?
Just an uneducated guess.
Dragasses says
isn't this the same company that continually teases amazing figures, but rarely brings them to market?
seems like a good idea, if pcs needed seed money to make things happen. or disappoint.
sbartek1974 says
Oh...okay, so these are only statues. Like those busts that they make? Not figures. Never mind. Pass!
solosam says
Don't care about statues.
Want new toys.

I know there are a million partial answers to this question, so I'm posing it mostly rhetorically, but if there's a market for statues, and bobble heads, and busts, and kreo figures, and combat heroes kiddie figures, why is it so hard to make actual action figures? How come the GI Joe brand is producing every kind of toy except the ones I want?

I think it's a niche market. They don't need to move 3 million statues to profit the way Hasbro does with action figures. They can sell a limited number and that limit increases their value.

I checked out a few sites like Time, Newsweek, Forbes, CNBC and Amazon's most wished for.
Here some of the top toys that appeared on most of those lists.

Hasbro is playing it smart by licensing the property and keeping it alive that way until they can find a way to revitalize the concept which will probably be in Spring of 2020.
