Wait is that why it was $10 on GWG last week?

Same.
Was under the impression it was making loads of money.
I guess that's the trick of perception versus reality though.... where was the money being made?

They promised more marvel female representation later this year though 
Black Widow and Gamora is an awful selection
I should probably get falcon since he's the last guy I'm missing before its too late
battleground was a cool playset

Crazy. I figured the Star Wars stuff would have sold a fuck ton.

You might see a Dimensions 2 if it already is far along. Who knows about after that though.
How is writing the news in the title savage?

Well, at least I have my Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and Rocket Raccoon figures. I was hoping it'd last until KH3 though, so I could finally get Sora/KH!Donald/KH!Goofy and the not-stupidly-exclusive Keyblade Mickey tho.
Botty redeemed again! Boy did that guy ever hate Disney Infinity.
I look forward to watching Amiibos burn to the ground as well.

It's just a bummer because it seemed like after years of promoting sub-par stuff, he was finally the spokesman for something he genuinely loved and was super passionate about. It sucks to have a job like that taken away from you.

This sucks.
All the new Marvel figures are ~$8.00 on Amazon right now because of Civil War, get them while they're cheap I guess.

For sure. 3.0 was great, especially the Star Wars stuff.

Don't remind me.

My first thought... hope he doesn't find out till he gets back from vacation. That would be a bummer to hear WHILE at Disney.
Was there ever an indication the games were a Skylanders size hit or that the figures were as popular as Skylanders or amiibo? Genuinely curious, not meaning to kick them while they're down and I sincerely hope any vocationally affected by this will land on their feet and then some.

That can be turned around though. Do something like Kingdom Hearts with an original story.

I have a friend working at Disney Interactive, but fortunately he left the company a couple months ago. Good timing.
Damn, and it was starting to look interesting too, with the kart racer and fighting game type thing. Not to mention how nice the figures are.
For me it was always "hmm, cool... I'm ALMOST interested!" I feel like there were a lot of people in that bracket of cool, but not cool enough.

I think this leaves Activision as the only major player in the genre (yes, Amiibo, but that's a somewhat different business model).
Technically Warner hasn't left, but they haven't announced any intention of launching a new game this year, or even launching something that's not an expansion pack at some mysterious date in the future.

Sell the LucasArts point and clicks to Double Fine, thanks.

This is surprising. Infinity seemed to do well, and they were prepairing to build on 3.0 with expansions and cut down on further iterations.
Perhaps the cost on their end was too great to sustain. Curious to see how Activision, Nintendo, and Lego will fare moving forward.

Having worked directly with Disney i guess it comes as no surprise.

It is time for Nintendo to immediately unleash the Pokemon amiibo line before the fad passes

crazy. I did not see this coming.
I remember a discussion about this on GAF last month so this isn't too surprising to me.
There are people(including kids) who love those games in addition to the people who are probably losing their jobs over this so that's kinda a messed up opinion to have.

I wouldn't really consider amiibo to be the same as these toy to life figures.

On the contrary, I'm hoping the value doesn't crash while I try to unload mine.
Fuck, I knew I waited too long.
This is so weird
They were selling many figured with 3.0 and they already confirmed that they were planning many new playsets for this year after the Marvel one
With skylander struggling too this could cheers nintendo approach of not tiyng the collectible figures to a specific videogame (looking at their amiibo income)
