Is Forces of Destiny good?

I'm 8 years late on this one, but this is one of my favorites from Jenny. Her suggestions of creating a variety of unique characters and using the webisodes to introduce them (i.e. rather than tell half-baked stories) reminded me of Valve's marketing for the video game Team Fortress 2. That game has 9 unique playable classes, and Valve released a "Meet the {class}" video for each one, highlighting their personality and the role they play in-game. Those videos are universally beloved by the players and (I believe) contributed significantly to both the game's sense of community and financial success. It was a little bit sad to think that the executives in charge of toy designs were likely just phoning it in and creating toys that don't really engage a child's creativity.

long time since i rewatched this one and i absolutely howled at kylo in his little denim pinafore, how could i have forgotten him!

lmao "dudes who have nieces", harsh.

I saw him in a comic shop, laughed at him for a really long time, and used the fact that I was working on this video as an excuse to get him

Jenny, do you have any thoughts on the Lammily doll?

I appreciate this video because I am the aunt that buys stuff for her nieces and nephew that I would have loved as a kid but I know deep down that they won't appreciate. I kept the Wonder Woman and Batgirl monster high wanna be dolls I got for them a couple of years ago.

The game my friend and I played with our Barbies as a kid was called "Statue". We had the 'ugly' barbie as the statue and all the barbies and kens would be on a camping trip at a cabin and they'd make fun of statue. In the middle of the night while all the barbies and kens were sleeping, the 'ugly' statue barbie would come to life and kill them. We had extra barbie parts for dismembering. But dang, they all had some cool outfits on! That being said, Forces of Destiny was a fun idea that was executed poorly. I bought them, because I would have loved them as a kid and I'm stoked to buy merch with Leia/Rey/Padme/etc, but yea, Hasbro really missed the mark with these. I like your idea also, because I think way too often about how they all would interact in the same universe as pre-teens.

I'm waiting for a line of Star Wars-themed pony dolls: "Horses of Destiny."

This was really good and you are spot on about the "this kid I know loves them" defense. My daughter has them and likes playing with them (mostly, they go to school together), but she did not express any interest in them dolls until I started giving them to her. I have never seen her use the "squeeze their legs" action for anything. We don't have Kylo, but after seeing this video, I kind of want one to dress up as a farmer.

She said Christmas instead of Life Day!! Muh continuity ruined!!

Hop in my car, problem! Let me give you a lift!

Nice Big reference.

Can you please change my name from “Nicholas Ulanowski” to “Nick Ulanowski”? Thank you! 🙃

hate to be a bother but when i signed up i didn't realize the name i signed up with would immediately be used as my username. can you, in the future, list me as "m wilk" and not "marissa wilk"? thanks!

This video answered the question of whether Kylo and Leia wear socks under their boots and I gotta say, I could've expected Kylo would be the kind of grandfather-worshipping freak to go for the blister-inducing, sweat-soaked hell that is the sockless boot experience, but I expected better from his mom. She is a princess, dangit.

Kylo Ren is a never nude. That is one of the most brilliant things I have ever heard. Thank you Jenny.
