I don't know if it's me but does the quality of children's toys seem, well shitter than many years ago?(I wanted to get some of the raptors from JW because RAPTOR SQUAD but I hated all the toys because they looked so cheap, but were like £20, lol no).

I mean even pulling out my old JP toys, while the paint-job is a bit iffy on some of them the actual plastic seems to be fairly decent rather than what seems like hollow crap they use now.

[fishnchips]

I think so, too. I had some amazing action figures back in the day, but most of the things they sell now is... so off, in many ways. Either it's the anatomy, the paint job or the general quality (or everything together).
But it's not just the action figures -dolls and plushies seem to get cheaper as well (I had some gorgeous Barbie dresses/clothes back in the day - I haven't seen anything comparable for a long time).

[nightscale]

Oh you've got a good point on the plushies. I've got an old Simba and Nala from the Disney store and the material on them is really nice and soft and the stuffing feels right, but the new ones seem so much crapper, in both look and feel.

It's also probably branding as well because my bf got me a plush wolf last year and it's fur/stuffing is really nice and it looks good too, but it's also not a big name company so that might be why.

[fishnchips]

There are definitely some awesome (and expensive, yikes) plushy companies out there! I really love most of the animal plushies by a company named Kösen - they have so many adorable ones (and quite a few animals you don't see all that often in plushy form).

[nightscale]

They have a snow leopard... omg. But yowsa, those prices(they are quite purty though).

[fishnchips]

Yeah, the prices are nothing to scoff at, sadly. It's mainly why I don't actually have any of their plushies myself.

I'm a bit sore about the lack of Barbie clothes that come in a pack separate to a doll. The only things I can find a small slip dresses and accessory packs. I miss the outfit sets that I tried to buy a pile of in the late 90s, they were stylish, detailed, hardly cheap but they had at least three pieces besides shoes and stockings.

*Mourns* I just want a cool new outfit for Roz.

[fishnchips]

Right? I remember a lot of really cool outfit sets from back in the day - they were pretty great quality, too. I haven't seen outfit sets around a lot (although I have to say I wasn't looking for them, but still) and the ones I saw were... eh.

[ozaline]

It really depends, they are capable of much better tooling on a lot of toys these days, but plastic is more expensive (or was before the plumit of oil prices), so it's a huge trade off some are much worse, some are much better.

[nightscale]

Ahaa, well that explains some of it then.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad Lego remains impeccable in it's quality. It ain't cheap, but it's the best.

[nightscale]

Yeah the Lego stuff often looks better than the larger toys, I got my dad some of the new Star Wars stuff for Christmas and it's really nice looking.
