Like many of you, I’m a vigilante peg organizer. I straighten up the Star Wars pegs when I’m in a store even though I draw no salary from either Walmart or Hasbro. So like a dutiful chump this morning, I moved those wonderful Mission Series figures off the Black Series pegs and onto their correct location. What sat beneath is frankly gross.
Hasbro, is this the image you want for your brand or will you finally do something about this after over TWO YEARS? Is it okay for you that a figure so filthy that merely touching it leaves trenches in the accumulated dust is front and center for your flagship line? Are you proud that packaging that gives the appearance of being booger covered is a first impression for your brand? I know it’s Walmarts responsibility, but it’s your brand.
