That's the report on
Toy News, regarding 2006's financial figures regarding the toy industry in the United States. It's not all bad news though, as they are predicting an increase in 2007 due to movies such as Transformers and Spider-man.
"Action Figures, which performed strongly in 2005 due to the huge
success of Star Wars products, experienced the largest decline in
dollar sales in 2006, dropping by nine percent and generating close to
$1.25 billion.
According to Frazier, the Action Figure
super-category can expect to see increases in 2007 because of the
release of major action movies. "As a rule of thumb, licensed
product will comprise approximately 25 percent of total toy sales in
any given year," she said. "With movie releases such as Transformers,
Spider-Man 3, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the action
figure super-category should realize gains in 2007." "
