'Star Wars' toys arrive in stores
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — New merchandise for Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones arrived in stores yesterday as fans lined up for midnight sales of the latest from a galaxy far, far away.
After a large surplus of merchandise languished on shelves following 1999's The Phantom Menace, products for the new film are being kept simpler.
"We've scaled it back a lot," said Lucasfilm licensing executive Howard Roffman. "We're going to stick to the basics—toys, video games ... the things our fans prefer, rather than some of the
fringe items."
There are still loads of action figures and shiny space vehicles. But you won't see Queen Amidala's face on your Pepsi can or be able to relax in an Anakin Skywalker inflatable chair, and you won't have any Obi-Wan Kenobi clip-on braids to add to your hair.
Merchandising executives at Lucasfilm Ltd. dramatically reduced their movie tie-ins for Attack of the Clones, cutting the number of products by about half and reducing licensees from about 85 to less than 50.
"Last time, they just shipped too much," said Dave Gerardi, senior editor of the toy trade magazine Playthings. "After a few months, retailers had to put a deep discount on them and still couldn't move them."
The Star Wars merchandise line was still wildly successful, earning about $2 billion.
The previous Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi, had come out 16 years before The Phantom Menace, and Lucasfilm and toy manufacturer Hasbro Inc. said they overestimated the market.
"When you have a large breadth of characters and products like that, you're not going to hit on every single one." Hasbro marketing executive Martin Pidel said.
