I know it Dickie but put Dinkie in the thread title to make it sound funny.

But how does this Simba-Dickie company feel when Hasbro let them do toys on the line they are going to scrap - with no sign that after the last series 19 ep's we'll get more of this line. But Hasbro still have all the characters from series 1 to make toys of - but expect not to see half of them.

This Dickie toys line could outlast Hasbro run on the line. But what are peoples views. When Hasbro are a toy making company at the end of the day.

It wouldn't be the first time companies produce products for something the lisence holder will abandon, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

And most likely this is a gateway. Many companies, if they have long term plans start with whatever the mainline is, then switch to products based on the replacement line, and may start dabbling in popular older lines if they're getting long term fan interest.

The thread title frightns me.

I understand any of this! WHAT'S A DINKIE AND WHY DOES 'NOVA LIKE PLAYING WITH HIS?!?!?!

Just take appropriate care when playing - you don't want to damage your goods, whether dinkie or dickie or dinky dickie.

Take exceptional care when playing with simba dickie.
Nala doesn't like it and will kill you.
