If I had to guess it would probably be any of those Lootcrate Exclusives they threw on people. Once those boxes were out people weren’t buying them ever. Saw them on FYE/Secondhand shelves forever too.

Kidding aside, top of mind for me are the Disney's Tomorrowland movie Pops! with Frank Walker, David Nix on it. The fact that I am remembering the names of the characters mean something.

That line was sitting on the shelves of the retailers here for YEARS. lol lol lol

I agree, Tomorrowland sat forever on shelves.... retailers probably just trashed them at some point?? No one wanted them. I dont even remember Zorn tho so maybe that was worse lol

this thread really got me thinking some more and it actually opens up some interesting topics. many years ago the alan & baby carlos pop (2013) was literally being sold on clearance for $1 in las vegas hotels...they couldn't give them away lol while today its a pop valued at several hundred dollars. so yes while the thread focuses on worst selling pops (from a retail prospective) it doesn't mean that the pop won't hold significant value in the future.

just sharing some random thoughts i had lol
