Speaking of toys, apparently the Ultimate Forms didn't work out well in selling Ben 10 toys because I heard that Ben 10 Ultiamte Alien's toy line did poorly in sales. So poorly that there were even certain stores, such as Walmart and Target, that wouldn't even want to sell any Ben 10 Omniverse toys, greatly limiting where anyone could find any of those toys and really damaging the toy sales for Omniverse. This is what I heard though and I heard of this from the last podcast from this week on the RebelTaxi channel on YouTube. When was the toy line for the Ben 10 reboot announced? Oh yeah, about a month after the reboot itself was announced and apparently CN has that stupid mindset that the success of a show is determined by the sales of the toys so if toy sales don't do so well for a certain show, that show pretty much gets the boot. We lost so many good shows as a result of this and this greatly affected other shows as well, such as Young Justice getting cancelled and Ben 10 Omniverse episodes being rushed out everyday and new episodes airing too early in the morning. If toy sales did poorly for Ultimate Alien and Omniverse (as well as other shows), what makes CN think that the toy line for the Ben 10 reboot will succeed in sales and if toy sales for the reboot do poorly, how is that going to affect the Ben 10 reboot? I'd say that CN needs to get themselves out of that stupid mindset with their toy lines. If they want to sell toys, that's completely fine to do. Just don't let toy sales affect the shows themselves. Just because a toy line for a certain show doesn't do so well doesn't mean that the show itself isn't doing so well either.
