CALLING FIGURES FROM THE 90’S AND EARLY 2000’S “RETRO” PERFECLY LEGAL (ALLEGEDLY)!

You might have seen it and felt a pinch in the heart when a brand like Hasbro calls toys from your childhood “retro”, but it turns out that it’s ok…

BREAKING NEWS:

CALLING FIGURES FROM 90’S AND EARLY 2000’S “RETRO” PERFECTLY LEGAL (ALLEGEDLY)!

You might have seen it and felt a pinch in the heart when a brand like Hasbro calls toys from your childhood “retro”, but it turns out that it’s ok…

The ‘Retro’ craze started years ago, most likely with the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection from Hasbro, which had the same packaging and design as the original vintage figures from the 70’s and 80’s.

Nowadays, Hasbro is continuing to play with nostalgia, releasing figures from many of their lines (Marvel Legends, Star Wars: The Black Series, Transformers,…) with a packaging similar to the one we had when we were kids/younger.

But recently, Hasbro has been using for their Marvel Legends figures retro line, the same designs as the X-Men, Spider-man, Fantastic Four figures from Toy Biz from the mid to late 90’s. Even more shocking, they announced during a recent Fan First Friday that the next Star Wars: The Black Series “retro” figures would be based on the Star Wars Episode 1 figures which came out in 1999 and early 2000… Is this still considered “retro”?

ToyFarce asked several experts, and also found on wikipedia that: “Retro style is a style that is imitative or consciously derivative of lifestyles, trends, or art forms from the historical past, including in music, modes, fashions, or attitudes. In popular culture, the "nostalgia cycle" is typically for the two decades that are 20–30 years before the current one.”

So… yeah. We’re just getting old. It’s perfectly normal and legal to call something from 2 decades ago “retro”. If we are to believe this, Facebook, Youtube, the iPod, the iPhone, the Playstation 2 and the Playstation 3, the XBox and XBox 360, the Gamecube and the Wii should all become “retro” during this decade. Ouch?
