SPY x FAMILY: Anya Forger sweets are auctioned off in stores
In many previous articles we have already discussed what happens when producers lend their wholesale license to any company to make themed products. This causes the market to become crowded and, when supply exceeds demand, prices fall. This represents losses for the manufacturer (or the stores), and an example was presented recently Spy x FAMILY.
The IS “Anya Candy (アーャアメ)It is a candy that has a combination of sweet and sour fruit flavor inspired by Anya Forger, one of the biggest characters of the popular franchise. Both the outer bag and the individual folders have a secret design. Well, this candy comes from a collaboration between the franchise and the company Pain Co.. It was released in convenience stores on October 4 at a price of ¥204.However, just two months later the price has already depreciated a lot, falling to ¥178a drop of almost 13 percent.
This was shown in a photo that became a trend on social networks in Japan, showing a huge yellow sign with the sentence: «Auction of all the Anyas there is!», which suggests that the store in question is already trying to empty its inventory of that product. In the end, it proves just that Not everything that Anya Forger faces will be successful especially if so many products carry it right now.
Of course, there were comments in comment forums, emphasizing that:
- «Interesting».
- «“Father, help!” Wow, I can’t believe they didn’t sell. I was interested».
- «Hey? Where is this? I have been looking for these sweets for a long time, and now they tell me that they did not sell well».
- «What? Wasn’t it a limited edition product that was only available for a moment? It was so good I want it now».
- «What a surprise».
- «What store is this happening at? I have to go now!».
Summary of SPY x FAMILY
For the agent known as “Twilight”, no order is too tall if it is for the sake of peace. Acting as Westalis’ chief spy, Twilight works tirelessly to prevent extremists from unleashing war on neighboring Ostania. For his latest mission, he must investigate Austrian politician Donovan Desmond infiltrating his son’s school: the prestigious Eden Academy. Therefore, the actor has the most difficult task of his profession: to get married, have a child and play a family.
Twilight, or “Loid Forger,” quickly adopts the humble orphan Anya to take on the role of six-year-old daughter and prospective student at Eden Academy. As a wife, he meets Yor Briar, a distracted office worker who needs a partner to impress her friends. However, Lloyd is not the only one with a hidden nature. Yor is the deadly assassin “Princess of Thorn” and Loid’s marriage creates a perfect cover for her. Meanwhile, Anya is not the ordinary girl it seems; she is an esper, the product of secret experiments that allow her to read minds. While discovering their own identities, Anya is delighted that her new parents are great secret agents! She wouldn’t tell them, of course. That would ruin the fun.
