Lalaloopsies are plentiful at carboot sales here (or they were last summer).But interestingly so were Shopkins and the newer LPS. I tend to take flooding a carboot sale as being a sign of the decline of a toyline, but I think Shopkins at least are still going strong in stores?I think the thing is a lot of toys are faddish now, rather than inspiring long term commitment. I imagine a lot of the 'blind' toys like LOL Surprise will also vanish into the mist once the fad is over...even though right now they're thriving.
Ever After High seems to have vanished. They stopped making the dolls and the upcoming movie got cancelled I think? I'm sure they're still around in shops but they might have stopped making any new ones
I really want pinkie cooper back, I thought those were so cute...

I'm asking about 2010's forgotten toys but thank you regardless.You might want to add that to the original post, because I also thought of some older ones until I saw this comment Shibajuku dolls are still on sale here. If not for the show I would say Miraculous - except they have snuck back a little of late. The toys completely vanished from stores here 18 months ago...

Tyco Quints
I like Off the Hook, I'll be very surprised if they're remembered though. They're already starting to go on sale over here. They're cute but definitely seem like a "one line wonder" to me.I miss Pinkie Cooper so, so much. I knew it wouldn't last long but I still miss that line. I loved them.And yeah the POPs, they did fade into obscurity very quickly!! Those were odd. I don't think it helped that they had such a similar name to the Funko POP series either, that was pretty confusing. I agree w/ EAH being forgotten in the UK - they never really took off over here. They were around but they were never anywhere near as plentiful as MH and they disappeared pretty quickly. Wouldn't call them forgotten in general sense, but they definitely are over here.And oh! Hi-Glamm! Those are weird little dolls. I agree w/ them getting a spot on the list, never seen many posts about them but they do have a certain charm...edit: Oh, I just remembered - what about Chicks With Wigs? They seem pretty obscure, doesn't look like we're getting them over here, either. Pity since they're v. cute.Lost Kitties faded into obscurity pretty quickly, too.
Something a bit different, might not count, but remember the MLP POPs or whatever? Like the mix and match kits? I always forget those were a thing when thinking about G4. I remember seeing a lot of hype about it on the official Facebook page, but I don't think anyone actually picked them up. Other lines had their fanbase, like FiM Collection and Funkos, even GoH, but POPs? Nope.Something I think that could be forgotten over time are those Moj Moj toys. A lot of these "blob" and surprise toys are really taking over, pick one or two from the dozens listed on Amazon and I don't think people will remember them in a couple years. "Off the Hook", a bunch of clothes hanger-themed dolls (yes) came out this year I think, I don't think those will go anywhere. I haven't seen anyone talk about them.
