The History of the Bad Piggy Bank - Angry Birds Plush

  • Around mid-2010, Angry Birds was set to make its way to Android devices, though some compromises had to be made so their user base could experience the same number one hit game as those on iOS. Making the game free-to-play but with advertisements was step one. Step two was allowing those who preferred the pay-to-play with no ads experience to do so, but this was more complicated than it might seem. Rovio created an all new billing system that aimed to provide consumers with an easy way to pay for Angry Birds and other mobile games. Dubbed as the Bad Piggy Bank, it gave users the ability to pay to get rid of the advertisements on the app or purchase the Mighty Eagle with the click of a button. After its inevitable failure, Rovio went back to the drawing board and created Angry Birds Magic, an all new way to play Angry Birds that incorporated NFC technology. Merchandise lines were planned for both of these innovation attempts, but neither came to fruition, the most infamous example being the Bad Piggy Bank plush by Commonwealth. Today, we look back at the Bad Piggy Bank and attempt to address all questions associated with it, covering every aspect imaginable. This video will include analysis, postulations, and some storytelling.

    Hello, everybody. A few quick and pertinent updates. This is likely the last video of Summer 2022, as I literally have College starting next week and that will likely consumer most of my time going forwards. However, I'm committed to not going on hiatus again, so I will do my damnest to make sure there's some content. Maybe an upload every month or two if possible. We'll see, this isn't confirmation of anything. I'll play it by ear. I love making this content as much as you guys like watching it and I appreciate all the support I've gotten over these past few months. UA-cam just isn't a viable sources of income for me so I'm unable to do this full time. Also, if you're reading this before the Premiere, I'll be on my Discord server following the Premiere in Voicechat if you'd like to talk Angry Birds Merchandise. Here's the invite if you're interested: discord.com/invite/hdFHD22fg8 Cheers.

    So I just recently got an angry birds plush. It's a Christmas Red but the tag was throwing me off. The bird came with a outer tag and it has the commonwealth logo at the top with other information I'll get to in a second. The tush tag has instead of a HK it has a BD and says it was distributed by good stuff toys. And has not for retail sail on both tags. The information seems very legit with manufacturing place, the MHB heart (though it is a little off center), the C E and much more little details. I'm not saying it's impossible to be faked. I wanted your opinion though if it is fake I don't care I'm just having one to have it not for resale. Thank you for reading this

      That is me. But what I have for sale is all I'm selling currently. I typically sell off items if I find better ones to replace them. For example, if I had a Red without tags and found one with, I'll sell the old off to pay for the new one. A secondary goal of mine is to get every plush with a side tag. If they can be had at a reasonable price or a price where I know I can make my money back, I'll do it.
