What THEY should do next?
 

Hey everyone it's Johnny,

I was browsing through some posts on other websites talking about certain companies and what their next focus should be. It's something that everyone thinks about. I thought it would be a fun game to play here at the Ark since everyone has their opinion and we all like hearing their suggestions.

The idea is simple, what should certain Toy Companies do next? Regardless of good or bad...

Hasbro - Stop leaving the fans behind. Your more concerned about making children and stock holders happy by catering to their needs of movie franchises than the true reason you all still exsist, and that is THE FANS. You left G.I. Joe 25th behind, you also left Transformers Classics behind, and now you are leaving the Star Wars Expanded Universe. There is no more reason to collect anymore. It's just another few years of miserable repeats, repacks, and repaints.

Hasbro - Make the Marvel Legends community the figures they want. I'm not a ML collector, and won't be, but you had the most loyal and enthusiastic fanbase I've ever seen when you bought the line from ToyBiz, and you have not catered to it. I understand the addition of the 3 3/4" line - hell, I LOVE it - but you can damn well do both. Go back to the Build a Figures, go back to the great articulation, and shell out the extra dough to not reuse the same sculpts every single damn time.. This fanbase will not let you down. If they're willing to pay 50 plus bucks for one figure by ToyBiz on eBay instead of paying 15 or 20 for one of yours a few blocks from their home, you are dropping the ball.

I think Hasbro should consider selling Marvel Legends directly to the consumer online like how Mattel does with MOTU and Ghostbusters etc.
