My criticsm for them has always been for not trying to compete with MO in the collector market. hopefully the vauge hint for 2013 means they thnik there is a real market.
Hopefully they dont make the dcih mistake of lower quality at a higher price with little or no a or b list charecters in the first few waves.

In my area, both 4" and 6" GL lines sold like wildfire for a few weeks, across the board, in all stores.
They could barily keep them stocked.
However, that's what killed the line here, as well. Mattel took so long getting additional waves out, that all the stores finally filled up with wave one, and we never saw much beyond that. Once everyone got their fill, they never got a chance to get any newer figures unless they resorted to online.
